Scott Jennings believes that Democrats have no choice but to continue to ride with Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner.<\/p>\n

In the face of yet another accusation, this time by a 41-year-old Maine resident claiming Platner sexually assaulted her, Democrats are fleeing for the exits<\/a>. But speaking to The Arena<\/em> host Kasie Hunt, Jennings suggests that it\u2019s not going to be so easy for the party to cut ties with the controversial candidate.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m amazed at just how breezily Democrats are out there publicly discussing subverting the will of the people of Maine. Graham Platner overwhelmingly won a primary. Ninety-eight percent of what we know about Graham Platner, we already knew,\u201d Jennings stated. \u201cThe voters knew, the Democrats knew, the activists knew, the donors knew. Everybody knew. They voted for him anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know Graham Platner hasn\u2019t dropped out of the race yet. And you have all these Democrats, and even some of the voters, \u2018Well, I guess we\u2019ll have to get somebody else.\u2019 You had a vote! This is a democracy. The Democrats voted, and now the party of democracy is apparently going to subvert the will of the people,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat you\u2019re hearing from Scott, though, is that obviously, the Republicans at this point would love to run against Graham Platner. I mean, this would be a gift. I mean, that would be a gift for them,\u201d panelist Lulu Garcia-Navarro said.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook, Lulu, it\u2019s not a gift that someone like this was allowed to make it this far in this process. But he did make it this far. And I think the Democrats sometimes- what\u2019s the old saying? You know, you made your bed. Now you got to lie in it. Well, at least the process here will dictate that Democrats ought to have to lie in this,\u201d Jennings pushed back.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just, the only other thing that I will say about, you know, this, and what\u2019s going to happen next is, you know, at this point, I think there is-, and you can see by the reaction- something that is exponentially larger. When you have a woman coming publicly and accusing someone of rape. I think that that is exponentially a much, much more serious and bigger deal. There will be arguments forever as to how Graham Platner got here and why he got here, but I don\u2019t want to diminish the importance of what his accuser said,\u201d Garcia-Navarro added.<\/p>\n

\u201cEspecially because, I mean, she did it on camera with her own face,\u201d host Hunt chimed in.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd that is something that will follow her around for the rest of her life,\u201d Garcia-Navarro agreed.<\/p>\n
