Trump Cooks Democrats for Rallying Behind Candidate With Nazi Tattoo After Years of Hitler Smears [WATCH]

President Donald Trump criticized Democrats during remarks at the G7 conference in France, pointing to controversy surrounding Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner and arguing that Democrats have applied a different standard to one of their own candidates after years of comparing him to Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany, as reported by Townhall.

The comments came as Trump responded to a question from reporters regarding polling that suggested Democrats were in a favorable position ahead of the November midterm elections.

While speaking with reporters, Trump dismissed the polling and criticized major news organizations.

“The polls are very dishonest, just like a lot of reporters, like these people over here, are very dishonest. CNN, ABC, it’s a whole group of them over there. Really dishonest people,” Trump said.

The president then argued that Republican support was improving despite polling narratives.

“The generics are very interesting because the Republicans are coming up strong even before this,” Trump said.

Trump then referenced Platner, whose Senate campaign has faced scrutiny following reports about a tattoo on his chest that has been identified as a Nazi-related symbol.

“You know why? They’re seeing all these lunatics like the guy in Maine with the swastika. You know, for 10 years they’ve been calling me a Nazi. And now they have a Nazi running. He’s got a tattoo on him. I’ve been denying it for 10 years,” Trump added.

The tattoo controversy has become one of the most significant issues facing Platner’s campaign.

Platner previously apologized for the tattoo and said he was unaware of its origins when he got it. However, subsequent reporting has raised questions about that explanation.

According to reports, text messages involving Platner and his former girlfriend, Lyndsey Fifield, have drawn renewed attention to the matter.

CNN reported that Platner referred to the tattoo as “my Totenkopf” in messages exchanged with Fifield. The German term translates to “death’s head” and is associated with a skull-and-crossbones emblem used by the Nazi SS.

The report also cited messages sent by Fifield to friends during their relationship in which she allegedly wrote that Platner “has a Nazi tattoo on his chest.”

The controversy has become a flashpoint in the Senate race and has generated criticism from Republicans, who have pointed to years of rhetoric from Democratic politicians and activists comparing Trump to Hitler or accusing him of promoting Nazi-like policies.

Several prominent Democrats have made such comparisons in recent years.

During an appearance on MSNBC, Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas said, “I’ve called him so many thing, but wannabe Hitler for sure.”

During the 2024 presidential campaign, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton argued that Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden resembled a Nazi rally. Similar comparisons were made by other critics of the event.

Former President Joe Biden also previously criticized Trump’s rhetoric, describing it as “Hitler language.”

Beyond the tattoo controversy, Platner has also faced scrutiny over past social media activity. Reports have highlighted posts in which he mocked black people and rural voters.

Additional criticism has centered on posts in which he was accused of minimizing sexual assault allegations.

The controversy continues to generate attention as the Maine Senate race moves forward and both parties intensify efforts ahead of November’s elections.

Trump’s remarks at the G7 conference ensured that the issue remained in the national spotlight, adding another layer of scrutiny to a race that has already drawn significant political attention.
