Watch: Bernie Sanders Shocks Nation With Defense of Nazi Tattoo!

The sheer, unadulterated hypocrisy of the left-wing media and their allies in the Democratic Party has been exposed once again in a scandal that defies belief. While they spent years fabricating stories and smearing conservatives with false accusations of racism and extremism, they are now openly rallying behind a candidate who proudly displayed the very iconography of history’s greatest evil.

The controversy centers on Graham Platner, a far-left Maine Senate candidate who, until recently, bore an actual Nazi symbol tattooed on his body. This is not a matter of misinterpretation or a smear campaign; it is a factual, visual representation of hate that Platner chose to ink onto his skin. Compounding this grotesque revelation are a history of racist, homophobic, and sexist comments he made on the internet forum Reddit, painting a picture of a man whose character is fundamentally at odds with the values he now falsely claims to represent.

In a display of moral bankruptcy that should shock the conscience, Senator Bernie Sanders has stepped forward to become Platner’s chief apologist. Instead of condemning the Nazi symbolism and bigoted rhetoric, Sanders has chosen to attack the messengers and excuse the inexcusable. His defense is a masterclass in the moral relativism that has consumed the modern left, where accountability is for political opponents only. Sanders, in an interview with Axios, blamed the media for the fury about the tattoo and Platner’s deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, where he said he went through a challenging chapter in his life. “I’m not overly impressed by a squad of media running around saying, ‘what do you think about the tattoo on Graham Platner’s chest,’” Sanders told Axios on “The Axios Show.”

This is the same political faction that relentlessly attacked and attempted to derail the nomination of a Trump administration official over completely debunked and fabricated claims of Nazi sympathies. They have shown time and again that their outrage is not principled; it is purely political, a weapon to be deployed selectively against their enemies while their own are given a pass for far worse transgressions.

Sanders further elaborated on his dismissive stance, offering platitudes about “dark periods” that would never, ever be extended to a conservative candidate found in a similar situation. “I suspect that Graham Platner is not the only American to have gone through a dark period,” Sanders said. “What he did was he expressed his darkness on the internet. Probably not a brilliant thing to do, alright? And he said things that are stupid, things that were hurtful. He has apologized for them.” This flippant dismissal of vile bigotry and the display of a hate symbol is a stain on the United States Senate and demonstrates precisely why the strong, America-first leadership of President Donald Trump is so desperately needed to combat this pervasive double standard.

The scandal deepens with reports that Platner, in a desperate attempt to conceal the truth, tried to buy the silence of his former campaign director by offering her a cash payment in exchange for a nondisclosure agreement. This is the behavior of a man who knows he has done something wrong and seeks to hide it from the voters, a tactic all too common in the corridors of power inhabited by the leftist elite.

Despite this torrent of damning evidence, the most telling detail of all is that Graham Platner, the candidate with the actual Nazi tattoo, is now the reported frontrunner in the Maine Senate Democratic primary. This is not an anomaly; it is a revelation. It shows the true character of the Democratic base, which is willing to overlook the most blatant symbols of hatred so long as the candidate pledges allegiance to their radical, socialist agenda. This moral failure stands in stark contrast to the unwavering support for our brave law enforcement and the clear condemnation of hate groups that has been a hallmark of President Trump’s leadership.
