This is the real reason democrats are abandoning Platner, and it’s not because of new allegations

from The Rich Zeoli Podcast: Daily Politics, Culture & Chaos

On Today’s Show: 👉 Why top Democrats sat on the shocking evidence against Plattner until his poll numbers cratered.👉 The massive vetting failure that missed a Nazi tattoo and unhinged Reddit posts.👉 Kamala Harris privately calling Mamdani to secure a 2028 run.👉 Global liquor stocks in freefall as Gen Z ditches drinking and going out. Rich Zeoli breaks down the spectacular meltdown of Maine Democrat Senate nominee Graham Plattner as his party rushes to replace him before the looming July 13 deadline. We look at the bombshell Politico report detailing shocking sexual assault allegations that mainstream reporters tried to bury for weeks. Zeoli reveals how party bosses knew about the candidate's toxic history, his Nazi tattoo, and his fraudulent background all along but chose to hide the facts until his polling numbers cratered. Now, high-profile figures like Ro Khanna are rapidly withdrawing endorsements in a desperate attempt to protect their own power. We shift focus to the internal civil war gripping the national party as Kamala Harris actively courts far-left radicals for a potential 2028 presidential bid. Rich exposes a quiet effort by Harris to build ties with New York socialist Zora Mamdami and anti-Israel activists from the Uncommitted Movement in Michigan. Zeoli explains that the establishment is completely terrified of losing their radical base, which is why party bosses continually bypass primary voters to handpick compliant candidates behind closed doors. Later in the broadcast, we dissect a stunning economic shift as global liquor sales plummet because younger generations refuse to go out or date. Zeoli examines a Wall Street Journal report comparing booze companies to the decline of big tobacco, noting how lifestyle choices leave historic distilleries in massive jeopardy. Plus, we mock the corporate media mouthpieces who continually make excuses for corrupt politicians right up until the exact moment they become a political liability. 00:00 - Graham Plattner Maine Senate Campaign Crisis05:34 - The Democrat Playbook For Swapping Weak Candidates12:22 - Ro Khanna Desperately Withdraws His Endorsement15:58 - Campaign Operatives Admit Complete Vetting Failure25:48 - Plattner Releases Shocking Hostage Style Denial Video28:36 - Far Left Socialist Groups Drop Meltdown Candidate38:21 - The Critical July 13 Ballot Deadline Closes In42:16 - Kamala Harris Secretly Courts Radical Socialists51:19 - Gen Z Lifestyle Choices Crash Liquor StocksSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
