Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner is facing scrutiny over resurfaced social media posts that have drawn criticism from veterans and political opponents.

The controversy centers around posts made by Platner that included comments directed at U.S. Army veteran Ted Daniels regarding his combat injuries sustained in Afghanistan. Daniels, who was wounded in a Taliban attack, has publicly responded to the posts, calling Platner's comments inappropriate.

Separately, questions have been raised about tattoos and other social media content associated with Platner's online presence. The posts in question have since been deleted from social media platforms.

Senator Elizabeth Warren had previously expressed support for Platner's candidacy. When approached for comment about the resurfaced posts, Warren's office has not provided a response.

The controversy has generated discussion about candidate vetting and social media accountability in political campaigns. Platner is seeking the Democratic nomination for a U.S. Senate seat from Maine.

Neither Platner's campaign nor Warren's office responded to requests for comment about the specific posts or their content.
