Embattled U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner was hit with a second explosive allegation of sexual impropriety only about 24 hours after he was accused of rape — all while a major campaign decision deadline looms. In a new report published by The Washington Post, the candidate from Maine was accused of removing condoms during sex with his ex-girlfriend Lyndsey Fifield after she explicitly directed him to wear them. "He would pull condoms off," she told The Washington Post . "He would do it in a sneaky way. He wouldn’t tell me." NEW YORK TIMES UNDER SCRUTINY OVER GRAHAM PLATNER COVERAGE AS ACCUSERS SPEAK OUT AGAINST PAPER Fifield, 41, previously accused Platner of physical misconduct during their relationship, saying that he sometimes grabbed her hard enough to leave marks on her body, and that one time he twisted her arm around her back, pushed her into a bedroom and held the door shut until she "calmed down." Those concerns were largely dismissed by Platner's supporters, who characterized Fifield, who used to work at The Heritage Foundation, of being a conservative operative. "I confronted him both during and after [sex] because he knew that I was not on birth control and how dangerous that was," she told The Post, who said that Fifield made the allegations in a previous interview with the outlet, but strictly off the record. ‘HE HATED WOMEN’: EXPLOSIVE ABUSE, NEW NAZI TATTOO ALLEGATIONS FROM EXES ROCK PLATNER'S CAMPAIGN "He would act like cute about it, like ‘Oh sneaky me,'" she said, according to the report. In a statement to The Washington Post, the Platner campaign reportedly said that Fifield's latest allegations were "categorically false and politically motivated." Platner is running to oust Republican Maine Sen. Susan Collins. Monday, the oyster farmer, whose campaign has been dogged by scandal since last year, was accused of rape by another woman.
