Graham Platner once mocked teen’s suicide attempt in Reddit posts

News RoomBy News RoomJune 13, 20261 ViewsNo Comments

Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner appeared to cruelly mock a teen’s suicide attempt in a newly resurfaced Reddit post.

The May 2012 Reddit thread begins with a photo of a teenage girl hanging out of an upper-story window, with a young man gripping her arms in an apparent attempt to save her, screenshots of the post showed.

“A girl at my old highschool [sic] tried jumping from a window because her cousin died the day before,” the post’s caption read. These students saved her. I have hope.”

An account belonging to the Nazi-tattoo sporting Maine Senate candidate wasn’t sympathetic.

“Someone clearly isn’t trying hard enough,” a commenter using the name P-Hustle — Platner’s screen name on the platform — wrote in response.

In another newly-unearthed Reddit post, Platner — who had an account on the messaging app Kik which featured a half-naked photo of himself — joked about expressing his gratitude for porn stars in military fashion.

“Thank you for your cervix,” he posted in 2021 in response to a user who said that adult entertainers should be thanked for their service like veterans.

“Graham Platner is clearly a person with deep and disturbing psychological issues that predate his military service and continue to this day,” Maine State House Minority Leader Billy Bob Faulkingham told The Post.

It’s not the first time Platner, 41, has faced scrutiny for his past Reddit posts.

He previously boasted of masturbating in porta-potties, praised Hamas and said a Purple Heart recipient “didn’t deserve to live.”

“I still have to jerk off every time I sit in a portashi–er….that blue water smell conditioned me,” the Democrat posted in 2017.

In response to a video posted in 2014 on the Subreddit r/combatfootage showing Hamas terrorists shooting at Israeli soldiers and attempting to kidnap one as he screams for his life, Platner, using the same P-hustle acronym, wrote, “Looks like an all around well executed and successful small unit raid to me.”

He ruthlessly attacked Purple Heart recipient Pfc. Ted Daniels on a thread commenting on famous 2012 helmet cam footage of the U.S. soldier being attacked by Taliban terrorists, in a skirmish that resulted him being shot four times.

“Dumb motherf–ker didn’t deserve to live. At least his stupidity and fat a– wheezing are available for all future infantrymen to witness and hold in contempt,” Platner wrote in the thread in 2019.

Platner’s campaign has been rife with controversy stemming from his Totenkopf SS tattoo and his alleged mistreatment of women.

He has denied knowing that the tattoo was the symbol of Hitler’s paramilitary unit responsible for the Holocaust and said he only found out its significance in October 2025 while mounting his Senate bid.

An ex-girlfriend came forward with allegations Thursday that he knew what the tattoo meant well before then, but said he kept it to remind himself “the US was the evil bad guy overseas.” 

Former girlfriend Lyndsey Fifield also accused Platner of being physical in their relationship, including grabbing her so hard he would leave marks and once allegedly twisting her arm behind her back.

Platner, who has previously denied the Fifield allegations, did not return The Post’s request for comment for this story.
