Nazi Tattooed Democrat Candidate Graham Platner Mocked ‘American Sniper’ Chris Kyle

Despite Platner’s Nazi resume, Democrats continue to support him full-throatedly. And his Nazi worship is just the tip of the iceberg.

Free Beacon: Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner (D.) suggested that legendary “American Sniper” Chris Kyle shot innocent civilians in Iraq in order to inflate his kill numbers. Platner also bristled at the idea of the former Navy SEAL and his platoon being dubbed “heroes.” Platner, running for Senate against Sen. Susan Collins (R.), lashed out at Kyle and members of the SEAL’s “Task Unit Bruiser” in a May 2024 podcast interview on Green Beret Chronicle Show in which Platner, a former Marine, discussed his deployment in 2006 to Ramadi, a hotbed of insurgent activity during the Iraq war. In the interview, Platner—who did not belong to an elite Special Forces unit like the SEALs—took issue with public portrayals of Task Unit Bruiser and Kyle as heroes of the Iraq war…. Platner claimed members of Task Unit Bruiser, led by then Navy SEAL commander Jocko Willink, shot unarmed civilians from their position at the Government Center in Ramadi, where American forces were stationed throughout 2006.

Maine Dem Senate candidate Graham Platner also got caught mocking a wounded Purple Heart hero, literally wishing the Taliban had finished the job.

“Dumb motherf**ker didn’t deserve to live… poor marksmanship on the Taliban’s part is the only reason this mouth breather made it home.”

Human filth.

This is the kind of trash Democrats want representing Maine.

Senator Ted Cruz slammed Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner as a “self‑described communist” who had a Nazi SS Totenkopf tattoo on his chest, explicitly linking it to symbols worn in Nazi death camps where 6 million Jews were murdered.

“This guy is a self‑described communist… who put a Nazi tattoo on his chest. Not just a Nazi tattoo… a Totenkopf, which is the symbol of the SS.”

“Democrat after Democrat is traveling to Maine. Elizabeth Warren, Nazi communist, he’s my guy. One after the other after the other. They’re utter hypocrites.”

Press Herald: The website includes some graphic material, but: Platner has posted and spoken in a manner that is graphic. The site: Graham Platner’s Red Flags. Platner blames rape victims, wears a Nazi tattoo, calls police bastards, slanders Mainers, sympathizes with terrorists(BigotedPlatner). Portland Press Herald: The super PAC so far has spent $4 million attacking Platner since Gov. Janet Mills suspended her campaign last month, effectively handing him the nomination. The spending by the group, formed solely to bolster Collins’ reelection campaign, shows that Republicans are planning to keep up their attacks between now and the general election. As of Wednesday, Republican groups had booked nearly twice as much airtime leading up to Election Day, spending nearly $73 million to Democratic groups’ nearly $42 million, according to the ad tracking firm Ad Impact.

Maine.gov: The Maine primary is June 9, but on the Democrat side the field has largely been cleared, making way for Platner.

Graham Platner cruelly mocked a US soldier who nearly died protecting squad: ‘Stupid motherf—er didn’t deserve to live’

By: Ryan King, NY Post, May 20, 2026:

WASHINGTON — Seven years ago, Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner cruelly mocked an American soldier who was caught on camera taking fire from the Taliban in Afghanistan.

The viral helmet footage showed how Pfc. Ted Daniels moved into the open as a diversion tactic to help his squad mates get to safety. But Platner saw him as a “dumb motherf—er” who “didn’t deserve to live.”

“This video never gets old. Dumb mother—er didn’t deserve to live. At least his stupidity and fat ass wheezing are available for all future infantrymen to witness and hold in contempt,” Platner, then a 34-year-old, chided on his burner Reddit account.

Screenshot of a Reddit post titled “Old footage of US soldier taking machine gun fire in Afghanistan 2012” with a comment by “u/P-Hustle” mocking the soldier.

“Poor marksmanship on the Taliban’s part is the only reason this mouthbreather made it home, he managed to make every possible s— decision possible when it comes to small unit combat.”

That post was made on Platner’s infamous “P-Hustler” account, which has been linked back to him. It was recently uncovered by freelance journalist Magdi Jacobs. Despite Platner’s efforts to scrub his Reddit history, The Post verified the remarks using Pull Push.

Footage of Daniels’ encounter with the Taliban had gone viral years earlier, garnering tens of millions of views. The then-37-year-old father of two later admitted he was embarrassed by the footage but insisted he was trying to save his seven fellow soldiers. He was shot at least four times and earned a Purple Heart.

“You know, tactically, it was not a sound thing to do. But I also remember Murphy’s Laws of Combat: If it’s stupid, but works, it isn’t stupid,” Daniels later told CBS News.

In the terrifying footage, he was shown weathering shrapnel and calling out for help as a storm of bullets flew all around him.

“That was a vulnerable moment for me right there. You know, I kind of pride myself on being a tough guy. Not once in my life have I ever cried out like that,” he reflected.

The Post contacted Platner’s campaign for comment.

Throughout his wild Maine campaign for US Senate, Platner has championed an anti-war message, reflecting on his time in the Marine Corps during his four combat tours in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Often, he has accused incumbent Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) of sending him off to war. Platner had voluntarily enlisted and later worked for military contractor Constellis, formerly known as Blackwater.

Platner has claimed that his views on war evolved over time. He has also expressed regret for many of his Reddit posts that have been unearthed during the campaign.

“It’s called s—posting. It’s when you argue with people on the internet and try to bother them,” Graham previously told Fox News about his Reddit history.

The lefty Maine Democrat has been endorsed by Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) and others.

“Platner’s comments mocking a wounded American soldier prove how morally bankrupt he is as a person and how unqualified he is as a Senate candidate,” National Republican Senatorial Committee national press secretary Bernadette Breslin told The Post.

“Even the online military community downvoted his disgusting post, and veterans are rightly condemning him for it.”

The Post previously reported on how Platner once defended urinating on dead Taliban soldiers, praising war as “the most enjoyable experience.”

The oyster farmer’s other Reddit posts have ignited controversy, showing how he bashed “all” police officers as “bastards,” said rural white Americans “actually are” racist and stupid, and described himself as a “Communist.”

Platner has taken heat over a tattoo apparently depicting a Totenkopf, a “death’s head” symbol used by the Nazi SS. He claims to have gotten it in Croatia while inebriated in 2007 and denied knowing of its Nazi links.

The Maine Democrat has since inked over it with a “Celtic knot with some imagery around dogs.”

Democrats will vote for this most undeserving candidate. Look across New England- similar loo zer D’s hold every office in their gerrymandered glory. Not a Republican has a chance even though 46% of the region voted for Trump.

Maine is 90% YT. And they are going to vote for this S whole? Moral of the story: don’t go to Maine.

Difficult to comprehend how anyone could vote for this, well can’t say what should be said.

He’s just saying out loud what the Democrat party thinks as a whole (minus Fetterman).

The only thing that makes him stand out in the Democrat party is his lack of brain-to-mouth filter and his choice of tattoos.

Walks like a fascist, talks like a fascist, that my friends is just a fascist with a (D)…
