Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts has just endorsed Graham Platner, who is running for a U.S. Senate seat in Maine.
Platner, whose political views align with Bernie Sanders, has been in the news for months now because he had a literal Nazi tattoo on his chest for years and made all kinds of problematic statements on Reddit in the past. Once the tattoo controversy became trouble for his campaign, he had it covered up with something else.
Elizabeth Warren apparently has no problem with any of this, because he’s a Democrat.

Warren endorses Platner in Maine Senate race
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) on Thursday endorsed oyster farmer Graham Platner over Maine Gov. Janet Mills (D) in the Democratic primary to take on Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) this fall — the fourth senator to back the populist candidate.
“He’s a combat veteran, an oyster farmer, and has inspired people with his populist agenda for a government on the side of working families––not the billionaires and giant corporations,” Warren said in a statement shared by Platner’s campaign.
“Graham will fight every single day to make life better for the people of Maine in the United States Senate,” she added. “I’m proud to endorse him.”
Platner in his own statement called it “an honor” to have the progressive senator’s support and described her as “an inspiration.”
