Woman alleges Graham Platner raped her in 2021 while they were dating, which he denies Highlight

Hunt, who heads a women’s rights advocacy group called Reckoning Action, told CNN that she is not being paid by any campaigns and is motivated only by a desire to hold predatory men to account. Hunt withdrew a previous endorsement of Platner after the Times story last month and was connected with Racicot soon afterward to offer her support.

“We are doing this because we’re committed to there being no predators in power,” she said. “And we need to ensure that the state of Maine has a chance to elect somebody who is a strong enough candidate to beat Susan Collins and who does not have a record of misogyny and violence against women.”
