Town Hall STUNNED By Populist Democrat In Viral Video
Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner gave a stunning answer to a right-wing voter at a town hall.
- 3 minutes
So what's your plan for the illegals that
are in this state that get free benefits?
They don't. They don't know.
If you listen to what she was saying.
No. No, just hear me out.
If you listen to what she was saying,
at its core, she's angry about
[00:00:15]
the exact same things you are.
People are propagandized.
People are misinformed.
But people are not stupid.
And we shouldn't treat them as such.
People are being robbed.
They're being robbed of their
of their critical thinking.
They're being robbed of their empathy.
[00:00:30]
The answer to that is not shame.
The answer to that is not anger.
The answer to that
is empathy and compassion.
We're in Platner there.
He's running for Susan Collins
Senate seat in Maine.
He's already gotten a lot of attention
thanks to his populist positions.
[00:00:47]
I want you to react to the video.
And it's not just because we're in this
conversation, but some of what he's saying
there reminds me of some of the things
that you've said right here.
Yeah.
I mean, that's why I thought
it was picture perfect.
I mean, that was as good an answer
as I have seen any candidate give, because
it doesn't alienate voters on the right,
or more importantly, the middle right.
[00:01:06]
And it doesn't blame the voters.
It tells you what the core of the problem
is perfect and very populist.
Love it.
So the good news is he's done so well,
he's raised $4 million and we can
finally win that Senate seat in Maine.
That's why here comes
Chuck Schumer to screw it up.
[00:01:22]
He's like, oh, I want somebody
to run against him in the primary.
What? He's a great candidate.
And he has all the metrics
that you care about.
Oh he raised a lot of money.
I thought you cared about money.
No, they don't care about money
as much as they care about bowing
your head to the donor class.
So they're trying to get Janet Mills,
the governor of Maine,
[00:01:40]
to run against him in the primary to make
sure that a populist doesn't get into
the Senate and actually serve the people.
Democratic leadership
has not learned a single thing.
They're like, no,
we need the establishment.
Ancient.
By the way, what is she, 77 years old?
They're like, bring it, wheel her in.
She'll do whatever the donor class wants.
[00:02:00]
I don't know if he's just afraid that,
Graham won't listen to Israel
or to any of the donors,
but it's a it's ridiculous for the
Democrats to try to hurt this candidate
that's already doing excellent in Maine.
Sharon, what do you think?
[00:02:15]
I think they can't let it creep in. Okay.
They've got to control the party,
messaging the donors, all of it.
AIPAC, perhaps,
and their commitment there.
They cannot allow this in.
It's like having a more Bernie AOC.
And suddenly this thing starts to move
in a direction that they can't control.
[00:02:35]
I love what he said there.
He snapped me back.
I occasionally get off course when I'm
watching cable news all day and can't
stomach some of the things that are being
said, but I Chuck Schumer's got to go.
Yeah. And Graham Platner agrees.
[00:02:50]
And that's why Chuck Schumer
is bent out of shape.
Hey, let's go win this seat and let's
actually serve the American people.
Enough establishment candidates.
Give me a lot more of Graham Platner.
I'd love to see it.
Every time you ring the bell below,
an angel gets his wings.
[00:03:07]
Totally not true.
But it does keep you updated
on our live shows.
