He says he became accustomed to &#8220;crude humor&#8221; and &#8220;offensive language&#8221; while serving as an infantryman.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019m sorry for this.

Nobody really gives a s&#8211;t about things until it&#8217;s well spoken white kids getting hurt.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On multiple occasions, Platner used his Reddit account to express support for Marxism, which could be problematic in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/new-democrat-party-senate-gop-sounds-off-extreme-graham-platner-senate-race-maine-heats-up\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">moderate state such as Maine<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I got older and became a communist,&#8221; he posted in November 2021 on an anti-work subreddit.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/fetterman-calls-absolute-socialist-seattle-mayor-katie-wilson-avowed-communist-graham-platner\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>FETTERMAN CALLS OUT &#8216;ABSOLUTE SOCIALIST&#8217; SEATTLE MAYOR AND &#8216;AVOWED COMMUNIST&#8217; GRAHAM PLATNER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As recently as April 2020, Platner claimed on Reddit that he was a member of his local chapter of the Socialist Rifle Association (SRA) \u2014 a left-wing answer to the NRA that provides firearms training and education. He made over 100 posts to socialist subreddits between 2018 and 2021.<\/p>\n<p>In one such post, Platner described himself as a &#8220;vegetable-growing, psychedelics-taking socialist.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not a communist. I&#8217;m not a socialist. I own a small business. I am a Marine Corps veteran,&#8221;\u00a0 Platner told CNN when the posts first resurfaced as he continues to distance himself from the labels he previously embraced.<\/p>\n<p>In September 2013, Platner <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/left-wing-dem-senate-hopeful-cheered-antifa-violence-unearthed-rant-kill-motherf-er\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">expressed his support<\/a> for using deadly violence against political opponents.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There are times in this world when, for the good of tolerance and humanity, you need to kill a motherf&#8212;er,&#8221; Platner wrote. &#8220;Sadly most people who are true believers in tolerance and humanity find that activity repulsive. Which I suppose is morally good, but pragmatically a shortfall.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/bernie-sanders-defends-maine-senate-candidate-under-fire-reddit-comments\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>BERNIE SANDERS DEFENDS MAINE SENATE CANDIDATE UNDER FIRE FOR REDDIT COMMENTS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Platner was responding to a post cheering on thousands of anti-fascist protestors attacking the offices of a far-right ultra-nationalist political party in Greece.<\/p>\n<p>Describing his left-wing drift following his discharge from the armed forces, Platner stated: &#8220;Still got the guns though, I don\u2019t trust the fascists to act politely.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Platner has described Republican politicians as fascists.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Platner also expressed views about animals that some may find unsettling.<\/p>\n<p>On a subreddit dedicated to sharing cute pictures of animals, one user posted a picture of her cat who &#8220;had to have surgery to keep her ribs from crushing her heart.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Why not just get a less f&#8212;ed up cat?&#8221; Platner responded.<\/p>\n<p>When a user on another subreddit asked for advice on how to humanely kill mice, Platner said that he &#8220;drop[s] a 53 lbs kettlebell on their little heads.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ends it right quick,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/unearthed-posts-show-dem-senate-hopeful-praising-vulgar-graffiti-making-crude-porta-potty-admissions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>UNEARTHED POSTS SHOW DEM SENATE HOPEFUL PRAISING VULGAR GRAFFITI, MAKING CRUDE PORTA-POTTY ADMISSION<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In arguing in favor of cooking lobsters alive, Platner accused those living far from nature of treating animals too much like humans.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;People who aren\u2019t close to nature tend to anthropomorphize the hell out of everything,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>In 2019, Platner reacted to a video of an American soldier being shot by the Taliban by stating that the &#8220;dumb motherf&#8212;er didn&#8217;t deserve to live.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Platner was criticizing the soldier\u2019s tactical approach to dealing with oncoming fire.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This video never gets old,&#8221; he wrote under the &#8220;P]Hustle&#8221; username. &#8220;Dumb motherf&#8211;ker didn&#8217;t deserve to live.
