The critical Maine Senate race will pit Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) against left-wing Democrat Graham Platner as the longtime incumbent finds herself in a serious battle to hold onto her seat.<\/p>\n

Current Maine Governor Janet Mills suspended her Senate campaign on Thursday, clearing the way for the Bernie Sanders-backed oyster farmer who has drawn criticism over his past anti-police rhetoric and for once sporting a \u201cNazi\u201d tattoo, a development that now has Democrats rallying around him, smelling an opportunity to retake control of the upper chamber of Congress.<\/p>\n

Except for Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA), who didn\u2019t sugarcoat his feelings about Platner.<\/p>\n

In remarks reported by NOTUS\u2019s Igor Bobic, the hoodie-clad Pennsylvanian branded the rising Democrat star as an \u201ca**hole\u201d and referred to his controversial skin art.<\/p>\n

Fetterman on Graham Platner:<\/p>\n

\u201cDemocrats really, really like Platner in Maine, but the Republicans fucking love him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Maine wants an asshole with a Nazi tattoo on his chest, they get him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDemocrats really, really like Platner in Maine, but the Republicans f**king love him,\u201d Fetterman said. \u201cIf Maine wants an a**hole with a Nazi tattoo on his chest, they get him.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is unclear whether Fetterman was referring to the tattoo being the focus of GOP attack ads or if he was trying to suggest that Republicans are Nazi-friendly, a smear that his party has deployed with much success in revving up their gullible and emotionally unstable base, who live in a fantasy that President Donald J. Trump is the second coming of Hitler.<\/p>\n

Platner has denied that the ink was in any way intended to show support for the murderous ideology responsible for the state-sponsored genocide of 6 million jews during WW II.<\/p>\n

But the pictures speak for themselves, and the tat bears a striking resemblance to a Totenkopf.<\/p>\n

Graham Platner, a 41-year-old Democratic Senate candidate in Maine, just admitted he got a Totenkopf skull tattoo (the Nazi SS symbol) while drunk with Marines in Croatia in 2007:<\/p>\n

According to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) website: \u201c\u2018A Totenkopf\u2019 is German for \u2018death\u2019s head\u2019 or skull and typically refers to a skull-and-crossbones image. During the Nazi era, Hitler\u2019s Schutzstaffel (SS) adopted one particular Totenkopf image as a symbol. Among other uses, it became the symbol of the SS-Totenkopfverbande (one of the original three branches of the SS, along with the Allgemeine SS and the Waffen SS), whose purpose was to guard the concentration camps.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFollowing the war, neo-Nazis and other white supremacists resurrected the Totenkopf as a hate symbol because of its importance to the SS and it has been a common hate symbol since. It is this particular image of a skull and crossbones that is considered a hate symbol, not any image of a skull and crossbones,\u201d the ADL states.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s safe to say we are confident going into Election Day,\u201d RNC spokeswoman Kristen Cianci said in a statement branding Platner as \u201ca Nazi sympathizing self-proclaimed communist with a record of hate-mongering and dishonesty.\u201d<\/p>\n

But not even an \u201c*sshole\u201d with a Third Reich tattoo would be motivation for Fetterman to vote for Collins, even though she has been a major thorn in President Donald J. Trump\u2019s side, along with a handful of her fellow RINO senators.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, I don\u2019t have any \u2014 I\u2019m not in it,\u201d Fetterman told Bobic when asked if he could see himself supporting Collins.<\/p>\n
