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.
No I’m not. It’s the symbol on every SS hat. I’m sorry, but I was being too generous before. I absolutely would have looked at it twice
I honestly don’t fucking care what you believe. I am aware enough about history to know the third most well known Nazi symbol.
You know, when I was younger, the History Channel actually showed WW2 documentaries. I’m starting to think they never should have stopped.
