WEBVTT - Hugh Hewitt: 'Extremist Makeover' in Maine

0:00:01.400 --> 0:00:03.760
<v Speaker 1>This is Hugh Hewett for Townhall dot Com.

0:00:03.920 --> 0:00:06.440
<v Speaker 2>Today, Democrats seem to be trying a new take on

0:00:06.559 --> 0:00:08.879
<v Speaker 2>the extreme makeover reality show.

0:00:09.039 --> 0:00:09.880
<v Speaker 1>They're offshoot.

0:00:10.119 --> 0:00:13.280
<v Speaker 2>I'd call it extremists makeover, and we see it in

0:00:13.320 --> 0:00:16.560
<v Speaker 2>their likely candidate for senator in Maine. Looks pretty close

0:00:16.600 --> 0:00:20.600
<v Speaker 2>to certain that Democrats will be nominating oysterman Graham Plattner

0:00:20.880 --> 0:00:23.680
<v Speaker 2>in the Pine Tree State. He is not a liberal.

0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:26.880
<v Speaker 2>Plantner is not even a leftist. He's an extremist. For

0:00:27.040 --> 0:00:29.280
<v Speaker 2>years he had the tattoo of a death head worn

0:00:29.400 --> 0:00:33.280
<v Speaker 2>proudly by the Nazi era ss.

0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:34.400
<v Speaker 1>Hitler's worst of the Worst.

0:00:34.600 --> 0:00:37.080
<v Speaker 2>It was and remains a vile symbol ward by the

0:00:37.120 --> 0:00:40.760
<v Speaker 2>guards at the concentration extermination camps. Mains current and I

0:00:40.800 --> 0:00:42.920
<v Speaker 2>trust future senator is Susan Collins.

0:00:43.080 --> 0:00:45.360
<v Speaker 1>Collins and Platner could not be more different.

0:00:45.479 --> 0:00:47.800
<v Speaker 2>It's rare to have as Susan Collins represent your state

0:00:47.840 --> 0:00:50.320
<v Speaker 2>from a position of power and influence, do so with

0:00:50.400 --> 0:00:53.640
<v Speaker 2>class and humility. To trade that in for a desk's

0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:56.880
<v Speaker 2>goal and online bigotry, it doesn't seem like a bet

0:00:56.960 --> 0:00:58.200
<v Speaker 2>maners are going to make
