SENATE SHOCKER: Mills Bails – Nazi-Tattooed Platner Poised to Take Democratic Nomination

And they call us Nazis.

The race is spiraling into an evil absurdity.

You’ve got a man with a Nazi tattoo running against Susan Collins—a Democrat who runs as a Republican  in name only. Strip away the labels and it’s effectively a contest between two Democrats.

But the real tell is this: a candidate with a Nazi tattoo barely registers outrage. Not long ago, the media melted down over an “OK” hand gesture and scrutinized tattoos like they were coded manifestos. Now? Silence.

As Erick Erickson put it: we went from hysteria over imagined symbols to indifference toward an actual Nazi insignia. That whiplash says everything about where the press stands—and who they’re willing to shield.

Maine Gov. Janet Mills Suspends Campaign for Senate, Making Nazi-Tattooed Graham Platner the Likely Democratic Nominee

The veteran Senator from Maine is Rep. Susan Collins (R). She is, no question, the most moderate in the GOP Senate caucus. She’s also a famously formidable campaigner who should not be counted out—however the polls may look as the election nears. Matt Margolis at PJ Media: The Maine Senate race just got a lot more interesting — and a lot more embarrassing for the Democratic Party. Gov. Janet Mills announced Thursday that she is suspending her campaign for the U.S. Senate, citing a lack of financial resources after falling further and further behind political newcomer Graham Platner in both polls and fundraising. Her exit leaves Democrats in an uncomfortable spot: their presumptive nominee is a self-described communist with a Nazi tattoo and a taste for racism and misogyny. Mills had been the establishment’s golden ticket. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer recruited her personally, and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee lined up behind her as the best shot to unseat incumbent Republican Senator Susan Collins in one of the most-watched Senate races of the year…. Platner has amassed a record so toxic that Republicans are practically giddy. The RNC wasted no time. “In November Susan Collins, a proven leader with an indisputable record of delivering for Maine, will face a Nazi sympathizing self-proclaimed communist with a record of hate-mongering and dishonesty,” RNC spokesperson Kristen Cianci said. “It’s safe to say we are confident going into Election Day” (PJ Media).
