Ro Khanna Says He Condemns Graham Platner’s Abusive Past with Women and ‘He’s Had Redemption’

EXCERPT:

KHANNA: "Well, I do believe those women, and I have said that his past conduct was shameful and I totally condemned it. He did two, three tours of duty in Iraq. He came back with PTSD. That’s not an excuse, but he said that he had a problem with alcohol, he had an ugly period in his life, and he believes that he has transformed and he’s had redemption. And the voters of Maine had a choice and they voted for him by 72%. At this point, almost the entire Democratic Party is supporting him and it’s for the voters to decide whether they believe his transformation is sincere. I believe that they will make that determination, but I do believe that people have to extend grace to folks who own up to past mistakes and say that they have transformed and that they are better."
