Not that it matters, but I have traced her ancestry extensively going through multiple generations and centuries. This is not true and appears to simply be echoing false claims made by prominent white supremacist Peter Brimelow.

I gather that everyone here is 100% certain Graham Platner is a Nazi antisemite. I also gather you all are trapped in an epistemic chamber sealed tighter than the one around Fox News. So, who here actually knew that Platner’s wife is Jewish? And how does that influence your certainty?

Two things: 1. there are other people running as Dems without Nazi tattoos, and 2. Dems don't "find" people to run; people decide on their own if they want to run. Platner decided to run, and he's the one who's hanging on hard - though he still has a surprising number of supporters, given tattoo.

not sure how extensive it is, but many want him because he's iconoclastic. Seems like a regular guy, not a politician. They think he generates excitement that normal politicians just don't. I don't think he's a nazi, but also don't know if he's the guy to take down Collins. I'm hoping it works out.
