When the Democrats defend a candidate accused of abuse and a Nazi tattoo, you’re not looking at hypocrisy anymore — you’re looking at a system that’s rotting from the inside. This episode of The Rant Network tears into the Democratic Party’s handling of the Graham Plattner scandal, exposing how “believe all women” magically disappears when the accused is on their own team. From allegations of abuse to claims of a Nazi symbol, we argue that media institutions (like the New York TImes), party leaders, and high‑profile progressives are circling the wagons instead of demanding accountability. The conversation escalates into a broader indictment of moral double standards, selective outrage, and a political culture where winning matters more than women, voters, or basic integrity. Whether you agree or not, this one forces you to confront the uncomfortable question: What happens when principles only apply to your opponents?

Hypocrisy And The Breaking Point

SPEAKER_00

I'm amazed, I'm amazed, I'm amazed, I'm amazed, I'm amazed how that sounds a man, I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man, man. Stuart, what is the definition of hypocrisy? Like, I'm I'm trying to figure this out. At what point do people wake up and see and just go, bunch of freaking hypocrites? Stuart, I just don't get it, my friend. I know you want to go off, so go, baby.

From Hypocrisy To Cover-Up

SPEAKER_01

You know, you've let me do this a lot lately. You know, it's almost too fun. But, you know, it's I'm gonna tell you the party that cried me to. The Democratic Party spent seven years telling you to believe all women until a woman started talking about their guy. Then suddenly the New York Times is doing a favor. AOC is hiding from cameras, and sitting in the United States Senate is still writing campaign checks. This is not hypocrisy. This is a full-fledged cover-up.

The Maine Candidate Allegations

SPEAKER_01

And it's happening right now in broad daylight in the state of Maine. Let me tell you about Mr. Graham Plattner, the man with the Nazi tattoo. Plattner is the Democratic running for Senate in Maine. And over the last 48 hours, multiple ex-partners have come forward with explosive allegations of abuse. And I want you to hear as clearly the Nazi tattoo allegation. Right? Now, why am I using the word allegation? Because it's allegation, because you can't see it. You know that, David, right? On a Democratic Senate candidate, right? Now, I want you to do a quick mental exercise for me. Close your eyes, David. And for one second, imagine it was Ted Cruz or any other Republican candidate. Where in America had multiple ex-partners on record saying he was abusive. And then imagine one of those ex-partners says he has a Nazi tattoo. You don't even need to finish that thought, do you? You already know what the next 72 hours would look like. CNN, MS Now, the left-wing nutcases would bring a Holocaust historian on stage. The Republican S Committee would be issuing a groveling apology for its candidate and the usual denial. There would be a documentary and pre-production by Tuesday of next week with a lot of ABC producers and CBC, CBS. But this Graham Platt, he's a Democrat. Rules for me, but not for thee.

Media Framing And Party Protection

SPEAKER_01

Here's what actually happened: The New York Times, the supposed paper of record, the self-appointed moral conscience of American journalism, ran a story on these allegations. And according to one of Platner's own accusers, the time softened it. Her words, not mine. She told Fox News in the coverage was quote, a gift to the Democrats. You know, that's frustrating. A gift. I don't know about you, but the woman who came forward to tell her story watched the most powerful newspaper in America wrap it up in a bow and hand it off to the man she was accused of. Don't you remember all these other Republican candidates that have been, you know, Donald Trump? It goes on. And the rest of the Democratic Party on this. Well, let's check. The sitting Democratic center is not staying quiet. They're actively bankrolling, Platinum's competing, writing checks after allegations were public, after the Nazi tattoo claims were out there, after his ex-partner went on the record. But they're still writing checks. The silence is the answer of the DNC. This is the same progressive movement that destroyed Brett Kavanaugh with uncorroborated allegations and zero contemporary evidence. They believe all women, David. They put a sign, they wore it on t-shirts, they made an official creed of a generation. And now they're personally funding his fucking campaign, whose ex-partners are calling it abusive and saying he has a Nazi tattoo. Believe all women, David, unless the women are talking about a Democratic party member. Then the New York Times softens the story. The senators keep writing checks, and AOC hides from the cameras. That's not a double standard. That's not a hypocrisy. That is an institutional rot. And main voters deserve to know every single name that chose the party over women. Let me drop it. Here's what every person listening to this needs to understand. This is not a story about Graham Plattner. Platinum is just the latest test. And the Democratic Party just failed it spectacularly in full public view. The test was simple. Do your principles mean anything when you accuse is on your team. And the answer from the senator writing the checks from AOC, hiding from reporters, from the editorial boards of the New York Times, the answer is no. The principles were always a weapon. They were never brief. They were never a belief. And the woman who came forward to tell the stories about Graham Platiner are now learning the hardest way possible. Maine is watching. The rest of America is watching. The primary days, someone's gotta have an answer for every single one of those checks. You know, the Democrat senators bankrolling Plattner's campaign are seen as a Nazi tattoo allegation.

