The New York Times Knew All About Graham Platner's Rape Allegation But Deliberately Buried It
Update: North American Man-Boy Lincoln Association Grifter Rick Wilson Weighs In

They also buried the allegations of non-rape abuse by Lyndsey Fifield -- and she says she gave them the names of five friends who would corroborate the story (at least as far as her telling the same story contemporaneously).

Two of those friends, she told them, didn't know about the abuse, but could corroborate the dates of their relationship. The other three could corroborate the abuse.

The New York Times chose to only contact the two friends Fifield expressly told them could not corroborate the abuse. They didn't contact the three who could corroborate the abuse, deliberately.

Then they Times wrote that they contacted two friends "who could not corroborate" Fifield's claims of abuse.

Lyndsey Fifield
@lyndseyfifield
I actually understand why Democrat leaders didn't take our stories seriously when the Times reported them in June but are taking them seriously now.
It was by design.
The line most shared from the piece was the claim that the Times "could not corroborate" my story despite talking to two of my friends.
I gave them the contact information for five friends.
They called the two who I clarified would not know about the abuse but would be able to affirm our relationship timeline, events, etc.
They simply did not call the other three.

She also gave the NYT the names of people who could corroborate Platner "stalking" her, and apparently stalking her so menacingly she wrote to her landlord to tell him she was immediately terminating her lease to find a new place to live.

The NYT refused to contact these witnesses, too.

I also gave them the names of all my former roommates who remembered him stalking our row house (which was about 5 houses down from his) and waiting for me to return. I gave them screenshots of messages between these roommates and I discussing it.
I gave them the names of other men I dated who might have remembered him following us around the hill and showing up on my stoop after we walked home from dates to confront us. I gave them emails to my landlord urgently ending my lease and moving to an apartment across town and diary entries talking about it - all time marked.
I told them that during pre-marital counseling I had spoken to my ex-fiance about the abuse because I had to explain to him why I reacted with such terror any time he lost his temper. They said oh NO we don't need to bother HIM (or my priest). Besides, I had written about it in my diary in detail, they reassured.
As the weeks dragged on I stopped trying to give them evidence because the amount I had already given them seemed to overwhelm them and I thought it meant they clearly had more than enough to verify my every claim.
My friends might not have known the details of the abuse, but they affirmed that yes, I had told them that he was abusive--long before he ran for Senate.
Besides, they assured, my part in their reporting would be small. I thought my details would only serve to affirm Jenny and the other anonymous woman.
Jenny and I - having never met or spoken - both shared with these reporters terrifyingly similar details of intimate partner violence, coercive control, and cycles of abuse/love bombing. The third unnamed woman in the story did as well.
But tell me again how they "could not corroborate."

The New York Times did NOT report these allegations of stalking at all, and instead portrayed the relationship as "emotionally volatile" on both ends.

And there's a reason for that -- women hate three things men do: rape, physical abuse, and stalking. (The Times did admit Fifield's claims of physical abuse but, as noted earlier, refused to contact the friends who could corroborate those claims.)

David Strom writes about this and notes that while the New York Times spoke to Jenny Racicot -- the woman accusing Platner of actual rape -- and she told the Times about the rape, the Times refused to publish it at all, or even hint at it.

The Times engaged in the journalistic practice called "Catch and Kill," in which a news outlet rushes to get ahead of a story that damages one of their favorites by getting the story and either completely burying it, or doing a "modified limited hangout," in which the allegations are addressed, but in such a way as to make them less damaging or even non-credible.
The Times had been informed of the rape, but because it was shared off the record, they only described the concerns of his victim, Jenny Racicot, in the vaguest possible terms that implied that Platner's behavior was merely ungentlemanly. Here's the one paragraph they printed referring to what they KNEW was a rape:

Jenny Racicot, 41, a Maine Democrat, who said she dated him casually off and on between 2019 and 2021, said the posts deepened her belief that he did not respect women. "When I saw the old comments that he made online," she said, "I recognized a version of him that I had experiences with."
Racicot had told them, off the record, that he had sexually assaulted her. They buried it, implied his on-the-record accuser was a political operative slandering him, and gave permission to all Platner's boosters to dismiss her story as a political hit job.

I take Strom's point but there is a wrinkle here: Racicot told the Times about the rape but she refused to make that allegation under her own name. That is, while she's quoted in the story accusing Platner of unspecified past behavior, she didn't want them to use her name in connection with the rape allegation.

So, one might say, the Times used good judgment to not report a claimed rape when the actual victim (or alleged victim) refuses to clearly accuse Platner of rape.

You could say that, except for the fact that the New York Times published completely-anonymous allegations of sexual assault against Bret Kavanaugh.

