Democratic National Committee Chairman Ken Martin said Sunday he believes in “second chances” regarding Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner , saying he thinks Platner acknowledges his “harmful” words.

Platner apologized in a video on X on Friday for social media posts he made on Reddit in 2018, during which he was “struggling deeply” after serving in the Army. The deleted posts , made on the subreddit r/SocialistRA, included statements like if people “expect to fight fascism without a good semi-automatic rifle, they ought to do some reading of history,” and another post saying “an armed working class is a requirement for economic justice.”
