The Maine Senate race is currently facing a scandal. One that seems to be creating divisions within the Democratic Party. At the center of the controversy is candidate Graham Platner, who is facing significant scrutiny over a past chest tattoo that bears a resemblance to a Nazi symbol. While some party members are calling for distance, others are stepping up to defend his candidacy as he prepares for the upcoming primary.
The debate centers on whether this past mistake should influence his viability as a candidate for the United States Senate. Rep. Seth Moulton from Massachusetts recently offered his support. According to The Hill, Moulton told CNN, “Graham clearly made a mistake. What I appreciated about him is he owned that mistake. He took responsibility for it. And I don’t think that that’s disqualifying.”
