Racicot told us: “I’m watching some people on the left do what they accuse the right of doing, by turning a blind eye to bad behavior by politicians because they support their policies."
"I have seen many people around me who loudly supported the ‘believe women’ movement now having to ignore and make excuses for Graham’s behavior.”

Everybody's focused on Lyndsey Fifield's experiences with Platner because she's a Republican. But here's what Jenny Racicot, a lifelong Democrat who dated Platner and spoke to the NYT about an "unsettling" experience she had with him years ago, has to say about him.
Speaking with @TheFP, Racicot explained that she is a supporter of Platner’s policies—but not who he is as a person.
“I had good memories with him, but also, there’s a side of him that I had an experience with that caused me to cut off all contact and to not support him as a person,” she said. “It was eating me alive to see somebody that I know to be one way publicly portray themselves a different way.” W/@FrannieBlock:

The day after the NYT story dropped, Platner’s campaign reported a single-day fundraising haul of $200,000
“What kind of person says, ‘I’m going to donate to a candidate because he’s facing accusations of violence, like that’s my guy that I want to stand behind?’ ” Lyndsey Fifield told @TheFP.

Women from Graham Platner's past came forward with disturbing allegations.
So why are they the ones under attack?

In 2024, I exposed how Qatar Foundation International, an education nonprofit run the Emir of Qatar's wife, was funding classroom activity in NYC's public schools. One of their classrooms in Brooklyn hung a map of the Middle East — which completely erased Israel.

Well this interesting.
Qatar Foundation International "to wind down operations." Existing programs will "conclude" or "evolve" under the control of "local institutions."

And @FPJaySolomon and I reported on how Qatari entities quickly hired the US's Ambassador to Qatar under Joe Biden — just a few months after leaving his post.

QFI shutting down after nearly 2 decades is a sign that the Qataris are finally feeling the pressure after months of scrutiny over why they are spending so much on America.
It's worth questioning how any foreign government can so easily gain access to American public education without detection for so long.
