Molly Jong-Fast on Platner: ‘This Is a Maine Election ... I Don’t Even Live in Maine’

EXCERPT:

JONG-FAST: "And so then the question is — and again, look, with this story, as someone — I mean, what she says in this story is that she is — I mean, the misogyny that I found in the story was this poor woman is saying it was non-consensual, when it was obviously rape. And she couldn’t say that because she was, you know, trying to protect him to some extent. So in my mind, this is a really serious — you know, as a woman and a mother of a daughter — you know, as serious as it gets. And you see in, you know, the ways in which the culture, you know, this victim is protecting this man. So in my mind, this is, you know — but it’s not up to me because I don’t even live in Maine. It is up to the voters of Maine."
