FIRST ON FOX: <\/strong>SULLIVAN, ME \u2013 Democratic Maine<\/a> Senate candidate Graham Platner declined to apologize both to voters and a Purple Heart recipient when asked by Fox News Digital about a deleted Reddit post where he said the wounded soldier “didn\u2019t deserve to live.”<\/p>\n

Platner did not respond at first when asked outside a market near his home whether he regrets making the post, which Fox News Digital reported<\/u><\/a> earlier this week showed him mocking a video of Pfc. Ted Daniels taken during a clash with Taliban fighters in 2012 that ended in Daniels being shot four times and being awarded a Purple Heart.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“<\/strong>I did four tours in the infantry, any attempt to say that I disrespect veterans is slanderous and offensive,” Platner said when asked follow-up questions\u00a0about what he would say to any Maine voters who were offended by his post and if he should apologize to Daniels.<\/p>\n

“<\/i>Do you think you owe him an apology?” Fox News Digital asked again.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital spoke to Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner near his home in Maine on Saturday about his recent controversies over his resurfaced Reddit posts, including a comment mocking a Purple Heart U.S. soldier.<\/span> (Fox News Digital)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

“<\/strong>Do you know how many of my friends have Purple Hearts, do you know how many of my friends got wounded?” Platner responded, before adding, “yeah, a lot of them, thank you.”<\/p>\n

Platner, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran<\/a>, sparked significant outrage online this week over the resurfaced Reddit post critics have said shows a lack of respect for his fellow soldiers.<\/p>\n

“This video never gets old,” Platner posted in June 2019 using the Reddit account “P-Hustle,” which he has acknowledged owning, in reference to a viral video<\/u><\/a> from the helmet Daniels was wearing while taking enemy fire.<\/p>\n

“Dumb motherf—–\u00a0 didn’t deserve to live. At least his stupidity and fat a– wheezing are available for all future infantrymen to witness and hold in contempt. Poor marksmanship on the Taliban’s part is the only reason this mouthbreather made it home. He managed to make every possible s— decision possible when it comes to small unit combat.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rob O\u2019Neill, the U.S. Navy<\/u><\/a> SEAL who is credited with killing Usama bin Laden, was one of many veterans to speak out in response to the post.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Mr. Platner was way out of line talking about a soldier that way,” O\u2019Neill\u00a0 told Fox News Digital about the controversy on Thursday.<\/p>\n

“This is completely barbaric,” O\u2019Neill added. “I don’t understand. If you swear an oath to the country, it doesn’t even matter what the politics are. Every single time you fight it’s for the man next to you, it\u2019s for the person next to you. Politics goes out the window. And to wish ill on someone like that under fire is just, you know, like I said, it is the opposite of everything I’ve ever been raised to believe.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Platner has previously leaned into his struggle<\/u><\/a> with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to explain the numerous incendiary social media posts that have surfaced since he announced his Senate run.<\/p>\n

“For those of you who have read these things and been offended, have read these things and seen someone that you don\u2019t recognize, I am deeply sorry,” Platner said in October before the post about Daniels, and other posts disparaging the military, were public.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m sorry for this. Just know that it\u2019s not reflective at all of who I am. I don\u2019t want you to judge me on the dumbest thing I ever wrote on the internet. I would prefer if people could judge me on the person I am today.”<\/p>\n

Daniels himself reacted to the post, telling Fox Business<\/u><\/a>, “People like this don’t say stuff like this to my face.”<\/p>\n

“It’s online, and that right there tells me, Graham, you’re a coward.”<\/p>\n

Platner became the Democrats’ presumptive nominee after his rival for the nomination, two-term Gov. Janet Mills, ended her campaign last month after trailing Platner in polling and fundraising.<\/p>\n

The Democratic Senate Primary in Maine will be held on June 9, where Platner will appear on the ballot alongside Democrat David Costello to earn the right to face off against incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins.<\/p>\n
