Nazi Tattoo-Wearing Democrat Sen. Candidate Previously Talked About Jesus Being a ‘Zombie’ and Mary a ‘Skank’

Maine Democrat and candidate for the U.S. Senate Graham Platner’s history continues to plague his efforts to portray a more moderate image to voters.

Most notably, Platner has tried to explain away his Nazi tattoo — a Totenkopf infamously adorned by Adolf Hitler’s SS – by flip-flopping, at times downplaying its significance while at others saying the tattoo is a simple skull and crossbones.

Now, comments by the congressional hopeful about Christianity have come to the surface, once again damaging his image.

On Wednesday, political commentator Greg Price posted a screenshot to social media platform X from 2012 in which Platner responded to a post on Reddit about a soldier who claimed the military discriminated against him for being an atheist.

The post was about Army Specialist Jeremy Hall.

CNN explained that Hall grew up Baptist but became an atheist sometime during his tours of duty to Iraq. He filed suit against the United States Department of Defense after saying he experience a career downturn and felt his life was at risk, needing a bodyguard to protect him.

Platner commented on a headline about Hall on the Subreddit R/videos that hit on the major points of Hall’s story, doubting the authenticity of it.

He wrote, “I’ve spent 8 years in the infantry, Marine Corps, and Army, and I’ve been about as crudely atheist as one can be the entire time (zombie jesus jokes and Mary sucking at covering up being a skank, as examples).”

After referring to Jesus as a “zombie” and Mary as a “skank,” Platner added that he was around plenty of atheist soldiers and that he wasn’t held back from promotion, as the headline indicated Hall felt he was.

WARNING: The following post contains language some readers may find offensive. 

“Sure, there have been a few bible thumpers I’ve run into, but it was certainly never systemic,” Platner concluded.

For context, Platner is a combat veteran, enlisting after graduating high school and doing four tours of duty, according to his website.

He cannot seem to avoid controversy.

Likely, Platner will do as poor of a job explaining away these comments as he did in performing the mental gymnastics to downplay his tattoo.

Democrats would have a field day if a Republican were found to have mocked Muhammad years ago on an online post.

Certainly, people can change, and something that was said 14 years ago might no longer be relevant in some cases, but Platner can’t make up his mind about who he is now. 

To moderates, saying such deplorable things about the Lord of millions of Americans and the one who gave birth to him will be distasteful at best, but let’s not forget who votes Democrat.

These people may look at Platner’s behavior with joy.

We will know soon enough.

WATCH: Mother of Feral NYC Teen Who Body-Slammed and Stomped 15-Year-Old Girl’s Head DEFENDS Violent Son, Claims Victim ‘Bullied’ Him After She Refused to Give Him Her Phone Number

A horrifying video from New York has sparked nationwide outrage after a 14-year-old boy was caught on camera brutally body-slamming a 15-year-old girl to the concrete and then stomping on her head, all because she refused to give him her phone number.

Now, the boy’s mother is publicly defending her son, claiming the victim was “bullying” him and that his savage and animalistic attack was somehow justified because he is a “humble” Christian.

The shocking attack occurred around 3:30 p.m. on Monday at the corner of East 107th Street and Third Avenue in East Harlem, just after school let out.

The 15-year-old girl, a ninth-grade student-athlete at East Harlem Scholars Academy Charter School heading to squash practice, was confronted by the 14-year-old masked suspect, who had reportedly been harassing her for weeks.

In the disturbing footage, the girl is seen trying to walk away and yelling, “Get the f–k away from me.”

The boy follows her, grabs her from behind, lifts her off the ground, slams her to the pavement, and then stomps directly on her head.

His friends can be heard laughing and egging him on as the girl lies motionless on the ground.

WATCH (VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED):

The girl suffered a concussion and was rushed to Harlem Hospital.

The 14-year-old suspect was arrested on Wednesday and appeared in Manhattan Family Court, where he was ordered held in custody by the Division of Youth and Family Justice.

Because both parties are minors, his name has not been publicly released.

In an interview captured outside the courthouse, the boy’s mother, Selma Allen, issued a wild defense of her violent son.

WATCH:

Allen claimed the 15-year-old girl had been bullying him in school, sending messages, and even pushing him down, and that this somehow justified the vicious attack.

“She was being a bully to him, that’s it,” Allen told reporters.

“He’s been complaining about her. I bring it to the principal’s attention but he don’t address it. The way my son is being bullied, he doesn’t want to go to school.”

She claimed her son is a “quiet” boy who “doesn’t provoke nobody,” and described him as a “humble Christian.”

“He don’t provoke nobody. But if you provoke him, he will lash out.”

Allen insisted her son had proof on WhatsApp and Instagram and repeatedly shifted blame onto the victim while downplaying the savage stomp on the girl’s head.

None of the reporters asked the obvious question: if the girl was truly bullying him, why was he aggressively demanding her phone number and following her?

The victim’s mother, Lucinda Arroyo, spoke out Thursday in an interview with the New York Post. She said her daughter had been dealing with weeks of harassment from the boy and said it was a “miracle” her daughter survived.

“She’s very upset that her whole life has been completely flipped upside down right now,” Arroyo said. “She’s known him as someone who’s bad news for a while.”

“This is not even bullying, this is outright assault — and he could have killed her,” she asserted.

Her daughter was left with a concussion, bleeding, a potential brain injury, crushing headaches and a twisted neck, and will require ongoing physical therapy.

An incredibly sickening and senseless crime occurred on the street of New York earlier this week for the most insane and senseless reason imaginable.

An independent reporter using the pseudonym Coronavirus NY posted a video on his Instagram page showing the horrifying moment a male teen bully brutally assaulted a white teenage girl after she refused his advances.

The boy wanted the girl’s phone number and demanded that she be his girlfriend so he could show her off to his friends. But he became enraged when he heard her answer and tried to prevent her from escaping.

“I’ll knock the sh*t out of you right now,” the youth is heard saying in the video as he blocks the girl’s path in the crosswalk.

One of his friends then urged him to do it.

The boy proceeded to put one of his arms out and pushed her back when she tried to walk past him.

The girl responded furiously, telling him: “Get the f**k away from me, pu**y!”

This causes the bully to snap. He proceeded to pick the helpless girl up and slam her to the pavement.

Then he stomped on her head and walked away.

The New York Post reported that the girl suffered a concussion and was taken by emergency medical services to Harlem Hospital.

She is currently in stable condition.

Police told the New York Post that the demonic youth was later arrested and charged with second degree assault. He is scheduled to appear in court later today.

The youth has not been identified by police at this time.
