Time Magazine Gets DRAGGED for Putting Graham ‘Nazi Tattoo’ Platner on the Cover

In case you haven’t noticed, Democrats and their media allies are pulling out all the stops to drag Maine senate candidate Graham Platner across the finish line.

After spending years calling Trump ‘Hitler’ and his supporters ‘Nazis’ the Democrats are now tying themselves into knots trying to defend a guy who had an actual Nazi symbol tattooed on his chest for years, and then only covering it up with another tattoo now that he is running for office.

Platner has also come under fire for online comments in which he disparaged women, black people, gays, rape victims, and even veterans. The guy is a walking disaster area.

And yet, Time Magazine just put him on their cover.

Time Magazine cover on Graham Platner raises eyebrows online

Time magazine is drawing criticism for its cover story on controversial Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner.

Time’s upcoming June 8 issue features a photo of Platner, a Democrat running in Maine’s Senate primary, on its new cover with the headline, “Party Crasher: The rise of scandal-plagued Democrat Graham Platner.”

In a post to X, Time wrote, “TIME’s new cover: Even in this antiestablishment political moment, Graham Platner’s rise has been remarkable. His candidacy is forcing the party to come to terms with what it’s willing to risk in exchange for a fighter.”

Platner has faced several controversies including revelations he had a tattoo widely recognized as a Nazi symbol. In newly surfaced deleted posts attributed to Platner’s previous Reddit account, he also allegedly made vulgar sexual comments, described himself as a “communist” and “socialist” and mocked a Purple Heart U.S. soldier that was nearly killed in combat.

Here are some reactions:

So Donald Trump was Hitler, and all of us nazis, for a rally at Madison Square Garden. But the far left candidate with a Nazi tattoo is celebrated.

Not the first time a guy sporting a Totenkopf has appeared on the cover of Time Magazine. https://t.co/OxQFTRkjcC

In 2021, @PeteHegseth was flagged as an insider threat because of his tattoo, but Graham Platter has a Totenkopf tattoo, and he gets a glowing TIME cover. Just amazing stuff here. https://t.co/Fp14VyO8MH

He has a Nazi tattoo, said we should leave an American soldier to die, and bragged about sleeping with Thai prostitutes even while married.

It’s pretty impressive that Graham Platner is the SECOND Nazi that Time magazine put on the cover. https://t.co/EetFkQa5FP pic.twitter.com/WsM5IxiBAN

Platner is an awful candidate for Senate.

Here’s hoping the people of Maine don’t put him in that office.
