I have had this tattoo for the last 18 years. voice-verified
I reenlisted into the United States Army with this tattoo, where I was screened for hate and gang-related tattoos. voice-verified
I worked for the State Department as a contractor, where I got a full physical, which included screening my tattoos. voice-verified
I've gone through life with this thing, taking my shirt off, having photographs taken, videos taken. voice-verified
I've been very, very open in my life with the fact I had a skull and crossbones on my chest, because that's what I thought it was. voice-verified
It's come to my attention that it has a stark resemblance to a symbol that is used by neo-Nazis. voice-verified
And I want to say that was not the intent at all. voice-verified
And the idea that I've been going around with something like that utterly horrifies me. voice-verified
I know that symbols like this can be incredibly damaging to people. voice-verified
And the idea that I've had it all these years and it could have been read like that is incredibly troubling. voice-verified
I have lived a life dedicated to anti-fascism, anti-racism, and anti-Nazism. voice-verified
I think that racism and anti-Semitism are a long scourge on our society and a long scourge on our politics, and I think it has no place in our world. voice-verified
For that reason, I have gone and gotten it covered up. voice-verified
Last night, I went to a tattoo parlor and I got this to cover up the skull and crossbones. voice-verified
It's a Celtic knot with some imagery around dogs because my wife, Amy, and I have two wonderful dogs that we love a lot. voice-verified
This far more represents who I am now than even the skull and crossbones did, which I thought that it was. voice-verified
this has come up because the establishment is trying to throw everything it can at me it is terrified of what we are trying to build here every second we spend talking about a tattoo i got in the marine corps is a second we don't talk about medicare for all it's a second that we don't talk about raising taxes on the wealthy it's a second we're not talking about the material struggles of mainers as they try to scrape through a system that at its core is trying to rob them voice-verified
And that's why tonight I'm just going back right out on the road. voice-verified
We're holding a town hall in Ogunquit where much like I've been doing for the past month, going around the state of Maine, making myself accessible to Mainers in their communities so I can listen to them. voice-verified
I can hear about what it is they need to change in our political system. voice-verified
