Idk what is most surprising here:

  • he hasn't gotten it covered (apparently had since 2006)
  • this made it through the pod save edit to be shown on their video
  • pod save had him on

Wonder what the excuses will be this time on why it's okay he's still in the race as if he wins probably will be another fetterman.

Or maybe I'm so conspiracy brained I wonder if this is a way to make the ancient governor running look like the best candidate

I can expect him to denounce nazis.

[–] Pergoss@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago (3 children)

He's talking about it right now and he's not supporting this guy now

Why is a Nazi tat more disqualifying than being an unrepentant imperialist, is the next question he should answer.

[–] Horse@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 2 months ago

the ink explicitly indicates an ideology that could affect them whereas being a jackboot for the reich affects foreigners, who don't matter

Yeah, I'm pretty sure no tatoo ever slaughtered an Iraqi family

[–] fannin@hexbear.net 10 points 2 months ago

Good. Should have seen through him earlier.

[–] Blakey@hexbear.net 10 points 2 months ago

Yeah, but he was supporting him knowing that he went to Iraq four times, once as a literal mercenary. Hasan is a POS.
