OysterGruppenFurhrer Bragged about doing cocaine during mil leave

[WashingtonFreeBeacon] Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner discussed buying cocaine in now-deleted Reddit posts and admitted to drug use and "partying it up" while backpacking during paid military leave.

Platner, in posts from 2020, recalled his travels through Europe just before leaving the Marine Corps in 2008.

"I was making a pretty penny doing just about nothing. Went backpacking through Europe on the government dime, walked the Camino de Santiago,

… the Way of St. James in English, a network of pilgrimages leading to the shrine of the apostle James in the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia in northwestern Spain, where tradition holds that the remains of the apostle are buried. Popular with hikers, cyclists, and organized tour groups, it dates back to the early 9th century, following the discovery of the apostle’s relics...

did some drugs and had a blast partying it up in hostels across the continent," wrote Platner, who posted on Reddit under the handle P-Hustle.
