Graham Platner: Walking Red Flag (Half the Answer #93, with Marisa Kabas)

Graham Platner is a parade of red flags stuffed into a pair of yellow rubber waders, and yet so many let those things slide with a tsk-tsk at best. For others, he was a bad man with bad views who unfortunately represented the only possible way to reverse the GOP majority in the Senate. Improperly vetted, he relied on his ‘everyman’ image to skate through the primaries despite several rounds of damning information reveals. But mere weeks from the deadline to finalize the candidacy of contenders, a story finally emerged that nobody could ignore. We ask Marisa Kabas of the Handbasket how it feels to have people suddenly come all the way around, and why it’s so frustrating that they didn’t figure it out sooner.
