Politicians on both sides of the aisle are waffling on moral consistency — and it’s time to get a backbone

Graham Platner, who is running in Maine’s Democratic primary for the 2026 US Senate election, was recently exposed for covering up a tattoo that resembles a Nazi “Totenkopf.” This should be beyond the pale for the party of political correctness — right? There’s a difference between the cancel culture of saying their lives should be ruined forever and simply making it clear to the American public that this behavior — coming not from random kids but from young people looking to ascend to leadership in your party — does not represent you. If the left is stooping to shrugging off literal Nazi tattoos, that’s an opportunity for Republicans to rise to the occasion and say, loud and clear, that they do not stand with the far fringes of their own side.
