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.

“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.

He Loves Jesus, So They Called Him Crazy And Cut Him (VIDEO)

Today on Stinchfield, NBA rising star Jaden Ivey is suddenly out after speaking out against what he says is a forced LGBTQ agenda inside the NBA. The Chicago Bulls cut him loose, the media calls him unstable, and the left says he is spiraling. But on the right, many see something very different.
A young man standing firm in his faith, unapologetically professing his love of Jesus, and refusing to bow.
So when did faith become a disqualifier in America? And why is speaking your beliefs now treated like a mental health crisis?
At the same time, the dysfunction in Washington hits a new level. Congress is on vacation while the Department of Homeland Security remains unfunded.
Let that sink in. Our national security agency hangs in the balance while lawmakers disappear. The United States Senate, in particular, should be ashamed.
I say bring them back. Do your job. Fund the government. Protect the country.
This is about priorities. And right now, the American people are not at the top of the list.

Supreme Court Rules 8-1 Against Colorado’s Ban on ‘Conversion Therapy’ for Minors – Justice Jackson Dissents


The US Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled 8-1 against Colorado’s ‘conversion therapy’ ban for LGBTQ minors.
Liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented.
The lawsuit was filed by Christian talk therapist Kaley Chiles.
Kaley Chiles argued that Colorado’s ban on her talk therapy methods violated her First Amendment rights.
Chiles counsels children and minor teens struggling with gender identity issues.
Justice Gorsuch agreed and said Colorado’s ban on certain talk therapy methods “censors speech based on viewpoint.”
“Under our precedents, bedrock First Amendment principles have far less salience when the speakers are medical professionals,” Justice Jackson wrote, according to NBC News.
NBC News reported:
In a blow to LGBTQ rights, the Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled that Colorado’s ban on conversion therapy aimed at youths struggling with their sexual orientation or gender identity violates the free speech rights of a conservative Christian therapist.
The 8-1 decision in favor of therapist Kaley Chiles on her claim brought under the Constitution’s First Amendment is likely to have national implications — more than 20 states have similar laws. It could also have an impact on other forms of medical treatment that involve speech.
Writing for the majority, Justice Neil Gorsuch said that “the First Amendment stands as a shield against any effort to enforce orthodoxy in thought or speech in this country.”
Colorado’s law “does not just ban physical interventions,” Gorsuch wrote. It also “censors speech based on viewpoint.”
In deciding the case, the court embraced Chiles’ argument that the Colorado law banning conversion therapy regulates speech, not conduct, as Colorado had argued.
As such, the measure is not like other health care regulations that focus on conduct, the court concluded. The case, decided on the global Transgender Day of Visibility, will now return to the lower courts.
