Thank God he didn't say any other controversial stuff
You do it because it's right, and because not taking it turns you into something you don't want to be. If all you care about is raw power, you're Susan Collins or Mitch McConnell.

Look, if Platner wins in November - and I doubt he will - you'll get one more vote against Trump in the Senate, and that's good. But it will come at a price.
The worst of all worlds? You all mortgage the high ground, and then he loses anyway - which I think is the most likely outcome.
New Janet Mills statement tonight on primary doesn’t mention Platner. She has not endorsed him in the general election. I asked her in mid-April if she’d support Platner if he were to win; she said: “I’ve always been a Democrat. I’ve always supported the Democratic candidate.”
