Republicans celebrating Graham Platner’s decision this week to withdraw from his senatorial campaign in Maine were subjected to rebuke from Democrats who accused them of hypocrisy.<\/p>\n

Conservatives such as Sen. Ted Cruz were quick to criticize the Democratic Party for pushing a candidate accused of endangering women. In the Texas lawmaker’s case, he shared a post comparing their replacement search to Clarice Starling’s entrance into Hannibal Lecter’s lair in the film “Silence of the Lambs.”<\/p>\n

Such responses did not sit well with Neera Tandren, a former Biden administration official. <\/p>\n

“The absolute worst people are the Republicans who attack Dems on Platner while they cheer a President who has been credibly accused of assault by 13 women,” she wrote. “That hypocrisy is off the damn charts.”<\/p>\n

Novelist Joyce Carol Oates argued Wednesday night that if Republicans were so concerned by Platner, they might follow up with some action. <\/p>\n

“Platner can lead the way,” wrote Oates. “Sex offenders, adjudicated rapists (i.e., T***p), child molesters & traffickers & who knows whom & how many others in the reeking Epstein files should be exposed & banished from public office.”<\/p>\n

Fox News’ Democrat-in-residence Jessica Tarlov echoed Oates’ sentiments. <\/p>\n

“Platner is out\u2014good,” said Fox News’ Democrat-in-residence Jessica Tarlov. “It should\u2019ve happened sooner. I want to underscore that Republicans don\u2019t get to take a moral victory lap here. They\u2019re still the party of Trump.”<\/p>\n

Author and political commentator John Daly took umbrage with Republicans grumbling about a candidate chosen in a Democratic primary.<\/p>\n

“If you rationalized or overlooked a president trying to overturn a national election to stay in power, I can’t take you seriously when you complain about a state party replacing its primary with a convention,” he wrote. <\/p>\n

Political consultant Micah Erfan raised a figurative eyebrow at Trump’s personal response to the news, questioning the legitimacy of the claims against Platner. <\/p>\n

“Trump now likes Graham Platner more after hearing about the rape allegations against him,” he wrote. “You can\u2019t make this up.” <\/p>\n
