He called Platner out along with the rich, NYC 27 year old political strategist Morris Katz who made Platner. That shithead should be called out by all Dems. Never listen to this POS!

Platner had NOT A SINGLE APOLOGY!!!!! He blames others for "causing him to resign". He is a lying ass who has no respect for Dems, women, his constituents, etc. The entire speech was "POOR POOR ME! I AM THE VICTIM".

If you didn't like Platner before now than this speech will make you want to puke. He is a cry baby who blames everyone for his problems, choices and actions. Thank Dog he will never have a chance to be in the Senate. He is acting like the true scum that he is and always has been.
