Graham Platner’s Nazi Tattoo: Drunken Mistake or Disqualifying Factor?
Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner disclosed that he has a tattoo resembling the Totenkopf, a symbol associated with Nazi Germany, during an interview on “Pod Save America.” Platner, a veteran, stated he received the tattoo while drunk in 2007 and was unaware of its association with Nazism until he began his campaign. Despite facing scrutiny, including the resignation of his former political director, Platner has received support from Senator Bernie Sanders and plans to have the tattoo removed. The disclosure came amidst recent revelations of Platner’s old Reddit comments on various sensitive topics.
