Opponents went all in on smearing Graham Platner as a Nazi based on a bad tattoo choice. It didn’t work. Maine voters decided they’d rather have universal health care and an end to reckless wars than a polished politician with an unblemished past.

Platner was subject to one of the most intense smear campaigns in the history of modern electoral politics.

    What part of my comment is misinformation?

    • Did he not have a nazi tattoo?
    • Did he not explicitly acknowledge that it was a Totenkopf years before running for public office?
    • Did he not lie about knowing what it was after the fact, during his campaign?
