Bernie Sanders was asked about all the accusations made against nepo baby Graham Platner as of late including a very questionable tattoo.
Bernie about Platner,

“In all due respect, all right, what I'm worried about, 50,000 Americans may die unnecessarily? And you're worried about a tattoo?"
When I asked about his comments about sexual assault, he said "Have you served four tours of duty?" I said "I have not."
I should not that Bernie was heated and pointing his hand at me. Meanwhile, Ron Johnson told @CatieEdmonson "Bernie's Getting pissed."

More on the fallout here and how Democrats are handling the Graham Platner messhttps://t.co/LL68pX0PtA

Spoiler Alert: the Democrats are not handling it well.
He asked *you* if you served four tours of duty as if that explains or excuses things?

Apparently, Bernie is under the belief system serving in the military makes it acceptable to have despicable political tattoos and various other really divisive belief systems. Not so much.
What a complete joke. Pathetic attempt at a non-answer

It’s interesting that Bernie Sanders only brings up his relatives who died in the Holocaust when he’s attacking moderate Democrats Republicans, and Israel. But when a progressive candidate he supports literally has a Nazi tattoo, he doesn’t give a rip. pic.twitter.com/rCitHI8A9G

Isn't that fascinating?
Same rationale they used for making no effort to remove Exalted Cyclops klansman democrat (but I repeat myself) Robert Bird and keep him in the Senate for 50 years: power.

But the Left will say the GOP is racist.
I'm sorry what? 4 tours gives him the excuse to say rape victims should be blamed for being raped?

WTF??
There is one of those bizarre beliefs.
Well, in all due respect, the Nazi tattoo is real while your "50,000 Americans may die unnecessarily" is total bs.

Also, that!
He deserves stiff criticism for that line of responses. No one should ever call him progressive after that.

Democrats are raging hypocrites.

And the press will let them get away with it.
Sickening.
In 2017, Bernie Sanders incited a mass assassination attempt of GOP Congressmen by telling his followers the GOP was trying to kill them and their children. When Bernie Sanders starts saying 50k Americans may die if he doesn’t get $1.5 Trillion, you have a responsibility to…

It seems Bernie never learns any lessons about his big mouth.
Well Bernie did write rape essays

There is that.
So because you’re served you can be racist sexiest and antisemitic. Got it.
