Khanna condemns Platner's past actions, but "they didn't come as a surprise" to Maine voters

Main Idea: Ro Khanna condemned Graham Platner’s past conduct toward women but said Maine voters were already aware of it and were still willing to support his Senate run.

Key Points:

• Khanna said Platner’s actions were “misogynistic,” “shameful,” and wrong, but not a shock to many Maine voters.
• He said voters he met were focused on Platner’s campaign and were willing to give him “grace and redemption.”
• Khanna said he believed the woman who accused Platner of abusive behavior in the past and said her political views did not matter.
• He said he would drop support if there were proof of violence or sexual assault, but he saw the reported conduct as a red line only if it crossed into physical harm.
