Platner has no history as an elected official but he has QUITE the history of problematic statements and viewpoints.

What vetting did Sanders do to believe this guy was worthy of endorsing? Was any vetting even done? If not, how did Sanders even decide to endorse the guy? What has he done to make him worthy of Sanders endorsement?
