Fox News getting mad about Nazi tattoos is fake outrage. Pete Hegseth has as many Nazi tattoos as Graham Platner, if not more. I would be surprised if Kegsbreath was not mandating everyone in the US military to get Nazi tattoos.

I don't trust Platner. I read through many of his deleted reddit comments and he explained on his reddit account that he knew what Nazi tattoos are and defended other people in the military having them as well.

However, the idea that Fox News is outflanking anyone on being against Nazi tattoos is absurd. You might say the headline is 'bad faith'. They're only pretending to be against Nazi tattoos. If they actually hated Nazis tattoos, they would have criticized Pete Hegseth for it.

Unless I'm mistaken and forgetting one of Pete's... Pete has "Nazi" tattoos (the crosses and "infadel") whereas Platner had a NAZI tattoo like the SS would've had on their uniform.

Distinction without difference here maybe idk

Pete Hegseth has crusade tattoos to symbolize that he's a christian fascist who is religiously motivated to kill Muslims. He thinks that the tattoos represent a war against Muslims and he wants to kill Muslims.

I don't a see a distinction between American Christian Fascists and German Fascists.
