Unfounded smears like "look at this guy's totenkopf tattoo"

Past blemishes like "getting a Nazi tattoo"

"Unblemished" lmao. He didn't just have a Nazi tattoo, he signed up for multiple tours to go kill innocent people abroad and went back for more by joining Blackwater as a fucking paid mercenary. He currently wants the USA to build more warships. You can rehabilitate and reintegrate people like this, but handing them the keys to the castle isn't it. At most they should serve in support roles for the next 20 years to push forward someone who wasn't at one time a child killer. Chilling for a decade and popping up to run for office doesn't show anything. Republicans are disgusting devil people, but so is this guy.
