You say you “never thought about” your tattoo as a Nazi symbol and covered it the moment it was pointed out.
But you call yourself a military history buff.
And CNN found Reddit posts from 2019–2020 where you participated in a discussion of the Totenkopf and its SS origins. You knew.
You kept that tattoo for 18 years until the internet noticed.
Any competent candidate would’ve cleaned this up long before running for Senate.
The Democratic Party didn’t make you:
-get that tattoo
- keep it for nearly two decades
- discuss the Totenkopf online in 2019–2020
- write “white people actually are [racist]” in 2020
- post homophobic slurs and anti-LGBTQ+ jokes (2016–2021)
- blame drunk rape victims in a 2013 thread re: sexual assault in the military
Those were your choices.
Now you’re claiming Democrats are “destroying your life” by highlighting actions you took - the same actions you said others should “take responsibility” for.
If you keep lying about what you knew and when
and keep blaming everyone but yourself
you’re not going to convince me, or other marginalized people who are already under attack, that you’ve changed.
You want trust? Start with the truth.

He’s propping up a deeply flawed candidate, parroting GOP border lies, and helping Republicans attack Democrats. That’s not “unity.”
That’s desperation to stay relevant. He’s become a bitter old man who can’t accept it’s time to retire.
Here's how Republicans are celebrating Bernie repeating their lies about the border, while ignoring the fact that Republicans blocked MULTIPLE bipartisan border bills under Biden so they could continue running on... how Biden didn't secure the border. 😒🤬
BERNIE IS HELPING REPUBLICANS
Here's Bernie getting pissy because he was asked why he still supports Graham Platner, a candidate who never intended to run for Senate, and why Bernie and David Hogg COMPLETELY failed to vet.
- stands behind comment that Black people don't tip
- never addressed his comments saying women in the military shouldn't drink if they don't want to get raped
- worked for Blackwater under a different name
- has a Nazi tattoo and lied about knowing what it was
- lots of homophobic Reddit statements
- blamed "establishment Dems" for his bad decisions
The right is using Charlie Kirk’s horrific death to make him a martyr.
Yes - it’s tragic that a young husband and father was killed.
The hate Charlie spent his career spreading was tragic too.
This thread shares his own words. People should know who he really was.
If I see a Black pilot, I’m going to be like, boy, I hope he’s qualified.

If you’re a WNBA, pot-smoking, Black lesbian, do you get treated better than a United States marine?

Happening all the time in urban America, prowling Blacks go around for fun to go target white people, that’s a fact. It’s happening more and more.

If I’m dealing with somebody in customer service who’s a moronic Black woman, I wonder is she there because of her excellence, or is she there because of affirmative action?

If we would have said that Joy Reid and Michelle Obama and Sheila Jackson Lee and Ketanji Brown Jackson were affirmative action picks, we would have been called racists. Now they’re coming out and they’re saying it for us … You do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously. You had to go steal a white person’s slot to go be taken somewhat seriously.
