Auchincloss Demands Platner Step Down

Jewish Rep. Jake Auchincloss is doubling down on his call for Democrats to cut ties with Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner, citing Platner’s controversial chest tattoo—a skull and crossbones resembling a Nazi SS symbol—as grounds for disqualification. Platner, a Marine veteran, says he got it drunk in Croatia and has since covered it up, calling it a youthful mistake. Auchincloss insists the symbol, even hidden, is unacceptable for public office, reigniting debate over how historical symbols impact political eligibility as the race heats up.
