Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner cancels a scheduled appearance on MSNBC’s affiliate program MS NOW after a new scandal breaks over the weekend, according to host Eugene Daniels. Daniels says Platner pulls out of the interview as additional allegations surface. Multiple outlets report that Platner’s campaign disputes the host’s account, stating that the MS NOW information is “flat out inaccurate.” Separate reporting also describes Platner as avoiding mainstream media and canceling other interviews following the latest allegations. Separately, MSNBC reports that Platner denies the most recent claims, describing them as “simply not true.” The reports reference that several women accuse Platner of volatile behavior in connection with allegations described elsewhere, including a New York Times report, and that additional “sexting” related revelations have become part of the story. Taken together, the coverage centers on the sequence of events: new allegations emerge, Platner publicly denies them, and the planned MS NOW interview does not take place, with disagreements over why. The factual details of the underlying allegations are contested in the accounts presented by the sources.
