Despite media scrutiny and attacks on his character, progressive Senate candidate Graham Platner continues to gain support in Maine, with 58% of voters backing him. His platform focuses on making life more affordable, shifting the Democratic Party away from corporate interests, and ensuring the wealthy pay their fair share. #GrahamPlatner

        Platner had described it as a Nazi-style design.

          A second person told CNN that they learned of the tattoo years ago from the acquaintance, who told them that Platner had described it as a Nazi-style design.

          Ah sorry, I missed that as its third hand information. Thought you meant there was verifiable info.

            You know most tattoo artists know Nazi symbols very well, right? You know he’d have to seek out shady artists to get a Nazi tattoo professionally done, right?

      Who of us hasn’t done some edgy shitposting? A tattoo is just a shitpost on your own body.

        A rather permanent Nazi shitpost is way beyond what most do, and keeping it and lying about it makes it worse

          But he didn’t keep it he covered it up

          How private reddit account that was extremely anti everything Nazis stand for pretty handily show that he isn’t and wasn’t a Nazi, if that account didn’t exist in sure many many more people would be more skeptical
