OPERATION BLITZ-CRINGE: Graham Platner Swaps Nazi Skull for Morbidly Obese Celtic Wolf.

Platner claims to have gotten the Nazi tattoo during a drunken night out in Croatia in 2007. The embattled candidate said he only recently became aware of the Nazi affiliation. In an effort to preempt a story being shopped by his Democratic primary opponents, Platner went on Pod Save America and denied being a “secret” Nazi. He did not deny being an overt Nazi, raising further questions about his support for genocide.

Genevieve McDonald, who resigned as Platner’s campaign manager last week in response to unearthed Reddit posts in which the candidate disparaged black people, rural Americans, police officers, and rape victims, suggested Platner was lying about being unaware of the tattoo’s significance. “Graham has an anti-Semitic tattoo on his chest,” she wrote. “He’s not an idiot, he’s a military history buff … he knows damn well what it means.” Another former associate of Platner’s told Jewish Insider the candidate proudly referred to the tattoo as “my Totenkopf.”

An extensive Free Beacon analysis determined that Platner’s attempt to cover up the anti-Semitic tattoo was also riddled with Nazi symbolism. A close reading of the poorly drawn obese wolf creature suggests the new tattoo is most likely a reference to Blondi, the German Shepherd who accompanied Adolf Hitler to his Führerbunker in 1945. Most glaringly, the animal’s arms and legs are positioned to resemble two halves of a swastika. The less said about the tattoo’s proximity to Platner’s nipple, the better.

Heh, indeed. Theodore Dalrymple once warned that the tattoo parlor is “the refutation of the doctrine that the customer is always the right. In the tattoo parlor, the customer is always wrong.” That’s especially true with both Platner’s original tat and its replacement:

Alas, it really isn’t.

And it only took ten months to go from socialist gnostics seeing a Hitler salute from Elon Musk to, “eh, so the big lug’s got a Totenkopf tattooed on his chest. No big whoop, right?”