Google AI's overview of the first anonymous allegations of sexual assault against Bret Kavanaugh:

The New York Times detailed an anonymous accusation of sexual misconduct against Justice Brett Kavanaugh in September 2019. Originally reported by reporters Robin Pogrebin and Kate Kelly, the allegation involved a male classmate who witnessed Kavanaugh with his pants down at a Yale University freshman party, where friends allegedly pushed his hand onto a female student.
The female student involved did not speak to The New York Times. The classmate who reported the incident stated he brought it to the attention of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and senators during Kavanaugh's confirmation process, but it was not investigated.
The publication faced criticism and scrutiny over its handling of the story, primarily because the article's editors omitted a crucial detail from the initial essay: the female student in question told friends she did not remember the incident. This omission prompted the New York Times to add an editor's note clarifying that the victim did not recall the event, and it renewed broader public debates about media reporting practices during the Supreme Court confirmation process.

So anonymous claims of sexual assault are fair game for reporting, even when the woman allegedly victimized denies the incident ever took place.

And of course the New York Times pushed Chrissy Blowsy Ford's allegations when she was still anonymous, with her "beach friends" pushing the story to media allies.

The entire leftwing propaganda media did.

Here's the New York Times pushing the story as relayed by beach friends, when Blowsy-Ford was still refusing to comment.

Letter Claims Attempted Assault by a Teenage Brett Kavanaugh
By Nicholas Fandos and Michael S. Schmidt
Sept. 14, 2018
WASHINGTON -- A secretive letter shared with senators and federal investigators by the senior Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee charges that a teenage Brett M. Kavanaugh and a male friend trapped a teenage girl in a bedroom during a party and tried to assault her, according to three people familiar with the contents of the letter.
The letter says that Mr. Kavanaugh, then a student at Georgetown Preparatory School in suburban Washington and now President Trump's Supreme Court nominee, had been drinking at a social gathering when he and the male friend took the teenage girl into a bedroom. The door was locked, and she was thrown onto the bed. Mr. Kavanaugh then got on top of the teenager and put a hand over her mouth, as the music was turned up, according to the account.
But the young woman was able to extricate herself and leave the room before anything else occurred, the letter says.
The woman says she considered the episode an assault. She has declined to be publicly identified, and she asked Senator Dianne Feinstein of California, the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, not to publicize the letter.

So the media can and often does report anonymous sexual assault allegations -- but only against Republicans.

Democrats, who claim to #BelieveAllWomen, are protected against such lying whores who lie.

Below: Jodi Kantor, who works at the New York Times and therefore would know all about the rape allegation, spun for Platner a month ago claiming the only charges against Platner concerned him being "a bad boyfriend."

Note the attempt by the NY Times's Jodi Kantor to soft-peddle the accusations that had been made against Platner. Remember: the NY Times had been told about the rape allegation that Politico reported today. https://t.co/5fLNoVO11S

Breitbart compiles a list of all the Democrats who supported, promoted, and defended this tinywanged Nazi rapist.

Update:

I was one of those friends. The Times never contacted me. Other reporters now have. I�m not hard to get ahold of, by the way. https://t.co/yTISqotQA0

They also leveraged Racicot�s then off-the-record story to get Lyndsey to go on the record, intimating to her she�d be the least of the accusations in the article and then hung her out to dry. Not only is Jenny great for speaking, but her move may discourage that kind of� https://t.co/iG7cBJ6s2m

I thought all his (lying) accusers were named. It was primarily that batshit fuckhead squeaky-voiced lunatic identified in the letter. I mercifully forgot her name.

Then there was the other mentally-ill harpy who talked with her lawyers for a week before finally realizing that the dick that some guy whipped out in front of her at a drunk college party was Kav's.

There may have been a 3rd harpy, but IIRC all of the accusers were named -- which was a godsend to Kav as he was able to expose them as deranged politically-motivated lunatics.

Although, I have to say, knowing what I know about wild drunken college parties, the odds that a teenage Kav did whip out his dick are ... well above zero.

Eh, a lot of this is usually... codependency. Maybe that's not the right word. They feed off each other that's destructive to both.

Remember the line from Ghost and the Darkness where Michael Douglass is describing the two bullies. 'Either one on his own was manageable, but together? Together they were Hell on wheels.'

Two people often are fairly stable- except when they get together- then they are toxic as fuck. To each other. To everyone around them. Like Mutually assured destruction.

I had a low level internet stalker in college. I somehow caught her attention on some gaming message board. She got my real address, my school email address, knew my name, my dad's name, my dad's workplace, etc. Thankfully after a couple of months she suddenly lost interest, but it freaked me out.

I imagine having a stalker who was genuinely part of your life, even welcome in your bed, suddenly turning psycho and having all that information and leverage to hurt you.

