Democrats constantly tell us they are the guardians of morality.

The protectors of women.

The defenders against racism.

The watchdogs against anti-Semitism.

The sentinels of decency.

Fine.

Then here comes a man accused of being racist, anti-Semitic, womanizing, predatory, and every other thing Democrats tell us should permanently disqualify someone from public life.

This should have been easy.

This should have taken three seconds.

Question:

"Do you condemn him?"

Answer:

"Yes."

Done.

Interview over.

Go get coffee.

But that's not what happened.

Instead we got Olympic-level gymnastics.

All they needed to do is denounce a racist, anti-Semite, womanizing, pedophile Nazi.

AND THEY COULDN’T DO IT.

[X] SB – Elizabeth Warren pressed on Graham Platner

“Maine can evaluate Platner not for who he was, but for who he is today.”

See if you recognize the common theme here…

[X] SB – Schiff dodges Platner question (46s)

“Ultimately it will be up to the citizens of Maine to decide how important those issues are”

[X] SB – CO gubernatorial candidate asked about Platner

He spoke with Kaitlan Collins on meeting the standard, and was asked about Platner. He refused to comment, and pivoted saying, “I’m busy running for the governor of CO”.

Standard of public behavior.

These are the same people who can identify a microaggression from orbit.

The same people who can detect an offensive tweet from 2009 buried beneath seventeen deleted accounts and three hard drives.

Yet somehow they can't form an opinion on this.

It's remarkable.

And this matters, because Platner isn't just a person.

He's a test.

A stress test.
