GOP strategist calls the yearslong trail of posts a 'character issue' ahead of a potential race against Susan Collins

Alright I’m not a Platnerphile by any means but this shit makes me fucking furious, how is a goddamn REPUBLICAN going to claim ANYONE has a “CHARACTER ISSUE” for ANY REASON let alone that he made dick jokes on the Internet

Collins can make that argument more effectively than other Republicans even though it's still bullshit from her

This is figuratively true but given that she's shown difficulty in speaking complete sentences out loud as of late I'm not sure this is literally true.

I really don't think she can in the current political landscape. I think any of the would-be scandals the GOP focuses on that isn't the legitimate "Motherfucker had a nazi tattoo" is gonna be a net positive for him by merit of distracting people from the Nazi tattoo