Complicity And The Me Too Question

SPEAKER_01

They've seen the abuse claims. David, they're writing checks. At what point does continuing to fund the campaign make you complicit? An accessory? And should a senator face a primary challenge or censure from a vote from their own caucus? Or is a Democratic Party simply passed a point where accountability applies to its members? Listen, I'm not going to talk about the Me Too movement because fundamentally it's changed how it handles abuse allegations. At least, you know, that was the promise. But a candidate with a Nazi tattoo, multiple abuses, accusers on record, still have a senator funding his campaign. What's going on? Me too actually ends. Is Me Too just a scam? David, what do you think?

Winning Over Principles

SPEAKER_00

Stuart, you know, you know, you know what's funny is at the end of the day, what matters to the Democrats? Winnie. Winnie. We know they've cheated with dead people voting. It's it's out there. We know that it's on record. They've tried all kinds, and I'm not sitting here saying that Trump, but don't go back to 2020. That's not what I'm talking about. But there are dead people on voter lists, and the Democrats are very happy to keep them there. We have this whole voter, no, no voter ID business. That's always the Democrats. There's because how dare we, you know, illegals should be allowed to vote. Jim Crow, Jim Crow. We hear all this kind of stuff. It's all about winning, Stuart. And it's all about creating winning conditions. And it makes me ill to know that the morality police that they could they claim to be, you know, it's the hypocrisy is we're the party of the people, we're here to protect the people. But as long as we win, we don't care who we burn. Women across America should be absolutely disgusted, but not surprised by the New York Times story. Because the New York Times, as we we as we did this thing, this rant a while ago, you know, when continues to still say that Israel is guilty of having dogs raping Palestinian terror, you know, terrorists in jails. I mean, like this is the New York Times, the the degree of journalism is at zero. So why am I surprised that they softened the whole article about Glen Platner's accusers? But that's the problem. When you accuse a Democrat, even if you remember Eric Swalwell, what did it get to before he had to withdraw from the campaign? But if, like you said, if it was a Republican, it would be like front page news. But Graham Platner is a disaster. But here's the mindset story of the party of the left. Here's the mindset of the of the of the Democratic Party, here's the mindset of people who can't think past their nose. On

Hold Your Nose Voting

SPEAKER_00

the view, Sonny Hoston said this week, quote, yesterday I was sort of on the fence. I'm like, quote, character morale matters, morales matter. I can't believe that this is the person made to take on Susan Collins. I'm now convinced that we are really in a bad place in this country. This is her belief. Democrats have to take over the Senate, they have to take over the House, they have to bring, as she says, some semblance of normalcy back to this government. Right. Because spending money on on DEI in some foreign country, that makes a lot of sense. You stupid crack. Yeah, yeah. This is the quote. This is the quote that I had to, I'm I'm warming you up. She goes, quote, if I lived in Maine, I would hold my nose and I would pull that lever and vote for him. That's it. She's ready to vote for a woman abuser, a Nazi symbol, you know, where just to win. Morality does not matter. Character does not matter. You can't speak from both ends of your ass, Ms. Hoston. You can't go out and say, on one hand, I'm a morality person, but on the other hand, just so I can defeat the Democrats, the Republicans, and Donald Trump, I will vote for someone like Graham Plattner. We know where Bernie Sanders lies with this. Bernie is talking about beating up oligarchs. And he doesn't care who he sides with. Bernie has the least morals out there. He pretends to be a moral, the morality guy by flying on private planes, but telling you we need to worry about the environment, that we need to tax the rich, but he's making millions of dollars. It's okay. This is the party you're supporting. When AOC cries it at the fence back in term one for Donald Trump about incarcerating children by ICE and whatever, but under Obama and under Biden, shh quiet. Nothing. This is the morality. I don't understand. This is hypocrisy. And the Democrats continue to attract these more further extremist candidates to try to win the House, to try to win the Senate. And at the end of the day, Stewart, the United States of America is in big trouble if it doesn't look in the mirror and go, This is who we want representing

What Voters Reward At The Ballot

SPEAKER_00

us. You screamed and yelled a year and a half ago when Elon Musk supposedly put his arm up and made the Nazis salute. You lost your minds that Donald Trump has attracted Nazis. You called him a Nazi and a white supremacist. They still do. But when it's on your team, suddenly it's like ah, he didn't know it was a Nazi symbol. We listen, we know he's tough on women. This is who you're voting for. This is when you go to the ballot box, and we're talking about it now because all of these primaries and all of these pre-you know November election, you know, elections, you gotta wake up. I don't care. Listen, you want to be a Democrat for life, go ahead. But are these the people you want representing you? People with these kind of views. If that's what you want, and the entire fabric of the United States is done for, you are going down a rabbit hole, you'll never get out of it. You want to be the next Venezuela where inflation is through the roof and people are leaving? Okay, you want to be the next Argentina that went into triple-digit inflation? Okay. You want to be a third world country? Okay. Where women no longer have rights? I mean, where is the line? I don't understand the morality anymore of the Democratic Party. And Akeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer, you know, Chuck Schumer, you're a piece of garbage. On one hand, you stand up and at the Israel Day parade in New York City and you say, I stand with Israel, but in the Senate, when it comes to being a Democrat, you become a Democrat first, where your morales are off. They're no longer there. You could hate the Republican Party all you want, but there's one consistent thing that you you're gonna find with the party. Look at you could say all you want. I've heard the accusations of DEI and racism and the attacks on the LGBTQ community. Okay, but can you name one candidate right now that is sitting there and saying, I don't care if that person beats up women or is walking around with Nazi symbols? Can you find me one Republican candidate like that? Who wants to incarcerate Jews in ICE facilities? You don't. They're gone. They went to the Democrats, Dort. That's the problem.

