Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner (D) has a Nazi tattoo. He says he didn't know what it meant.

purity tests aren't a bad idea

It's a fukking Totenkopf, and you were a soldier. You should know what that shyt means. What a stupid fukking attempt at an excuse. The racist posts from Reddit and the stint with Constellis (formerly Blackwater) are just the cheery on top of a campaign-killing cake.


You're misinformed. Democrats backed the outgoing governor, Janet Mills, not Platner. The party machine was working against him.

I haven’t read through the Reddit posts but “Totenkopf” literally just means “skull” in German… how would anybody who doesn’t study Nazi history in depth know this is a Nazi symbol.

I sure as hell didn’t. shyt looks like a kaws figure.

Actually my mind is blown right now. Hella nikkas been rocking Nazi symbols thinking it’s hot

He's supposed to be the future of the Democratic party. One of those everyday White men like Fetterman, who never wears a button up shirt or tie.

Dems need to get rid of Fetterman..

That doesn't look like a normal skull though.

So a former Blackwater mercenary with a Nazi tattoo?


Pack this dude up.

The wild thing is white progressives bending over backwards to defend him when anybody else with mercenary in their bio would’ve been dismissed off top but they risking it all for one with a nazi tattoo who says dumb shyt like this

 

[Yessir_Araphat]

He’s just a kid who made a mistake

 

[Loose]

He's a far-left weirdo. I don't like him.

Even though she's old, Janet Mills (current Governor of Maine) is the better option than him in the Dem primary.

Janet mills said Susan Collins has done a great job. Terrible post anyone a better option than both Collins and mills

 

[Clayton Endicott]

So a pirate flag?

Or Memento Mori

 

[Voice of Reason]

A murderer and a Nazi, the dems really outdid themselves with this prick.

murderer? are you talking about military service

 

[Voice of Reason]

Bernie Sanders and Ro Khanna endorsed him

 

[Arianne Martell]

Platner has the energy but I wonder if Schumer had this info...sat on it until after he put their corporate choice to get him tf out.


Also, the Blackwater thing, I get it...if you are in the military or prior, those times were good tax free money where you could make half a million in a couple of years (if you were good with money) and from blacks, latinos, asians, whites were doing that shyt. So is not something unique to him, but the tatoos and reddit posts (have not read and I'll taken your reaction) those are major red flags...

I dont live in Maine so I dont have to decide on what type of shyt Im voting in...Cause that governor is TOO DAMN OLD.

murderer? are you talking about military service

I think it’s bc he’s a mercenary all them black water dudes are psychopaths
