A woman who accused Maine Democratic Senate hopeful Graham Platner of physical abuse in a New York Times story published Thursday rounded on the Gray Lady early Friday, claiming the paper’s reporters “methodically delayed and twisted” her account into “a gift to the Platner campaign” — including spiking allegations of sexual assault against him. Lyndsey Fifield described her interactions with reporters Lisa Lerer and Katie Glueck in a pair of lengthy X posts Friday morning, saying she had “bucked all advice from my friends (and resisted my conservative bias) and decided to fully trust the Times journalists. ” “They connected me to two of the other victims so we wouldn’t feel so alone,” she wrote.
