Fifield, 41, is the second woman to allege this week that Platner engaged in nonconsensual sexual conduct. Jenny Racicot, 41, who said she previously dated Platner, told The Post and other outlets on Monday that he sexually assaulted her in late 2021, leading a growing number of allies to drop their endorsements and call on him to withdraw from the race for a Maine seat in the U.S. Senate. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont), his most influential and prominent supporter, said he spoke with Platner on Tuesday and urged him to withdraw from his campaign to unseat Susan Collins, the incumbent Republican.

Platner, 41, a Marine Corps veteran and oyster farmer, also denied Racicot’s allegation but said on Monday that he was “mindful of the political reality” that the reporting will “inflict” on his campaign and was “taking the time to reflect on the best path forward.”

Fifield initially told The Post about the alleged condom removal during a June 20 interview that was off the record. She said she decided to speak publicly about it Tuesday in part because, she said, she wanted to show that Racicot was not alone in experiencing issues with Platner involving sexual consent.

      Blue MAGA rallied behind a nazi merc, and now they are rallying around a nazi lover.

      What next, an antisuicide campaign with Eva Braun?

      Miss when nazi lovers were shaved and shamed. and nazis were punched rather than voted.

        You’re continuing to condone rape. You can draw whatever arbitrary lines you want around it, but that’s what you’re doing. You’re a cunt.

              no one deserves to be raped, but when you are dating a literal merc with nazi tattoos you cant expect a happy ending.

              and yall care more for a nazi woman’s tears than the countless brown people he killed for money. You are all racist as fuck.

        Blue MAGA rallied behind a nazi merc,

        This is just straight bullshit.

        Just more proof that “Blue MAGA” isn’t actually a real thing.

        People usually use it to refer to establishment Democrats who get behind center right nominees. Like the opposite of what happened with Platner.
