Several outlets report renewed controversy around Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner and a tattoo described by critics as having Nazi origins or Nazi-linked symbolism. Fox News says Rep. Brad Schneider, a leading House Democrat, argues that Platner’s denial of knowing the tattoo’s origins is not credible and joins other Democrats in condemning the tattoo. The Hill and Washington Times report that Rep. Jake Auchincloss breaks with his party’s presumptive nominee, doubling down on his position that the tattoo is “personally disqualifying,” and says he would “vote for someone else.” Newsweek similarly characterizes Schneider’s criticism as urging Platner to “own” the tattoo-linked connection. Other coverage describes the political fallout among Democrats, including debate within the party about whether condemning the tattoo should be straightforward and whether it should affect Platner’s standing. Mediaite reports a separate line of questioning by a Republican lawmaker to an SPLC leader about whether the tattoo should disqualify Platner from public office. The dispute continues as lawmakers publicly differ over how the issue should be treated in the Maine Senate race.