Yea, and her house was 5 doors down from his. Is this creep capable of stalking someone? Sure. Did he stalk this women? I have my doubts.

Did she go to the police? No. Did she try to get a restraining order? Did she do anything that a genuinely scared and traumatized woman would do? It doesn't appear so.

Don't get me wrong: I'm not defending the Nazi. I'm saying that I continue to believe this is all an op. Just like with Fartswell. Remember him? It was wall-to-wall allegations and threats of prosecution. Then he dropped out and ... the stories instantly disappeared.

If you want to believe polling, Collins is polling better now than she was in 2020 when she ended up winning by 8.

Maine is 40% registered independent.

A large slice of the Democrat leaning batch will simply not vote in the Senate race now because of this whole kerfuffle. Besides, Collins brings home the bacon.

Collins wins by 20, at least.

She won in 2014 by 40.

On top of having the right politics and being a boarding school reliable communist and having skeletons they could use to control him, I think they liked that he could sort of be called manly.

The Democrats know they have a manliness problem. Tampon Tim actually tried to claim he fit the bill, though most men looked at him and saw a possible homosexual. Platner doesn't strike me as a homosexual. I wouldn't call him manly, but I could see how some people might.

It is a very weird bit of human psychology when you think about it.

1) Person is madly in love with a version of the person they have in their head.
2) They pursue this person because they believe they are MFEO.
3) ???
4) When the person rejects them, their entire world comes crashing down and then they do something really stupid. It is weird in that the entire point should be that you should be happy together, so why does it turn to destruction? Makes no sense unless you are starting from a different standpoint of them making YOU happy. That's probably it.

DON'T believe the shit in your head is real.

145 From Alex Berenson's Unreported Truths substack, which just landed in my in box:
-------------------
To say the least, this is a terrible look for the Times. The paper’s reporters failed to do the work necessary to find out Fyfield’s allegations were credible — and then smeared her in print. You can judge for yourself if they would have done the same if Fyfield was a Democrat and Platner a Republican.

In the paleolithic days when I was a reporter for the paper, this level of journalistic malfeasance would have led, at a minimum, to a serious internal investigation, with the findings publicly released.

Let’s hope the same standards hold now.

I’m not optimistic.

Jokes aside, every media outlet in Maine is owned by a non-profit progressive org (who claim to be objective), and they use the NYT's as an outide source in their Maine local newspapers, news broadcasts etc. That's why the NYT's kept this out of their story. Maine reads and hears their garbage. It's forced fed to them throughout the state.

It's not crazy once you realize that Democrats still think they can put an establishment stooge into that race.

The establishment has steadily lost control of its ability to control primaries. The base has gotten crazier while the establishment has to worry about general elections.

They probably believe getting him out now on the hypermasculinity even though it's fucking RAPE is not the worst thing in the world. But more pedo Nazi stuff will be very bad for "the party" this Fall.

That's what I think. I don't think it's a matter of quickly getting this out and litigating it so they can call it asked and answered. I really don't.

169 I don't know if that's true. Police are not interested in stalking reports, period. It's a nebulous kind of crime and it's a misdemeanor.

As one cop on this beat said to me, people justifiably get the impression that the police will only take action once the stalker has killed the victim.
Posted by: ace at July 07, 2026 12:26 PM (1wjle)

I dunno, Ace. Are cops likely to do anything? Probably not. But you call them anyway, if you are truly scared. What's the downside?

And cops will create a report (that's evidence if nothing else) and usually will at least talk to the accused. Sometimes that alone is enough to get the accused to back off.

Hell, I've had NYPD track me down as a witness to ask about Douche X and his alleged behavior at Party Y. I've also had NYPD contact me about my friend E___ (a lady) and her conduct to Douche Z.

I think most cops do take these allegations kinda seriously. It's just that there's usually no evidence to do anything.

I find it very strange that in not a single one of any of these PoundMeToo allegations -- not just these against the Nazi creep -- does the supposedly scared and traumatized woman ever call the cops.

Here's what a search said:
Chicago does not charge $5 as a per-call fee when you dial 911. Instead, the city imposes a monthly 911 surcharge of $5.00 on every active network connection (such as cell phone lines, landlines, and cellular-enabled smartwatches) billed to a Chicago address.This $5.00 monthly fee, which applies regardless of whether you actually ever use the service, is the highest municipal 911 surcharge in the United States.

I dunno, Ace. Are cops likely to do anything? Probably not. But you call them anyway, if you are truly scared. What's the downside?

And cops will create a report (that's evidence if nothing else) and usually will at least talk to the accused. Sometimes that alone is enough to get the accused to back off.

Yea, exactly. It's evidence if nothing else. And abused or stalked women do call the police. I know that for sure from my time doing pro bono at the clinic. The problem is that the women usually drop the charges or not follow up on them, but they almost always at least call the police. The fact that none of these women ever thinks to call the cops despite claiming to be so traumatized is very telling.

