    What have I said, that isn’t factual? Is it hearsay that he has a Nazi tattoo, or that he worked at Abu ghraib and for Blackwater? Those are just facts, aren’t they? I have listened to what he is saying, and his politics sounds good. Excuse me if I take his words with a grain of salt, given his past actions. No “narrative” needed for me to be wary of a guy with a past like that.

      Lol! The “What have I said that isn’t factually true?”, is probably the most “misinformation” response to being called out for spreading misinformation, there is.

      Are you actually suggesting that anyone with a skull and crossbones tattoo, is automatically a Nazi? Even if that person has extremely non-Nazi political views?

      You say you’ve listened to what he’s been saying, and can’t find anything wrong with it…but, you’re still skeptical because the establishment keeps calling him a Nazi…but can’t understand why I might call you out for falling for their propaganda?

      This is such a weird take, man. You should probably give it some thought.

        Come on. If I see a “skull and crossbones”, I think “pirate”. If I see a totenkopf (or a swastika), I think “Nazi”. I guess that’s a “narrative” but it’s not one specific to Mr. Platner, and not something I need “the establishment” to tell me.
