Dem rep denies that Graham Platner's tattoo is 'disqualifying,' says candidate 'took responsibility for it'
Democratic Rep. Seth Moulton defended Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner's Nazi-linked tattoo, stating it was not 'disqualifying' as long as Platner took responsibility, while fellow Democrat Jake Auchincloss called the tattoo and past statements 'personally disqualifying.' Both representatives criticized Republican Sen. Susan Collins as a greater threat to Maine voters.
