re: Daniel Moraff, the guy who found Platner, why does he talk like this?

How are those two clowns the powerbroker?

Yesterday, Payday Report learned that Congresswoman Summer Lee barred Moraff from her 2022 congressional campaign after receiving at least three complaints of sexual misconduct against Moraff.

Now, Moraff, who recruited Graham Platner to run for Senate in Maine, is at the center of a massive controversy after he admitted that he spent only a few days vetting Platner, who just withdrew from the Senate race after he was accused of rape.

Given the fact that both Congresswoman Lee and Justice Democrats stopped working with Moraff following these accusations, questions have been raised about why so many on the left trusted him to give a thorough vetting and assessment of Platner.

“Birds of a feather, flock together and Moraff and Platner were predators,” said one woman, who says she was sexually harassed while working to elect Congresswoman Lee.

In 2017, Moraff led efforts to recruit Summer Lee, then a local community organizer, to run for the State House from Pittsburgh’s Mon Valley. He then played an essential role in leading her campaign to defeat Paul Costa, a 20-year incumbent from a historic Democratic machine, whose family held four major elected offices, in a little less than one year.

However, by the end of 2022, Moraff was barred from participating in Lee’s historic run for Congress, in which she overcame $5 million in AIPAC spending to become the first Black woman elected to Congress from Western PA.

Payday Report has learned that Moraff was barred from Lee’s campaign following at least three complaints of sexual misconduct leveled against him, leading Lee to ban Moraff not just from his previous leadership positions in her campaign, but from even attending campaign events for Lee.

In Pittsburgh, some activists began contacting Payday saying that it was no coincidence that Moraff would so quickly approve Platner without doing the type of deep background research needed for a candidate for that office.

Worse, many speculated that Moraff may have overlooked Platner’s record while vetting him given Moraff’s own record of sexual misconduct, which ultimately led Congresswoman Summer Lee to ban Moraff from participating in her campaign or attending her events in her first run for Congress in 2022.

Payday Report has learned that during Summer Lee’s 2022 campaign for Congress, Lee received at least three sexual harassment complaints against Moraff. At the time, Moraff was attending Yale Law School, and the heir to the Toys “R” Us fortune was working on a pro bono basis on Lee’s campaign.
