Well, Democrats are in a tough position in the Senate races in 2026. There are not a lot of vulnerable seats for Republicans in 2026. But one of those vulnerable seats was supposed to be in Maine, where Susan Collins, who's a Republican senator from a very purple to blue state, she looked to be vulnerable against the Democrats. The Democrat chosen to run by the party was a person whose name is Graham Platner.
Graham Platner is a Bernie Sanders acolyte. He's a far left progressive. There was a primary that had broken out between Maine Governor Janet Mills and Plattner. But it appears that Plattner, who had the upper hand, now he is in trouble. Now he is in trouble. And one of the reasons that he is in trouble is because he is, in fact, a radical, insane communist. Not just a communist. Apparently, he kind of likes Nazis. I know. I don't know where all of this sort of fondness for Nazis is coming from. But it seems like a bizarre number of people are kind of into the Nazis these days. So the reason this is coming up is because Graham Plattner apparently released a video shirtless drunk at some sort of event, a wedding or something, in which he has a Nazi symbol tattooed on his chest.
Now, again, Plattner has the endorsement of Bernie Sanders as an anti-establishment outsider, according to Axios. But there have already been a series of minor scandals surrounding his candidacy, including resurfaced Reddit posts where he espoused offensive views about black people and sexual assault victims. So apparently in this video, he is singing shirtless and he has a skull tattoo on his chest. That is a Totenkopf, which was a symbol used by Hitler's SS. You know, like the skull and crossbones used by the SS. Apparently, the move was intended to get ahead of Apple research and the GOP Senate campaign arm seized on the images, accusing Plattner of having a Nazi tattoo, which is, of course, precisely what that is.
Now, Plattner then decided to go on with the Pod Save America bros, joining Tommy Veeder, former van driver for Barack Obama. And he says that the video was from his brother's wedding. And he said, I am not a secret Nazi. And first of all, when you have to say you're not a secret Nazi, never a great political sign.
