Sen. Elizabeth Warren spent weeks in 2025 writing a 33-page letter interrogating Pete Hegseth over his "Deus Vult" tattoo during his confirmation for Secretary of War. A Christian phrase on a veteran's arm was apparently a five-alarm emergency for the Senator from Massachusetts. Fast forward to 2026, and Warren just endorsed Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner — an oyster farmer with a Nazi-linked chest tattoo who once wished death on a wounded American veteran.
Guess which tattoo Elizabeth Warren thinks is disqualifying. Trick question. She suddenly can't speak.
According to Fox News, when confronted about her endorsement of Platner, Warren smiled at the camera, said absolutely nothing, and walked away. That's it. The woman who could fill 33 pages on the dangers of a Latin cross had zero words — not one syllable — about a Nazi-adjacent tattoo on her handpicked candidate.
And the tattoo isn't even the worst part. Platner's old social media posts resurfaced showing he wrote about Purple Heart recipient Teddy Daniels: "Dumb mother---er didn't deserve to live. Poor marksmanship on the Taliban's part…" Let that sink in. A Democratic Senate candidate mocked a wounded American veteran and wished the Taliban had finished the job.
Warren saw all of this and declared, "That's my kind of man!"
Platner, who previously ran as a GOP candidate before switching sides, tried to wave it all away by blaming PTSD from his own Middle East military service. "I'm sorry for this. Just know that it's not reflective at all of who I am," he said. "I don't want you to judge me on the dumbest thing I ever wrote on the internet." Convenient. When Republicans say something dumb once, Democrats want them banished from public life forever. When their guy does it, it's just a bad day on the internet.
Washington-area radio host Larry O'Connor didn't miss: "Yeah I could do this all day. And I have no doubt that is in fact her kind of man."
As for Daniels himself, the Purple Heart recipient took the high road. "I don't get offended. I've been attacked by the left for years," he said. The man survived Taliban gunfire. He can certainly survive Graham Platner's keyboard courage.
Platner is running to unseat GOP Sen. Susan Collins in Maine, and apparently the Democratic Party is so desperate for Senate seats that they'll back a candidate who mocks wounded veterans and sports Nazi-linked ink — as long as he has a D next to his name.
Remember: Elizabeth Warren wanted Pete Hegseth disqualified over a Christian tattoo. She endorsed this guy with a smile. The hypocrisy isn't just breathtaking — it's the whole brand.
