    Smear campaign? I don’t see anyone denying that he has a Nazi tattoo. This doesn’t seem like the same sort of thing as the baseless accusations of antisemitism against Mamdani or the “Bernie Bros” and “Obama Boys” nonsense.

      He addresses the tattoo directly on pod save America and how he got it. It was something him and a bunch of other soldiers got together in the military 20 years ago. He also finds it funny that these smears accuse him of being a Nazi and a communist at the same time.

        Ohhh ok he got the Nazi tattoo with other soldiers together in the military, so that makes it ok guys.

        Remember John Fetterman? He seemed pretty progressive, right until he got elected.

        The guy is a marine who served several tours in places we never should have been in the first place, with a Nazi tattoo on his chest. I think I’ll believe that over some bullshit faux leftist lip service he might pay in order to get elected.

      Pretty thin sauce given the pic I’ve seen. And I don’t give a rat’s ass how he was as a young man.

      Watch this and tell me you can’t cheer for him.

        So even if he was more Nazi when he was younger, you don’t think he could have changed since then?
