Dem Senate Candidate Graham Platner Once Delighted in Clip of Purple Heart Veteran Being Shot and Almost Killed

In a resurfaced social media post, Maine U.S. Senate Democratic candidate Graham Platner appeared to mock an American Army soldier who got shot while fighting in Afghanistan.

In his since-deleted Reddit account, Platner wrote in 2019, “This video never gets old,” referring to a viral footage taken by PFC Ted Daniels’s helmet cam during a clash with Taliban fighters in 2012, Fox News reported.

“Dumb motherf***er didn’t deserve to live. At least his stupidity and fat a** wheezing are available for all future infantrymen to witness and hold in contempt. Poor marksmanship on the Taliban’s part is the only reason this mouthbreather made it home, he managed to make every possible s*** decision possible when it comes to small unit combat,” wrote Platner, who is a U.S. Marine Corps and Army veteran, who served three tours in Iraq and one in Afghanistan.
