"Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner disavowed since-deleted posts he made on Reddit years ago in which he called police officers “bastards,” described himself as a “communist” and insulted some Reddit users as “retarded,” telling CNN “that was very much me f‑‑‑ing around the internet.”
“I don’t want people to see me for who I was in my worst internet comment — or even frankly who I was in my best internet comment … I don’t think any of that is indicative of who I am today, really,” Platner, an oyster farmer and military veteran, told CNN’s KFile in an interview published Thursday."
