But they were freaking out over Hegseth's "Deus Vult" tattoo.
Yes that symbol was specifically on hats of officers for the SS.
Townhall had the perfect headline on this: "After Years of Calling Everyone Else Hitler, Democrats Suddenly Excuse Their Candidate’s Nazi Tattoo" - you can't make this stuff up anymore!
You have to admit that the party calling everyone Hilter or a Nazi, supporting a guy with an actual Nazi tattoo on his chest, is peak comedy. And shock of shocks, this guy claims he had no idea that tattoo was a Nazi tattoo. Funny, this is the same guy who said rural white people in rural Maine are racist and stupid. If they elect him, he’ll be correct.
Maine is beautiful, but man, I don't know what is going on there.
Maine resident here ☝️ We really don’t have any good candidates. Collins is the only New England republican (and I use that term begrudgingly) in DC. We’re 40% + of the population, but have almost no representation.
Y'all realize that 4 members of Portland's city council are Democratic Socialist Party members with Bernie Sanders?
As an ex server.....i can confirm.....they absolutely do not tip lol
