Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner says nobody ever told him the large SS-Totenkopf tattoo he's had on his chest for the last 18 years is a Nazi symbol (www.notus.org)

He has a nazi tattoo!! Wtf are you talking about? That is disqualifying, end of story.

And he's denounced it! Wtf do you want?

Why don't you have this same smoke for the US Military that should have caught this time and time again?

Where has he denounced it? In his rebuttal on Pod Save America he merely stated that he didn’t know what it was; which is obvious bullshit or he’s too much of an idiot to hold office. What I want is a candidate that doesn’t have a nazi tattoo on their chest, which somehow is not a dealbreaker for you. Be better.

He's already given interviews about the tattoo online. Look them up. He denounced it.

One interview, which I referenced and which he did not denounce the tattoo. So if you have any further examples, please point them out.
