Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville compared supporting Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner to the United States allying with Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin during World War II.<\/p>\n

Carville praised Platner for his military service, contrasting it with other politicians, saying, “He\u2019s f—ed up, he\u2019s been shot at, he\u2019s a veteran, he\u2019s a little bit weird, he\u2019s an oysterman.”<\/p>\n

“Then his opponent, I can hardly say her name without the utter contempt dripping, Susan Collins, whose spine reminds me of a blueberry jelly from Maine,” he said. “Maybe we need a combat veteran right on that Senate floor who is f—ed up.”<\/p>\n

“If you believe, as I do, that the country is in imminent peril \u2014 I mean imminent peril \u2014 who is most likely to slow this criminal in charge? Susan \u2018Blueberry Jelly\u2019 Collins, or five degrees off dead center Graham Platner?” Carville asked. “I think it’s Graham Platner.”<\/p>\n

“And you know if Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill could work with Joseph Stalin \u2014 who, by the way, well, I’ll tell you this, he was a bad guy, a really bad guy, alright \u2014 then I can overlook a tattoo,” Carville added.<\/p>\n

Platner, the presumptive Democratic nominee in Maine\u2019s Senate race, has been\u00a0dogged by scandals<\/a>\u00a0ranging from allegedly having sent sexually explicit messages to multiple women while married to his wife Amy Gertner,\u00a0to having had a tattoo for decades that resembled the Nazi SS Totenkopf skull and crossbones insignia associated with concentration camp guards.<\/p>\n

One of his ex-girlfriends, Lyndsey Fifield, told The New York Times how Platner would poke fun at his chest tattoo and that he and other members of his military unit chose it because of parallels between them and the Nazi German SS \u2014 in that “they were a death unit… killers,” which appears to contradict his narrative that he did not know the tattoo was associated with the Nazi emblem.<\/p>\n

She also accused him of physical misconduct<\/a> that he has since disputed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“There are some allegations in this piece that I just want to be kind of unequivocal about, are simply not true. Anything alleging physicality, anything alleging that I knew what my tattoo was, these are the statements of someone who\u2019s politically motivated,” Platner told MS NOW host Chris Hayes<\/a> on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Fifield, in turn, has said that The New York Times coverage was actually too soft<\/a> on the Democratic candidate, and failed to use evidence she provided.<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t know how to tell The New York Times this, but boy puts hand on girl\u2019s t—y, girl moves hand, boy walks away rejected and despondent. It happens,” Carville said in response to the report.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“If you committed a crime, then charge him. And then throw his a– in jail. But so far, we have none of that! We got a f—ed up guy, who, he could be a hundred times more f—ed up than he is. He\u2019d never be as f—ed up as what we got in Washington now anyway,” he continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Abraham Lincoln had to suspend habeas corpus, why? Because he had to win a Godd— war, OK?” Carville added. “We got to win this.”<\/p>\n

Carville also argued that Platner’s military service would provide some perspective that would contrast with Collins, who he said voted in favor of wars as Platner actually fought in them.<\/p>\n

“Maybe they need to look at this guy before they start sending young people off to fight wars and see what the consequence of it is,” he said.<\/p>\n

“The tattoo is very troubling<\/a>,” Carville admitted, “but f—, people get drunk.”<\/p>\n
