Pod Save Bro Jon Favreau: Ignore the Nazi Tattoo—Platner Wore a Cool Anti-Fascist Knitting Club T-Shirt

Listen, the Obama Bros are horrible people, but defending the Nazi Tattoo candidate is a new low even for them.

I can't remember the last time there was such a giant disconnect over a candidate between online (mostly BlueSky) Dems and Democratic voters.

And it's not like Maine voters don't know about the tattoo or other controversies -- Platner gets asked about it all the time. They just… https://t.co/hDHteNpO3u

Favrea says 'if he is a Nazi' ... the proof is in the pudding. He has a Nazi tattoo. If he was not a Nazi, why in the world would he have such a tattoo?

I'm pretty sure the nazi tattoo is why people are calling him a nazi. https://t.co/m5yJwpozbq

It would seem that would be the connection.

I think the effort to cancel Platner over tattoos or podcasts or whatever has basically backfired and people are actually ready for a less uptight Democratic Party.

I'd just like to see him extend that to some more flexible thinking about policy. https://t.co/nvqvFUAWJF

Apparently, Matty is fine with the Nazi tattoos and wants everyone to stop worrying about those and focus on policy ... um, ok.

I think it's ok to be "uptight" over Nazi tattoos, but whatever I guess. https://t.co/THRQjXyWj6

“Israel is an apartheid state, and don’t be so uptight about Nazi tattoos” - The Democratic Party, 2026. https://t.co/xQWw6Y5GEw

“People are actually ready for a less uptight Democratic Party” when you’re discussing the acceptability of having a candidate with a Nazi symbol tattooed on his chest is legitimately an insane thing to say.

I can’t even wrap my head around where the discourse is at now. https://t.co/xQWw6Y5GEw

The bar is in hell for the Democratic Party apparently.

“Less uptight” doesn’t include hand waving away Nazi tattoos, racist tropes, hanging with other neo-Nazis, and suggesting women who are sexually assaulted deserved it.

Dude has ZERO political experience, was raised with a silver spoon, and thinks he should be US Senator. NO https://t.co/pP27MMzXSk

Oh, he wore an anti-fascist shirt to cover his fascist tattoo? Oh that's great then! https://t.co/NJNCbI1KmZ pic.twitter.com/G59NiplYj5

Jon, why do you only have a problem with nazis and people who hang out with nazis when they’re Republicans? https://t.co/38vRQr0NXx pic.twitter.com/DxVOlhwNXv

When they are 'Jon's Nazi's', they are different, you see. His Nazis are the preferable kind, apparently.
