Janet Mills releases attack ad highlighting Graham Platner's past Reddit comments about rape victims

Maine Governor Janet Mills released a 30-second attack ad on Tuesday targeting her Democratic primary opponent Graham Platner over his 2013 Reddit comments about rape victims. The ad features women calling Platner's comments 'disgusting' and 'disqualifying,' and also shows footage of Platner with what appears to be an SS skull tattoo. Platner responded by reiterating previous apologies for his past internet comments.
