Nazi Tattoo? Hamas Defender? No Problem, Says Chuck Schumer

Maine Gov. Janet Mills has suspended her Senate campaign after failing to raise enough money to compete with socialist Graham Platner, who will now almost certainly face the perpetual centrist Republican Susan Collins in the general.

Chuck Schumer and Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee Chairwoman Kirsten Gillibrand immediately backed Platner, proving that there's virtually nothing a leftist can say or do that is disqualifying. 

So, for 20 years, you've had a Totenkopf tattoo, which depicts a skull and crossbones, most famously used by Hitler's Schutzstaffel, the paramilitary organization that led, planned and executed the Holocaust? 

No problem! 

You'd think that picking this symbol out of all symbols that exist in the entire world would be problematic. Not for Schumer, self-styled defender of Jewish interests and author of the book, "Antisemitism in America: A Warning."

In keeping with the message of his tattoo, Platner has also praised the Islamic supremacists of Hamas. Let's face it, that's not exactly extraordinary among progressives these days.
