The New York Times did a front page hit piece on Graham Platner today. Written by two reporters, one of whom went to 3 Ivy League colleges, “exposes” Platner for saying he is working class when his father was a lawyer and his grandfather had a small business. My neighbors have know Platner for years and say he’s the real deal. I’ve met him, quizzed him and now support him. If you want to know what he stands for read or listen to his interview in the Times. It is much fairer than the front-page smear job.

Here is part of it: “I get a chuckle out of the fact that a lot of folks in this political system who come from incredible amounts of privilege and wealth are the first ones to be like, Are you really working class?”
