Graham Platner is a Nazi and anyone praising him is a Nazi.

    Here’s his response to the tattoo

    Honestly if he went through multiple screenings for hate tattoos and they never caught it I can see where he didn’t know. There are a lot of symbols used by white supremacists and I can imagine someone accidentally wearing one if they don’t know much about them. There’s nothing in his platform that sounds nazi-ish, so I’m willing to believe him.

      Yeah but most people who consider themselves socialist, are educated enough to see a skull logo like that and be like “hold up, let me do some googling”. Even if it’s years after he got it.

        He said in the video it was gotten in 2007. Until I see evidence of him saying actual Nazi things like advocating for violence, holocaust denialism, admiration of authoritarianism/dictators, persecution of minorities or ethnicities, and other supremacist nationalist rhetoric I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.
