Morris Katz, an up-and-coming New York City Democratic Party campaign strategist credited with being a major factor in New York City Mayorin 2019, amid a separate Democratic Party sexting scandal, that he had both"sent" and"received nudes.
" Katz also authored a 2020 puberty guide for boys that included, on page 17, a footnote saying that he initially considered using"images of my penis" to illustrate puberty before the publisher said it was inappropriate. The resurfaced writings have drawn scrutiny over the last week from Maine Republicans after Katz was accused of trying to contain the fallout from the sexting scandal involving Platner that he exchanged sexually explicit messages with multiple women early in his marriage on Kik, an anonymous messaging app that has faced scrutiny over predatory behavior and child-safety concerns.

"This guy , who is unbelievably strange, comes in from out of state and tries to get this horribly flawed guy, like limping, pleading across the finish line.
That is so arrogant," the GOP strategist said.
"The arrogance that it takes to come in and say, ‘I’m an out-of-state progressive socialist here to make some money off a flawed candidate bleeding in the polls,’ and then try to take that away from the people who really need it, you're going to take away what Susan Collins has done and will be able to do for these people.
