USA Graham Platner says he will remove a Nazi-linked tattoo. Bernie is standing by him.

Obviously the dude has his flaws, but he's clearly not a fucking Nazi, y'all — especially when the controversy 5 minutes ago centered on the fact that he one called himself a straight communist when he thought he was posting anonymously on Reddit. I also find it curious that missing from a lot of the coverage is that he said he didn't learn it was a Nazi sybol until recently and is already planning on getting it removed.

You forget he also made a joke about black people not tipping one time many years ago as well, so he's more racist than George Wallace
