Hasan Piker turns on Platner, says he believes sexual assault accuser and predicts 'curtains' for campaign
Progressive host Hasan Piker called the sexual assault allegation against Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner "curtains" for the Democrat's campaign
Progressive media darling Hasan Piker is predicting "curtains" for Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner after a sexual assault allegation rocked the political landscape Monday.
Piker, the popular far-left Twitch host who many Democratic hopefuls have courted for support, reacted to the explosive claim made by Platner ex Jenny Racicot while reading Politico's report on his livestream.
The host was particularly alarmed when he read that Politico "also spoke with a man Racicot dated and confided in the years after the alleged incident, and reviewed documents, including emails between Racicot and her therapist and messages between Racicot and an acquaintance whom she warned against getting involved with Platner years before he ran for office."
"That is curtains," Piker told his audience. "That is the trifecta, ok? That is the trifecta of a reliable allegation. It's — holy s---."
"Personal first-hand testimony to a friend, a close confidant, back from way before Graham Platner ever f---ing ran for Congress? And also direct testimony from a therapist?" Pike continued, later adding, "I believe this, this accusation. I believe this allegation."

Others in the liberal media are also taking aim at Platner and speculating on how much longer he will last on the campaign trail.
"If these allegations are true, to this extent, I don’t see how he can be the nominee for senator in Maine for the Democratic Party," MS NOW host Luke Russert reacted to the breaking news.

The Bulwark's Tim Miller blasted Graham's video statement saying his campaign is "taking time to reflect on the best path forward."
"I’m sorry but 'we are taking time to reflect on the best path forward' is not an option on the table," Miller wrote on X. "Either it’s false and you campaign with vigor or it’s true and you get out / apologize to everyone you let down."
"Platner needs to drop out ASAP - these are awful, credible allegations," Pod Save America co-host Jon Favreau said. "It's now abundantly clear that he just hasn't been honest about his past and can't be trusted as a candidate for office. Saving grace is that the party can find a replacement by the 27th as long as he drops by the 13th, which I very much assume he will."
The Platner campaign did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
