Maine Senate Candidate Was 'Overwhelmed' by Campaign's Controversy Response, Strategist Admits

Graham Platner's lead campaign strategist, Morris Katz, admitted that controversies surrounding his social media posts and tattoos should have disqualified him from running for Senate, but did not. The comments were made in response to a report of the incidents. Katz acknowledged that he had been 'naive' about what content would be deemed acceptable on social media. He stated that the controversies were likely enough to disqualify him if the Democratic Party had taken action sooner.
