Maine Kampf: Bernie Sanders Stands Behind Senate Candidate With SS Tattoo

I had an early investigative piece on Graham Platner, the Bernie Sanders endorsed Senate candidate, was not working class (he’s the grandson of a world famous architect, the son of a lawyer who went to a prep school) and not a disillusioned veteran, but was a longtime leftist.

But Dems were sitting on a much bigger pot of opposition research which included Platner’s past Reddit history in which he claimed that he was a Communist and that white rural people were stupid and racist.

“Bastards. Cops are bastards.” Platner replied, “All of them, in fact.”

In another since-removed post from 2020, Platner responded to a thread titled “White people aren’t as racist or stupid as Trump thinks” by writing, “Living in white rural America, I’m afraid to tell you they actually are.”

Could things get worse? There was Planter’s reported self-identification as an “Antifa Supersoldier”.

But no, that didn’t do it, the SS tattoo however is making Platner a truly national figure.

A video showed Platner with an SS Nazi tattoo. Graham Platner claimed that he got it when he was drunk and didn’t know it was a Nazi ‘Death’s Head’ tattoo.

Except he apparently did.

““He said, ‘Oh, this is my Totenkopf,’” the former acquaintance told Jewish Insider recently, speaking on the condition of anonymity to address a sensitive issue. “He said it in a cutesy little way.”

Now, Platner is committing to having Mein Totenkopf removed. Which really isn’t the issue.

Having a phrase like ‘I am not a secret Nazi’ come out of your mouth is.

But in a kind of Hitler-Stalin pact, in which Graham Platner seems more than able to play both sides, leftists, including Bernie Sanders, are standing behind a man some are now calling Maine Fuhrer.

Asked about the SS tattoo, Bernie Sanders, who can’t handle questions, let alone tough questions, ranted that “we don’t have enough candidates in this country that will take on the powers that be and fight for the working class” and you can’t be too critical of fake working class guys with Nazi tattoos.

Much like the rest of the Platner campaign, it only got better from there.

“In all due respect, all right, what I’m worried about, 50,000 Americans may die unnecessarily? And you’re worried about a tattoo?” Bernie ranted.

When I asked about his comments about sexual assault, he said “Have you served four tours of duty?” I said “I have not.”

Horseshoe theory doesn’t get any better than this.

Bernie Sanders is talking about Obamacare subsidies. Healthcare. Which Platner, it turns out, doesn’t provide to his staff.

But all of this is bound to turn around when Graham Platner finally releases his campaign memoir: Maine Kampf.
