PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — His U.S. Senate campaign under fire, Maine Democrat Graham Platner said Wednesday that a tattoo on his chest has been covered to no longer reflect an image widely recognized as a Nazi symbol.

The first-time political candidate said he got the skull and crossbones tattoo in 2007, when he was in his 20s and in the Marine Corps. It happened during a night of drinking while he was on leave in Croatia, he said, adding he was unaware until recently that the image has been associated with Nazi police.

    Sure. That’s why Pete Hegseth was chased out of public life in shame as soon as everyone found out about his Deus Vult tattoos.

    Mainstream media isn’t soft pedaling this because they like Democrats, they’re doing it because they like Nazis. Nazis have already coopted the Republicans, and our billionaire overlords would like nothing more than to see them coopt the Democrats too.