The stories of his Nazi tattoo came out from Democrat sources. The stories of his sexual abuse stemmed from Democrat media.

After everyone went nuts and implemented "community policing" everywhere, ghetto trash would call the cops over EVERYTHING. McDonalds refuses to cook you unsalted fries? Call 911. Your neighbor is mowing the lawn at noon on a Saturday? Call 911.

They won't tell cops anything when a nine year old gets raped on their front lawn, but they'll quickly report a perceived sleight done by a public facing employee.

There's no way Democrats come out of this situation with a shot against Collins at all.

It's fighting over who gets to be the loser.

I mean...she won the most anti-GOP year in 2020 by 8 points, in the middle of COVID, at the height of election fortification, and with Trump on the ballot.

All it's doing is making the Democrat party look insane and the establishment look weak. It's gotta be doing nothing but demoralizing their base.

I don't think even the most virulent white supremacist would dream that his plan of segregating blacks from whites would ever happen.

But here we are, the Dems are segregating them:
- into sub par schools, where they pretend to educate them
- into inner cities where no one else wants to live
- by encouraging them to use weird "african" names, so they can't get jobs
- by encouraging them to speak a different language, so they can't be understood and are further isolated from the good whites.

It's totally not racist.

Remember, Democrats have been gerrymandering harder for longer.

And the current maps are built on "mistakes" from the Census in 2020 that gave, by the Census Bureau's own admission under Biden, 6-8 more seats to Democrat states than Republican ones. And that's assuming that their admission is close to accurate. Considering that the Census has said that it didn't actually count, it modeled, the population, it's probably worse.

2032 maps will be interesting to see, especially if the GOP wins the presidency in 2028 and controls the census.

>>Remember, Democrats have been gerrymandering harder for longer.

The GOP is probably going to get wiped out in Cali.

Probably end up with maybe 1 or 2 GOP reps.

The fact that the house is on a knife edge is ridiculous.

I was told I was full of shit because I said that Callais will matter more in 2028 than 2026.

We got some movement in 2026. We were always going to get more in 2028.

We'll get more movement before the next presidential.

But the important thing will be post 2030 census when most GOP reps have already gotten comfortable with partisan gerrymandering and are suddenly faced with five new seats in Texas.

345 The most interesting thing about Crockett coming out and slamming her own party as RACIST for choosing the pasty white creepofag over her is not that she did it.

Of course she was going to do that.

The most interesting thing is that her ghetto-rat "doncha be dat dissin' me, homeslice" dialect is suddenly gone or at least heavily dialed back.

Kamala called Biden a racist to his face on the debate stage - and got to be Vice President for her troubles.

351 I've told this story before about a friend of mine a L&D nurse would ask a new black mother the name of her newborn for the birth certificate and she'd give some long, ridiculous name and when asked how it was spelled, the mom would then really struggle. Made up BS.

353 I filmed the first "tea party" protest here in Carson City, NV. This was back when you had to have a camera. Before anybody had stolen the tea party name.
There were 100 times as many people at that one then any protest before or since. The paper reported it at 100 but the pols saw the real numbers from their offices and got scared.
The one nazi that showed up was chased off by a bunch of old ladies before we could get near him. It was awesome and I came across a lot of friends who were pretty much apolitical to didn't give shit before that who are now active republicans.

354 GOP circular firing squad.
MAGA don’t vote unless he himself is on the ballot.
Podcasters will trash every viable GOP candidate as “weak on the 2nd amendment”.

Carl is trying his hardest. Email I received today:

Beckster - If we don't recruit and file candidates by August 7, the GOP will FORFEIT up to 2500 local seats in California! Can you help ASAP to prevent these seats being forfeited to the Democrats?

Contribute: Help Reform California Recruit Candidates in 2026

If you or someone you know are interested in running for a local seat please let me know ASAP by replying to this email.

I'm hosting a zoom briefing for potential candidates tomorrow at Noon to explain the process and how we can help them file their papers and run.

BRIEFING FOR POTENTIAL CANDIDATES
With CA State Rep. Carl DeMaio, Chairman of Reform California
Wednesday, July 8 at NOON

356 Just heard an old clip of of the woke Believe All Woman reporter comparing the accusations against Platner to Trump tape saying is was OK to grab woman by the pussy against their will.

Except that is not what he said and is at the heart if the lie.

He said (approximate) if you are rich/famous, young women will let you grab them by the pussy.

Which is a much greater imputation on the character of young woman than Trump.

357 The more they go down that road, the more people learn about how language shapes cognitive capabilities. Big own-goal, there.

I wonder if anyone would dare to make that scene from "Airplane" these days.
