PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — His U.S. Senate campaign under fire, Maine Democrat Graham Platner said Wednesday that a tattoo on his chest has been covered to no longer reflect an image widely recognized as a Nazi symbol.
The first-time political candidate said he got the skull and crossbones tattoo in 2007, when he was in his 20s and in the Marine Corps. It happened during a night of drinking while he was on leave in Croatia, he said, adding he was unaware until recently that the image has been associated with Nazi police.
Well, unless you’re doing it to cover up a Nazi tattoo I think you’ll be okay. I’m just saying if I were Platner I would have gone with Mickey Mouse or something.
ah yes, a character created by the famous anti-communist, anti-Semite Walt Disney. Good choice.
