    What a load of bullshit, of course he knew what it was.

    I swear, y’all will convince yourselves of literally anything.

      Legit question: how old was he when he got it?

      When I was a marine I did and said a bunch of homophobic stuff. I just did it because it was the thing to do and I didn’t have a fully developed frontal lobe. I wasn’t the only one and there were a bunch of people in the same boat.

      If he did it at like 34 I would probably assume he is lying. But if he did it before 25 I would say he did a stupid thing and can possibly look past it if his action match his rhetoric.

      Remember everyone gooning for fetterman? He turned into a piece of shit without racist tattoos.

        He got the tattoo at 23. Deployed oversees during the Iraq war. Almost 20 years ago. Nearly half his life ago.

      I think you’re a liar if you say you’d have recognized the SS totenkopf before this attack broke.

      And I think you’re an idiot if you believe this is a secret Nazi plot that involves intentionally getting and keeping a Nazi tattoo for 20 years and only remembering to cover it up when you run for public office.

      So, which are you?

      There’s some testimonies online even from his own Reddit account that alluded that he knew the meaning all along. I don’t know guys, but Platner just screams Fetterman 2.0 to me. Would really love to be proven wrong.

        Yeah, it’s not even like one of the more esoteric symbols, it’s the one that is most apparently evil at first glance
