Jewish Insider just sent out an email with an article with more Platner info. And yeah, this guy is DONE done.

But according to a person who socialized with Platner when he was living in Washington, D.C., more than a decade ago, Platner had specifically acknowledged that the tattoo was a Totenkopf, the “death’s head” symbol adopted by an infamous Nazi SS unit that guarded concentration camps in World War II.

“He said, ‘Oh, this is my Totenkopf,’” the former acquaintance told Jewish Insider recently, speaking on the condition of anonymity to address a sensitive issue. “He said it in a cutesy little way.”

SHE SAID

"TECHNO-LIBERTARIANS MAKE A PHILOSOPHY OUT OF A PERSONALITY DEFECT."

IN THE YEAR 2000!

I interviewed Paulina Borsook, who warned of tech culture's toxic underbelly over 30 years ago.

She wrote a prescient and scathing book, "Cyberselfish."

It tanked her career, but a new generation is discovering her work as tech fascism tries to kill democracy 👇

Overlooking Platner's past would work out like overlooking Fetterman's past — and that guy ended up being a huge piece of shit.

not to be dramatic but if I got blackout drunk and woke up with a nazi tattoo, even if it was "unintentional", I would take a cheese grater to my own body before I walked around with that shit

can’t wrap my mind around the arrogance of running for Senate as a Democrat when you have a huge Nazi tattoo, like how does this even happen

I don't think he is, or even was, a crypto-nazi.

But he was at the least completely fine having nazi symbology branded on his body for almost two decades.

And that's a huge fucking yikes that I'm disappointed to see some trying to brush off.

I find it EXTREMELY hard to believe, unbelievable even, that in those 17 years no one he knew pointed out what it was, that he never came across it in media, or he didn't look it up.

Wiggling @intense.wiggling.me · 5h

... And then went 17 years without looking up what it meant and getting it immediately removed or covered?

Wiggling @intense.wiggling.me · 6h

Or, you know, at some point in the 17 years after getting it.

As long as one of your kids isn't named "Hitler".

Then the tattoo might be problematic.

After we broke the story of the ICE lawyer with a white supremacist X account, no one seems to be able to tell us whether James Rodden still works with the agency. Even Congress can't get answers.

ICE Still Won't Answer Questions About Prosecutor with White Supremacist X Account

Congressman Marc Veasey arrived at an ICE facility Monday in his latest attempt to follow up on the Observer's reporting.

I'm sorry, but that's not how this works.
You don't get to say that in retrospect.
