Actually, yeah. You know, I wasn't all in until this thread but you are making me realize how different he is from the myriad Republicans who do things DELIBERATELY and never (never ever!) apologize. Never even feel like they did anything wrong. Graham Platner did some things as a drunk 20 year old (sorry, despite you enthusiasm, most of us can believe he didn't understand the symbol because most of us are unfamiliar with the symbol) and as an immature young guy and he has grown up, acknowledged them, and apologized. Congratulations, Zionist posters. You convinced me to support some guy from Maine!

And thanks to this thread I will not be supporting the guy from Maine. Funny how that works.

NP. Were you ever supporting anyone other than Collins? Be honest!

Wish a smart, local candidate with common sense policies (who isn’t almost 80) would get in the race for the Dems so we’re not stuck with Platner.

Hegseth has “Deus Vult” and “Kafir” written very clearly on his body. It is very offensive. It was so offensive that he was not allowed to be part of the National Guard during Biden’s inauguration.

Don’t ever put him in the same category as Platner.

Cool story. So if Platner was running as a Republican, you'd have no issue with his tattoo? Because, you know, he got it when he was young and dumb and "didn't know what it meant."

Well. MAGA has no issue with Hegseth’s tattoos. Odd to suddenly be concerned.

I'm not MAGA, but the point is that Democrats were/are *outraged* about Hegseth's tattoos (none of which is a Nazi tattoo, btw), but perfectly fine with Platner's. Hypocrisy is the point.

People WEREN’T fine with Platner’s tattoo so he removed it and apologized. When has Trump or anyone working for him apologized for anything?

A Christian tattoo that is on the floor of the National Cathedral, compared to an SS tattoo.
Platner only got it removed when he was called out while running for Senate. Well after his young and dumb period, allegedly.

Not a good cover story. Try making up a better one.

Especially now that we’ve seen his handiwork at the Pentagon, blowing up innocent civilians and having absolutely no remorse.

You’re trying the same thing you tried with
Mamdani and it’s becoming tiring.
