This means he can be replaced with another Democrat
Graham Platner can be replaced as the Democratic nominee for Senate in Maine if he withdraws from the race by next Monday, and state law would then give the state Democratic Party until July 27 to name a replacement.
I can excuse the tatto. I never seen it before, and it’s just a skull, not like it has a swastika. I could even also kind of excuse the claims of abuse because of his ptsd (I haven’t looked into those allegations tho). The latest allegations are pretty cut and dry tho, he should be in jail. Why did this creep even run, he knows what he did. It’s so frustrating that another candidate could have won this seat.
The totenkopf was literally the imagery used in the Mitchell and Webb “are we the baddies” skit. It is a VERY well known symbol of nazi germany and the SS in particular. And considering platner claimed to be a military history buff?
Which, to be clear, means he watched The History Channel. Which was regularly referred to as “The Hitler Channel” for how much it showed nazi related content.
It’s a common strategy for political and media operatives to support weak primary candidates in the opposing party.