SPEAKER_01

Well, they did more than just say they stand with Israel and that the Republicans will always stand with Israel, where the Democrats then have to say we can't stand with Israel.

Israel, Antisemitism, And Nazi Labels

SPEAKER_01

You know, Israel is the only democratic country in the Middle East. It's the only place where men, women, straight or not, can have a free and live as they want of just about any religion that they want. You know, where two million Arabs live peacefully with seven million Jews. I mean, where Arabs and Druze work in hospitals, are members of government, where women and children aren't stoned and beaten for the way they dress. Now, I'm sure, I'm sure there's someone, and one of these wonderful people that have been populating our chat is gonna say some obnoxious thing. Those are Zionists, they all deserve to rot. Zionists and Jews go hand in hand, and wearing a Nazi symbol isn't wearing a Republican badge, it's wearing a Democrat page. It's the Democrats calling their opponents Nazis when they themselves are the Nazi Party of America. And David, I want to leave you with something, and and I'll let you close it up tonight. Plattner is a member of the Democratic Party, which should be renamed as the Nazi Party of America, because that's what they are. Little Debbie Wasserman, little AOC, Bernie Sanders, a hypocrite, old fuck. They bitched about Trump, about his acuity, but they were silent over Biden. The hyena vice president was the most accomplished woman in politics, but she's a hyena and a buffoon. The Republicans have their problems, David. They are devout in religion more than I'd say a lot would like, which drives them to this Nazi party. I don't know. Rules for me, not for thee. I did that, David, for some fucking years. And you used to make fun of me when I used to say it.

SPEAKER_00

No, no, no, I got you. No, no, no, no, no, no. Go go find me, find me a recording. Here's here's the thing, Stuart. You

A Warning About Party Loyalty

SPEAKER_00

know, there's an old adage first for me, not for thee. No. First they came for the Jews, no one said anything. Then they came for another minority, and then they said nothing. And they came for another minority and they said nothing. And then they came for me, and there was nobody left to protect me. This is what's gonna happen with the Democratic Party, Stuart. The Democratic Party is systemically abandoning its own base. And if people would wake up and stop at the monikers and hearing that as soon as you hear the word Republican, you hear, or you know, you're like, oh no, you can't, you can't, you can't, you can't, because historically my family voted Democrats. I can't you know deer from that. And there's a huge percentage, approximately 40% of the American population, I believe the number was, is independent and is not beholden to a party, but is watching the choice of your candidates and the morality behind these individuals, and to sit there and to say we don't care about women. 51% of America is a is female, and you're saying to that population, we don't care what happens to you, because we need to win, or we're gonna put in Graham Platinum. If you're gonna have that philosophy, then you deserve to lose. Stop rubbing your hands today and saying we're gonna take home the we're gonna take back the Senate and the House because Donald Trump is getting is gonna lose because of inflation, because of price of gas, because of all these things. Yeah, that might have an impact on his party. And you could see based on the vote, Stuart, that happened this week with the Republicans, that some of them are voting with their own conscience at mind, you know, they're not their conscience, they're voting, you know, necessity in mind. It doesn't matter what Trump does, okay? And that, by the way, ladies and gentlemen, shows thought as opposed to the Democrats who you have to vote all together or you're or not. So, where is the morality of the party that continues to lie to you?

Viewer Comments And Closing

SPEAKER_00

Go to their website. What does it tell you? You are not important. Winning is, and they don't care who they trapped all over, they don't care the noise that they make, they only care about winning and lying to you to win. So when these people, and by the way, all you naysayers and haters who are gonna put your comments in here, please do because it shows us where your morality is. And I want people to and then please put in here saying I am a democratic supporter, I vote Democrat, and this is what I think of women, and this is what I think of Jews. Please put it in our chats that will that's exactly what the Democratic Party is all about.

SPEAKER_01

You know, I reached out to a very good friend of mine, and and to get a hold of Kevin O'Leary, who's also very uh who's a friend, to get his white papers. You know, all these messages where we're getting into our chats, David. Yep. You know, I'm willing to bet that a lot of them are all tied to these organizations being funded. Of course they are, and the Dems are loving it. Come on, let's get real. Wrap it up, my friend. It's wrapped in a bow. Say goodbye, David, and give the whole cliche. All right, folks, listen. Simple.
