Khanna is Basically Telling Us Platner is a SOB But He's Our SOB

 

Yesterday, California Democratic Congressman appeared at a rally in Bar Harbor with presumptive Maine Democratic Senate nominee Graham Platner amid a report in the New York Times of Platner's behavior towards ex-girlfriends including allegations of physical abuse.

In an interview with Fox News prior to the rally, Khanna addressed the report. Although Khanna acknowledged that Platner's behavior was "wrong and toxic" it did not deter his support. 

Khanna told Martha MacCallum, "The people of Maine deserve a senator who is going to stand up to the billionaire class, against genocide, and for the working class."

In other words, Khanna is telling us that Platner is a SOB, but that he is our SOB.

Of course, when Khanna uses the word "genocide" he is talking about Israel and Jews, not the plight of Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar or Uighur Muslims in China.

Platner can basically beat his wife within an inch of her life. As long as he blames Israel for the world's problems then he will have Ro Khanna's support.

That tells you a great deal both about Graham Platner and about Ro Khanna.
