Democrat Jake Auchincloss refuses to endorse Graham Platner over Nazi-like tattoo

Rep. Jake Auchincloss (D-MA) said he finds Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner's tattoo, which resembles Nazi imagery, personally disqualifying. Platner is the only remaining Democrat in the Maine Senate race after Gov. Janet Mills dropped out. Auchincloss's comments have drawn criticism from some leftist Democrats.
