Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene removes a social media post that criticized the woman who accused Maine Democratic Senate nominee Graham Platner of rape. Multiple outlets report that Greene’s deleted post targeted Jenny Racicot, 41, after Racicot told Politico that Platner sexually assaulted her five years earlier. Platner denies the allegation, according to the reporting. The deletion occurs hours after Racicot publicly described the alleged assault. The accounts describe Greene’s initial criticism as framing the accusation in political terms, but specific phrasing is not consistent across the brief summaries provided by the sources. Both outlets connect the timing of the post with the emergence of Racicot’s remarks to Politico and note that Greene ultimately deleted the post rather than leaving it online. Overall, the reports focus on Greene’s action on social media and the underlying controversy surrounding Racicot’s allegations and Platner’s denial as the Maine Senate race continues.
