The guy who runs The Nation (he also founded Jacobin) defended Platner on twitter

🇺🇦 Banquo Dyar, Democrat @banquodyar.bsky.social · 6h

I think this is true about Bluesky but over on twitter it’s a completely different story — every prominent leftist is defending, Grim, Vigeland, Jacobin, The Nation, Piker, the pod bros and on and on.

Claiming he is working class, claiming he didn’t know he had Nazi tat, excusing his Blackwater work, excusing his bigotry on Reddit, infantalizing him — and leftists will excuse whatever comes next with this lying scumbag

He has had the Nazi tat for 20 years — in fact he still has it just now with a wolf tat around it — no one believes he didn’t know what it was

So...this is an interesting screenshot.

also, how does Platner claim that he had no idea what a Totenkopf was or that his tattoo was one until a week ago when this Reddit conversation he was part of 6 years ago was all about a soldier with a Totenkopf where people discuss the difference between an SS Totenkopf vs. a Punisher skull etc.

Screenshot of article that reads: Trump represents our University’s values and ethical convictions like no other. He has not only provided the political climate and resources for the University to turn into the empty shell that it now is, but has also given so many in our leadership the inspiration to crack down on civil and constitutional rights, attack academic freedom and turn their back on common human decency.

Screenshot of article that reads: We are denying children gender-affirming care, we made cuts to diversity, equity and inclusion programs and we laid off relevant staff and faculty. We have proven that we have no hard moral principles and no hill on which we will die. Everything we once stood for has now melted into air and been thoughtlessly sacrificed to preserve our organization’s financial and political standing.

You seem to have glossed over his remarks about Black people, rape in the military and gays. Then again, I'm never surprised at the ignorance of high and mighty independents who think they have it all figured out and easily wash their hands of everything because nothing is their fault.

The obvious lying about not knowing what the tat is is infuriating and insulting — leftists gaslight a lot

American Jews have known that there's been a growing antisemitism problem on the left for years, since long before Oct. 7th.

We knew that we'd have to confront it sooner or later, but for years it was overshadowed by the much more prevalent MAGA flavor of antisemitism stemming from the right. 1/

never mind. there is absolutely no best case scenario. here is a deleted post from a Reddit thread 6 years ago where Platner replied to someone who identified SS soldiers in an old historical photo because one of them was wearing a Totenkopf

Leftist campaign operatives can’t let those stranded millions go to waste — they will get their piece by spending it for Platner as he stays in the race

So often these WM who are held up as examples of making it despite everything(see Vance)are entitled brats who excuse anything they did before reaching 40. This guy went to war bc he wanted to blow things up, showed real hate for women & Blacks & proudly showed off his Nazi tat for yrs. F Bernie.

Just so we're clear.....AOC can't hold a candle to Lauren Underwood. Unlike AOC, Lauren Underwood ACTUALLY accomplishes shit in congress and ACTUALLY passed bills into laws that help her constituents.

Yes exactly this — a few no names showed proof of concept with the launch and then the Bernie pros like Joe Calvello, Rebecca Katz and even Faiz Shakir got involved

Also while that is going on on Twitter over here the leftists are trying to change history and say that they never were rocking with Platner.

White leftists ain't shit.

Btw Bluesky friends, over on Twitter all the prominent leftists are still on team Platner — Grim, Vigeland, Stoller, Piker, the trust fund pod bros, the Bernie campaign operatives, Jacobin, The Nation, etc etc — all the horrible baddies think Platner is still fantastic —
