Wait, how did CNN get these posts? It seems like they were private. Reddit dipping their hand into politics again.
Most of the posts were made five years ago under Platner’s then-Reddit handle P-Hustle. They were deleted ahead of his campaign launch in August. The posts in some ways underscore Platner’s reputation as an anti-establishment outsider with unapologetically left-wing views. But the labels and tone used in his writings could also prove costly in a state known for electing political moderates.
In another Reddit post that year, Platner reflected on his life after his military service, saying he was “a vegetable growing, psychedelics taking socialist these days. After the war, I’ve pretty much stopped believing in any of the patriotic nonsense that got me there in the first place, and am a firm believer that the best thing a person can do is help their neighbors and live a loving life.”
You can easily find reddit posts from t years ago through multiple means including the Internet archives way back machine. How they found his handle is worth wondering
These are the kinds of things traditional politicos would thing should cut against you, but in a modern environment the cut the other way (depending on how you are running).
CNN just trying to do the job of fox news from 20 years ago.
My bet is this amounts to nothing.
However, it begs a broader question, of who is actually associating their personal accounts with social media? This seems like the real mistake.

Omg seriously! I bet “DNC Party strategists” have told him to get rid of them to “appease the centrists”.
