Why the Graham Platner Scandal Has Been So Hard for Women (with Dana DuBois)

Julie Roginsky, Michelle Kinney, and Dana DuBois hop on an impromptu live to talk through why the allegations against Senate candidate Graham Platner have been such a gut punch — not just because of what he's accused of, but because of who rushed to defend him.

Recorded live Wednesday July 8, 2026

The conversation centers on Lindsey Fifield, a Republican former girlfriend of Platner's, who told the Washington Post he repeatedly removed his condom without her consent, an act legally recognized in some states as sexual assault and known as "stealthing." They unpack why her account was dismissed by some as politically motivated, why Mika Brzezinski's on-air questioning of the claims felt like such a betrayal, and why progressive leaders like Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and Ro Khanna were so slow to act. Dana shares her own essay on stealthing and the years it can take to name what happened to you. Julie shares what it was like returning to Fox News the day after filing her lawsuit against Roger Ailes.

They also introduce DARVO — Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender — the pattern used again and again to discredit women, from Anita Hill to Christine Blasey Ford to now.

Not a happy episode. But an important one.
