A woman who made bombshell allegations against Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner is rejecting claims that she came forward for political reasons on Monday.

Jenny Racicot told CNN's Jake Tapper that she decided to come forward because she felt that "there are a lot of men in this world relying on the silence of women to be where they are, and I don't want to contribute to that."

When Tapper pressed her on the potential blowback from Platner supporters who claim that she was motivated by politics, Racicot said she "couldn't disagree more" with them and that she wrestled with a "huge moral conflict" because she agrees with Platner politically.
