Nazi Tattooed Democrat Candidate Graham Platner Mocked ‘American Sniper’ Chris Kyle

By Pamela Geller - on May 21, 2026

Despite Platner’s Nazi resume, Democrats continue to support him full-throatedly. And his Nazi worship is just the tip of the iceberg.

Free Beacon: Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner (D.) suggested that legendary “American Sniper” Chris Kyle shot innocent civilians in Iraq in order to inflate his kill numbers. Platner also bristled at the idea of the former Navy SEAL and his platoon being dubbed “heroes.” Platner, running for Senate against Sen. Susan Collins (R.), lashed out at Kyle and members of the SEAL’s “Task Unit Bruiser” in a May 2024 podcast interview on Green Beret Chronicle Show in which Platner, a former Marine, discussed his deployment in 2006 to Ramadi, a hotbed of insurgent activity during the Iraq war. In the interview, Platner—who did not belong to an elite Special Forces unit like the SEALs—took issue with public portrayals of Task Unit Bruiser and Kyle as heroes of the Iraq war…. Platner claimed members of Task Unit Bruiser, led by then Navy SEAL commander Jocko Willink, shot unarmed civilians from their position at the Government Center in Ramadi, where American forces were stationed throughout 2006 (Free Beacon).

🚨 PATHETIC! Maine Dem Senate candidate Graham Platner just got caught mocking a wounded Purple Heart hero, literally wishing the Taliban had finished the job.

This disgusting piece of trash said:

Maine Dem Senate candidate Graham Platner also got caught mocking a wounded Purple Heart hero, literally wishing the Taliban had finished the job.

“Dumb motherf**ker didn’t deserve to live… poor marksmanship on the Taliban’s part is the only reason this mouth breather made it home.”

Human filth.

This is the kind of trash Democrats want representing Maine.

Senator Ted Cruz slamsmed Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner as a “self‑described communist” who had a Nazi SS Totenkopf tattoo on his chest, explicitly linking it to symbols worn in Nazi death camps where 6 million Jews were murdered.

“This guy is a self‑described communist… who put a Nazi tattoo on his chest. Not just a Nazi tattoo… a Totenkopf, which is the symbol of the SS.”

“Democrat after Democrat is traveling to Maine. Elizabeth Warren, Nazi communist, he’s my guy. One after the other after the other. They’re utter hypocrites.”
