U.S. — Members of the Democratic Party from across the nation issued a statement clarifying that everyone is an evil Nazi except that one guy running for Senate in Maine who has a Nazi tattoo.

While the Democrats’ political strategy for years had been to label all sorts of people as evil Nazis, ranging from Republican politicians to concerned parents at PTA meetings. But after Graham Platner became the presumptive Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate, the Democratic Party sought to explain that the man with the skull-and-crossbones “Totenkopf” tattoo was definitely not an evil Nazi.

“Graham Platner is definitely NOT a Nazi,” said a Democratic spokesperson for the Platner campaign. “His tattoo is not a Nazi symbol at all. It’s a symbol of tolerance and love. But if you see a Republican with that tattoo, then it’s totally a Nazi tattoo. We hope this helps.”

While historians insisted that the Totenkopf symbol is strongly associated with Nazi SS troops and concentration camp guards from the Holocaust, Democrats assured the nation that this was just more “MAGA propaganda” from “literal Nazis.”

At publishing time, Platner had covered up his misunderstood tattoo with a less offensive swastika symbol, popular amongst Hindus to symbolize good fortune, to avoid any appearance of Nazi association.
