U.S. Senate hopeful Graham Platner today denied some of the allegations made by former girlfriends in a New York Times story this week, including one charge that he engaged in physically threatening behavior.
"No, that's just not true," Platner said, speaking with Maine Public's Steve Mistler in Hancock this morning about the allegations and whether he fears they may impede the momentum of his campaign.
The latest allegations come from Lindsay Fifield, a Virginia conservative who has worked for right-leaning groups in Republican campaigns. Fifield also asserted that Platner knew long ago that his controversial tattoo was associated with Nazi iconography, a claim that first surfaced in the publication Jewish Insider last fall. Platner says that's not true.
