Did This Dem Rep Just Endorse...Susan Collins?

Graham Platner’s Nazi tattoos aren’t going away. The way you can tell this guy has baggage is that his own advisers’ defense is that he’s a normal guy, and they say he has issues like this, or something. Okay, bad pivot. Sorry, you couldn’t find a rural Mainer to take on Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) that doesn’t have SS insignias burned into his flesh? I’m not complaining, but that’s an incredible answer, but it’s the one being offered for now.

Reportedly, the opposition's case against Platner is so weak that he might have to consider leaving the state. That’s probably an exaggeration, but perhaps not. The latest revelations involve this guy’s social media activity, which has been out of control. He has a habit of masturbating in porta-potties and has even told veterans wounded in combat that they didn’t deserve to live. For Rep. Jake Auchincloss (D-MA), Platner’s Nazi-related symbols were too much, calling them disqualifying.

“I find that tattoo and his commentary about it to be personally disqualifying. I hope Maine voters agree with me.”

So, is that an endorsement for Collins? Yes and no, it’s arguably a soft one.

This is essentially a de-facto endorsement of Susan Collins since no other candidate on the Democratic primary ballot has a chance of defeating Platner.#MaineSenate https://t.co/EA7aC7lxLc
