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.
His tattoo was definitely not a “basic” nazi symbol, at least for American standards
I don’t know homie. Like I’m not one of those ww2 buffs and even I know that very specific skull logo. Like I get dudes in the military are your basic edgy Xbox live chatroom teenagers, but this dude’s reddit account became public not long ago and he is most definitely not a secret Nazi.
Id love to see that account. Nazi symbolism is a telling sign and Id still love to see what he said back up his past ideologies
