Accurate username.
Fuck me. Look at your history you have a hard-on for that dude.
Oh, I’m sorry if I keep commenting on the breaking news story that a senate candidate that has been plastered all over Lemmy recently has a nazi tattoo. Clearly that’s a me issue.
It was a skull and crossbones. That's a very generic symbol. Hell, it's being used all over the world right now as a part of anti-government protests. Your average American probably most associates it with pirates. I sure do, even knowing that the Nazis used it as well.
Regardless, as soon as he was told about it the one possible meaning, he got the tattoo covered over with something else. Find something of substance, like him actually saying anything anti-semitic.
It's literally the Totenkopf symbol used in the "Are We the Baddies?" skit. It's a specifically nazi variant of a skull-and-crossbones. C'mon, you can't really blame people for thinking that's a bit sus for someone running for political office.
Someone else mentioned that if you were at a Croatian tattoo parlor that had a totenkopf on the wall, and you didn't know what that was, there were definitely some other images on that wall that probably would've given you a clue
