10. Same thing as what? Sorry, I truly don't understand

Platner was accused of inappropriate texting with women. Someone is trying to sink his candidacy, although if it's Collins, surely she should have waited to unleash this attack until after the June 9th primary. Anyway, this statement by Platner's wife is supportive.

Katie Hill's story is complicated, and I don't know the details, but I can't find anything really similar to the Platner story, unless you mean her iron cross tattoo?
