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

Man with a beard wearing a black sweatshirt stands outside a building with a sign for Graham Platner's U.S. Senate campaign.

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: Radical Democrats in New York Battleground Congressional District Call to Abolish ICE or ‘Go Back to the Drawing Board’ During Debate, One Candidate Declares ‘Everyone Will be Held Accountable’

Panel discussion featuring four speakers at a conference, with a focus on community engagement and collaboration, set against a decorative backdrop.

Panel discussion featuring four speakers at a conference, with a focus on community engagement and collaboration, set against a decorative backdrop.

Democrats hoping for the chance to unseat Republican Rep. Mike Lawler in New York’s battleground 17th Congressional District made their radical positions on immigration enforcement crystal clear at a candidate forum this week.

In video footage from the Westchester County Democratic Committee’s pre-primary debate on Thursday, at Manhattanville College, a moderator asked the candidates, “Abolish, reform, or keep ICE?”

The responses from three leading contenders left little doubt about their desire to see the agency keeping Americans safe destroyed.

Beth Davidson, the Rockland County legislator who leads early polling in the Democratic primary, responded first.

“Go back to the drawing board,” Davidson said. “We need a system that is humane and streamlined that keeps people safe and allows everyone who plays by the rules a full path to citizenship.”

Effie Phillips-Staley, a progressive Tarrytown Village Trustee and self-described “unapologetic progressive,” was blunter.

“Abolish ICE!” she declared.

Phillips-Staley has made abolishing the agency a centerpiece of her campaign.

On her official website, Phillips-Staley lists “abolishing ICE” among her priorities and published a press release in January titled “A New Vision for a Civil Immigration System,” calling for demilitarizing immigration enforcement and treating it as a civil administrative matter rather than a “paramilitary” operation.

Cait Conley, an Army combat veteran and former election security official from Ossining, framed ICE agents as the problem.

“Everyone will be held accountable,” she said, describing federal agents on American streets who “assault, harass, and kill people sworn to serve.”

Conley’s campaign site states she will fight to “rein in ICE” as part of opposing what she calls the Trump administration’s “unlawful and authoritarian agenda.”

WATCH:

New York’s 17th District, which includes parts of Rockland, Westchester, Putnam, and Dutchess counties, is a battleground seat.

The Democrat primary is scheduled for June 23.

Davidson currently leads the crowded field in fundraising and name recognition, according to recent polls reported by Politico and Patch.

The district has been a top target for national Democrats hoping to flip the House in the midterms.

Lawler has consistently supported strong border security and interior enforcement measures.

Harry and Sentebale’s chairwoman Sophie Chandauka: lawsuit

An African headache for the self-exiled British Royal.

Twenty years ago, British Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso of Lesotho co-founded a Charity in Africa called Sentebale.

For Harry, it was reportedly a way to honor his late mother, Princess Diana, and ​help young people with HIV and AIDS in Lesotho ​and Botswana.

Harry and Chandauka in happier times

In early 2025, Harry quit his role as a patron for the charity, following high-profile mudslinging in the press, in which he was accused of ‘bullying and harassing’ Sentebale’s chair of ​the board, Sophie Chandauka.

Now, it arises that Sentebale is suing Harry for libel ‌at the High Court in London.

Reuters reported:

“According to a record made public on Friday, ​Sentebale lodged a defamation claim last month at the High Court against Harry and one of his close friends Mark Dyer, who was also ​a trustee of the charity.

There were no details as ​to what the lawsuit involved. Neither Harry’s spokesperson nor the charity immediately responded ‌to ⁠a request for comment.”

UK’s Charity Commission investigated Sentebale

Chandauka reported Harry and the trustees to Britain’s charity regulator ‘for alleged bullying and harassment’.

“After a review, the Charity Commission reported it had ⁠found ​no evidence of bullying, but said ​there had been weak governance and criticized all parties for allowing an internal ​dispute to become public.”

According to OpenAI, the male suspect also made threats outside of its San Francisco headquarters very early Friday morning.

Altman has not publicly addressed the arrest.

In a separate statement, the San Francisco Police Department said officers responded to a home in the North Beach neighborhood of San Francisco around 4:12 a.m. PT Friday “regarding a fire investigation.”

The officers learned that an unknown man had thrown “an incendiary destructive device at a home, causing a fire to an exterior gate,” police said.

The suspect fled on foot, and his description was broadcast to all officers.
