      To my understanding the ‘nazi’ tattoo is an unfortunate mistake, young marine goes to tattoo shop and selects a ‘cool looking’ skull and crossed bones, unaware that specific version of skull and crossed bones is tied to the Nazis. Based on actions since then, even before running, he is fram from a Nazi.

        Exactly, he probably didn’t even choose that tattoo. It sounded like a group thing and was more about bonding with the group of marines he had served with. I suspect he didn’t understand the political significance of it. People need to take a chill pill and look beyond this. Listen to what he actually says. There are now two podcasts with long interviews with the guy. It’s not hard to find out what he thinks.

        I’ve heard similar stories many, many times. Nearly every time, it turns out the guy is just a POS.

          Maybe try listening to the guy. He has had interviews on Jon Stewart’s podcast and the NY Times podcast. There is a reason people are gonna vote for him. Ask yourself why you’re out of the loop on that and just towing the line for the dem establishment with boring cheap shot platitudes instead.

            Sorry, I don’t really care to peel back the layers of someone with a Nazi tattoo. That’s is literally all I need to know about them.
