The Democrat Nazi Scumbag

Ex-girlfriend says Maine Democrat Graham Platner knew his tattoo's Nazi connection all along

Graham Platner told reporters he had no idea the skull-and-crossbones inked on his chest was a symbol of the Nazi SS. His ex-girlfriend says that's a lie, and that he used to call it by its German name.

Lyndsey Fifield, a 40-year-old Republican campaign worker from Virginia who dated Platner from 2013 to 2015, told The New York Times that the Democratic Maine Senate candidate referred to the tattoo as "my Totenkopf" and joked openly about its Nazi origins. The Totenkopf, a death's-head skull, is widely recognized as a symbol of the SS units responsible for the murder of six million Jews during the Holocaust.

Platner's campaign told The Times he "strongly disputes" Fifield's account. But her claims land at a moment when the candidate can least afford another credibility problem. Details of his extramarital sexts with roughly half a dozen women had already roiled his campaign over the weekend.

And the tattoo controversy now threatens to deepen the question that hangs over his entire candidacy: Does Graham Platner tell the truth? Answer:  NO.
