Maine U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner (D) talked to The Atlantic about his controversial tattoo.
“He told me that after he got the tattoo, he had two full-body screenings for tattoos as a requirement for government work, including screening for ‘hate’ tattoos, in both the Army and as part of his State Department work, and that the skull was not flagged either time. He told me that members of his family are Jewish, and that he has had his shirt off around them many times without anyone objecting to the tattoo.”
Said Platner: “Eighteen years. It’s never come up.”
