Graham Platner has already quit the race to be the next senator from Maine, but defenses of the once-rising Democrat are only growing. Many of them aren\u2019t coming from the progressives who had boosted the working class oyster farmer-turned-politician, but from people who typically loathe the left.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost every guy I know did what he\u2019s being accused of at one point or another with their girlfriend at some point after a night of drinking,\u201d complained the Donald Trump-loving comedian Adam Carolla on Sunday\u2019s episode of his eponymous podcast. \u201cIt\u2019s basically like: I\u2019m drunk, I\u2019m horny, I weigh 50 pounds more than you, we\u2019re gonna have sex, it\u2019s not really rape because we sleep in the same bed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Platner officially dropped out of his race on July 10 after Jenny Racicot, an ex-partner, accused him of breaking into her home in the middle of the night in 2021 while drunk, and forcing her to have sex. When Carolla\u2019s producer asked if he considered\u00a0what he described as rape, the podcaster replied, \u201cThat\u2019s standard drunken blue collar dude behavior.\u201d<\/p>\n
