Graham Platner says his Nazi-linked tattoo was drunken mistake

16. Having gotten it in the first place, under those conditions, I would let that slide

because not everyone knows every symbol of Nazi iconography esp. not in their early 20's

But the story doesn't make clear when he came to know it was Nazi-linked and if it was more than a few weeks ago (which seems likely to be the case) I would consider it disqualifying as far as my own vote would go.
