In reply to the discussion: What, exactly, makes Platner's skull and crossbones Nazi? [View all]FalloutShelter
(14,691 posts)2. A marine who served with GP
Came out and commented something like
We were 21 drunk and got tattoos that we thought looked cool.. end of story.
There was no Nazi identification intended.
Also
the woman who is accusing GP worked as social media manager for the Heritage Foundation for years and helped convince Collins to vote for Kavenaugh.
BTW Susan Collins was having an affair with a man whose wife was dying of cancer and she is now married to him so
not Snow White.
this is nothing but a rat fuck.

It's bewildering that Platner told CNN that he has never been "close to money" given his personal biography.

That some people do not recognize a symbol does not change the historical fact of the symbol.

But if the person with the tatoo did not recognize it as a historical symbol, that's super relevant. nt

I am concerned if he knew what it was and then flat out lied that he did, that speaks to character IMO

Totenkoph is German meaning Deaths Head. It was the official symbol of the Nazi SS.

Yes, it's an iron cross which was worn on Nazi uniforms. Is it exclusively a Nazi symbol? No.
