Platner’s campaign has been plagued by his derogatory comments about women.
For Maine Democrat U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner, the seedier he gets the better he bests his GOP opponent.
Of late he talked about masturbating in public bathrooms and now it’s complaining about taxing prostitution.
Nonetheless the latest Pan Atlantic poll shows him beating five-term U.S. Sen. Susan Collins by seven points.
The most recent report came Wednesday quoting Platner once lamenting the closing of a loophole that allowed military contractors to save money on taxes by spending their time off “banging hookers in Thailand” instead of getting “b*tched” at by their wives back in the United States.
“Spend your leave banging hookers in Thailand instead of getting b*tched at by the wife back home, and you could sell it as avoiding federal income tax,” Platner wrote on Reddit in June 2019, according to the Daily Wire.
“Once the Afghans started using our paychecks as a personal piggy bank, that whole loophole disappeared,” Platner said, as quoted by the Daily Wire’s Leif Le Mahieu.
Platner made the comments under the name “P-Hustle,” a handle he admitted to using after an archive of his Reddit posts was discovered.
“Hell, with those DoD static contracts, those poor bastards literally are just making 65 a year,” Platner posted under the user name “P-Hustle” on a thread.
“Sadly, the Afghan tax f***ed everybody on the 330 game.”
The reference is IRS regulations allowing a significant portion of income to be exempt if a person spends at least 330 days in a foreign country during a 12-month period.
The loophole allows American military contractors to avoid paying higher federal income taxes if they spend significant time overseas.
