A political candidate posted degrading language about a veteran after a video of the veteran fighting in 2012 resurfaced. The candidate wrote that the video never gets old and used profanity and insults toward the soldier. The veteran later described being pinned down by machine gun fire and moving into the open to draw fire so his squad could reach safety. He said his hands shook the first time he watched the video, and for days he struggled to sleep and eat. The candidate also made additional comments on sexual assault responsibility and on using crude humor about porta potties, claiming the remarks were jokes.
"This video never gets old. Dumb mother f*cker. At least his stupidity and fat a** wheezing are available for all future infantrymen to witness and hold in contempt. Poor marksmanship on the Taliban's part is the only reason this mouthbreather made it home, he managed to make every possible shit decision possible when it comes to small unit combat."
"In an interview about the video that so delighted Platner in which Daniels can be heard shouting, Help me, and I'm hit, the veteran said that his squad was pinned down by machine gun fire and he came out into the open to draw fire so my squad could get to safety. I don't know if I held it together, but I tried to, Daniels told The Washington Post. I put my ass on the line for other guys. I still functioned even though I was scared to death."
"He also revealed that the first time he watched the video. His hands shook. For the next several days, he couldn't sleep, and he struggled to eat. Platner's campaign did not respond to a Fox News' request for comment."
"In other since-deleted Reddit posts, Platner urged women concerned about sexual assault to take some responsibility for themselves and not get so f*cked up they wind up having sex with someone they don't mean to? and revealed that he feels compelled to jerk off every time I sit in a portash*tter. He defended porta potty crack as sh*tposting. You should read the comments in context. It's very clear I'm joking, Platner told Fox."
