缅因州参议院候选人格雷厄姆·普拉特纳回应争议性过去网络言论

摘要

缅因州民主党美国参议院候选人格雷厄姆·普拉特纳就过去在Reddit上的言论道歉,称这些言论不反映他当前的观点。

格雷厄姆·普拉特纳,缅因州民主党美国参议院候选人,已就他在2010年至2021年间在Reddit上发表的争议性言论作出回应并道歉。普拉特纳是一名海军陆战队退伍军人和牡蛎养殖者,他确认这些现已删除的帖子确实出自他本人,并表示这些言论不代表他现在的信念。

在2018年的一篇帖子中,普拉特纳曾建议对抗法西斯主义可能需要武装抵抗,他写道:“如果人们期望在没有一把好的半自动步枪的情况下与法西斯主义作斗争,他们应该多读一些历史。”他此后对这类言论表示遗憾,称这些言论源于他在中东服役后经历的个人挣扎时期。普拉特纳解释说,那段时间他正经历创伤后应激障碍和疏离感。

针对2021年一篇他自称“共产主义者”的帖子,普拉特纳澄清他并不认同这一身份。他将该评论描述为对因其民粹主义观点而预期被政治标签化的一种戏谑回应。“我是小企业主,也是海军陆战队退伍军人。我是港口管理员……我不是共产主义者,”他说。

普拉特纳还回应了过去淡化军队中性侵问题的言论。他承认自己之前的言论缺乏了解,现在认识到军方曾掩盖此类事件的历史。“我当时说这些话,好像我很懂似的,但实际上我非常不懂,”他坦言。

在一段发布于社交媒体的视频中,普拉特纳表达了对过去言辞的懊悔,并强调了自那时以来的个人成长。他强调了自己从失望到找到归属感和目标的历程,表示:“虽然我不会为过去说过的话辩护,但我只想说,如果没有那段经历,我不会成为今天的我,而我对今天的自己感到非常自豪。”

普拉特纳目前正在与州长珍妮特·米尔斯竞争民主党初选,争取在即将到来的选举中挑战现任共和党参议员苏珊·柯林斯。
