Democrats are in the hot seat as a new report reveals organizations conveniently pulled ad money from Graham Platner’s disastrous Senate bid.

A Fox News report revealed a coincidental shift in planned ad money just days before yet another sexual abuse allegation rocked Platner’s campaign. It came at a time when, at least publicly, the party was still backing the controversial candidate despite a number of previous scandals.

“WinSenate removed more than $6.2 million in Maine Senate ad reservations, including $5.9 million in broadcast reservations from July 7 through Aug. 31 and $330,000 in cable reservations that had been set to begin June 30, AdImpact, a leading ad-tracking and analytics firm that monitors political advertising, reported July 2. AdImpact also said a separate $240,000 in digital spending shifted from Majority Forward,” the outlet noted.

Majority Forward denied that recent “campaign turmoil” had any part to play in the moving of ad funds, according to a statement to Fox News Digital.

“Majority Forward moved its (c)4 spending to another entity, a fairly common practice with issue advocacy campaigns. This change was not connected to recent campaign events,” a spokeswoman explained.

Both organizations are “closely tied to the Democratic Senate campaign apparatus,” Fox reported, adding that both are “affiliated with Senate Majority PAC, a wealthy political committee run by allies of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.”

The timing of the money pull has stirred up a lot of buzz on X:

Whether you liked Platner or not—to not see what is happening requires you to do a lot of mental gymnastics and wear blindfold. https://t.co/rV6rVl5pGp

I keep saying they knew about this shit and im sure there were more. Dems love dirt on everyone. Like they didn’t know about Swalwell. Dem voters either dont care, are stupid, or some combo. https://t.co/6myGWyLd9W

This was whispered for at least a month. Zero chance it took Schumer et al by surprise. The cynic in me says they coordinated the release when they did so it wouldn’t hit in September/October when they would be saddled with him https://t.co/Wizsqo3GV9

I think that most of us that pay attention knew that D’s were going to force him out months ago.

I didn’t know what the story would be, but I knew it was coming.
