The ex-girlfriend of Maine Democrat Graham Platner ripped The New York Times for watering down its story on her accusations that Platner treated her abusively during their relationship.
Lyndsey Fifield, who dated Platner from 2013 to 2015, said that the Times convinced her to come forward to talk about her experience with Platner, but then, the reporters left out critical details. In a post on X, she said the Times “twisted” the story into a narrative driven by Platner’s Senate campaign.
“It dawned on me that this really was a set up all along. The journalists I trusted who convinced me to share a story I never wanted to tell methodically delayed and twisted this into a gift to the Platner campaign,” she said. “Violating the trust of his victims. Shattering the trust I placed in them with the most vulnerable story of my life.”
