Maine: Rally Round A Nazi!
Democrats in Maine are left with a far-left nincompoop as their sole candidate to challenge incumbent Republican Susan Collins for a U.S. Senate seat. Meet Graham Platner, the oyster farmer with a Nazi skull and bones tattoo emblazoned across his chest.
Platner is the lone Democratic Senate candidate after Maine Gov. Janet Mills withdrew from the race. She’s apparently scared to death that she will be dragged down in a deeply rooted Somali fraud case. She’s also afraid of Platner’s support among the far-left loonies who now dominate so much of Democratic politics.
Platner’s Nazi insignia marks him as a fascist at heart, although he has covered up the tattoo, which he said he got over the course of a drunken night in Croatia. But he also has said some truly bizarre stuff about women who get raped and also has dumped on rural residents.
In short, it will be interesting to watch how the lefties contort like pretzels to justify running this whack job of a candidate. Here’s more from Neil Johnson.
Here’s a New York Post feature that notes how Platner has the support of many Democrats, as he’s already been endorsed by Bernie Sanders, Ellen Warren and Chuck Schumer.
But John Fetterman sang a different tune, saying Maine would be perceived as a bunch of idiots if they elect “an asshole with a Nazi tattoo.” You have to wonder: How long before Fetterman switches parties?
