65. If it wasn't a Nazi tattoo
Sat Jun 6, 2026, 01:40 PM
Jun 6

why did Platner cover it up?

He covered it up because it was a Nazi tattoo and in his best interest politically to do it.

That is not a "fighter" who will fight for the progressive Utopian wish list of eradicating billionaires and creating Universal healthcare for all, etc., etc.

I'd like to see his actual plans for implementing Utopia.

"Graham Platner wrote that women worried about rape need to 'not get so f’d up they wind up having sex with someone they don’t mean to.'”

Look over there at the tattoo, nothing to see here.
