Platner campaign strategist admits tattoo, Reddit posts should have been 'enough' to disqualify him
He was quoted as jokingly asking then-Iowa Democratic Senate hopeful Nathan Sage if he had such a tattoo as well.The New York Times published a story in June highlighting accounts from several women Platner has dated that referenced unsettling behavior. I don’t want people’s lesson from this to be that there should never be room for grace. I think that there are a lot of people who have made mistakes or said controversial things who we want to win the support of, who we need to earn the trust of.
