Democrats in Maine, and across the country, have made it clear that they don't care if their candidate had a Nazi tattoo on his chest for nearly two decades. Voters have made up their minds that they're going to vote blue no matter who, so they can take back the Senate and tend to their priorities, which include impeaching President Donald Trump and not much else.

Ryan Grim is a reporter at Drop Site News, and he has a hot new take on Graham Platner's tattoo. He says Republicans make themselves look ridiculous by claiming Platner has a Nazi tattoo, because when most people hear that, they assume it's a swastika. It's cool … it's not a swastika, it's a Totenkopf, a symbol of the SS.

If it were a swastika, they'd still be voting for him.

Ace reporting, there.

When Republicans brought up the Nazi tattoo, Democrats thought it was a swastika. When it turned out it wasn't, they were like, yeah, whatever.

Grim insists that Republicans look silly, even though no one on the Democratic side has denied the accusations that it's a Nazi tattoo. They just say he didn't know that when he got it, he was drunk, and he thought it looked cool. 

The people who don't know what a Totenkopf is are the same people who swore that the stage layout at CPAC in 2021 was meant to resemble a Germanic Odal rune.

But Republicans are the ones who look silly.
