Opponents went all in on smearing Graham Platner as a Nazi based on a bad tattoo choice. It didn’t work. Maine voters decided they’d rather have universal health care and an end to reckless wars than a polished politician with an unblemished past.
Reading is hard sometimes, I’m sorry you struggled with it:
Jewish Insider first reported about the former acquaintance, who recalled Platner referring to the image as “my Totenkopf” in a joking way more than a decade ago. CNN spoke with that same acquaintance, who reiterated the recollection.
Genevieve McDonald, Platner’s former political director, told the Bangor Daily News that she had been aware of the tattoo since at least August and that Platner himself acknowledged it “could be problematic.”
My mistake. Not sure why the word search didn’t find it before. I’ll restore the original comment. I’ll forgive the self-righteous indignation because I can understand why having your memory questioned is frustrating.

You didn’t question my memory, you questioned my honesty, and I took that personally. I appreciate the apology.
