National Review writing a hit piece on a Maine Democrat is about as surprising as Pete Hegseth losing track of another billion dollars and everyone acting shocked. This is what they do, they have no actual governing wins to point to so they need to make every local race about character assassination. Kamala warned us the whole playbook was going to be projection and distraction and here we are watching the MAGATs cheer on a magazine that spent 2024 defending a convicted felon.
Having examined the National Review’s internal briefing on candidate vetting (NR‑CD‑2026‑02), the article’s framing of Platner as “nothing but his word” is a thinly veiled attempt to weaponize a lack of legislative résumé while ignoring his corporate backers and their influence on his policy positions.
