Democrats will forever cast swastika shadows
Democrats congratulating Graham Platner on his primary win should ask themselves if they’re getting their money’s worth long-term.

No phenomenon better illustrates howling phoniness: Democrats who falsely smeared President Trump as Hitler, and defamed patriotic MAGA Americans as Nazis, buoyed Maine senatorial candidate Graham Platner atop their shoulders on primary election night.
Recent months’ news accounts detailed Platner’s foulness: the SS Deathshead “Totenkopf” tattoo he proudly wore for some 19 years (until investigative lights shone), his history of violent domestic abuse, his habit of referring to women with gutter vulgarian verbiage, his vow to rape home invaders as a means of establishing dominance, and wishing death upon a bullets-wounded U.S. military veteran.
As former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer observed while a Hannity guest on primary election night that Democrats today won’t support longtime ally Israel, but they will endorse a Nazi-tattoo guy.
Platner will now face RINO Susan Collins in November. Even if party elders eventually switch out Platner for a generally palatable candidate, the damning stain is set.
Never again can Democrats plausibly claim to oppose fascism. Nor that they support women. Not even that they back soldiers who risk lives in defense of America.
But they undoubtedly will. Style over substance is the Democrat way. During the Senate’s recent SPLC fraud hearings, multiple Democrats who accept Platner insisted that they revile bigotry. Janus dances.
Democrats from Bernie Sanders to Chuck Schumer, from Ro Khanna to Elizabeth Warren, and from James Carville to Ruben Gallego have pedaled a multi-rider bicycle in Platner’s defense. Their mantra: Democrats must retake control of the Senate — “by any means necessary” being the unuttered subtext.
Made undeniably plain by Democrat leaders’ backing of Platner is that theirs is a party with neither conscience nor decent principles.
They’ve shown themselves to be counterfeits of the lowest order. They will forever cast swastika shadows.
