Sen. Elizabeth Warren<\/a>\u2019s vocal support for her controversial New England neighbor Graham Platner\u2019s Democratic Senate campaign is raising eyebrows in light of his Nazi-linked tattoo and a slew of resurfaced remarks, including an admission of getting aroused by smelling biocide in Port-a-Johns.<\/p>\n

Most recently, Platner was lambasted for appearing to wish the Taliban<\/a> had killed former Pennsylvania GOP lieutenant governor candidate Teddy Daniels after video of him under siege in Afghanistan surfaced:<\/p>\n

“Dumb mother—er didn\u2019t deserve to live,” Platner said in a resurfaced social media post about the Purple Heart recipient. “Poor marksmanship on the Taliban\u2019s part\u2026”<\/p>\n

On his podcast, Washington-area radio host Larry O\u2019Connor presented a mashup of Warren shouting, “my kind of man<\/a>,” with narration of Platner\u2019s uncovered foibles.<\/p>\n

UNEARTHED POSTS SHOW DEM SENATE HOPEFUL PRAISING VULGAR GRAFFITI, MAKING CRUDE PORTA-POTTY ADMISSION<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“Hey Elizabeth Warren, Graham Platner says that whenever he goes into a Port-a-John, he smells the blue water in there and he has to pleasure himself \u2014 how do you respond?”<\/p>\n

“That\u2019s my kind of man!” a clip of Warren intercedes.<\/p>\n

“Hey Elizabeth Warren, Graham Platner just said that [\u2018American Sniper\u2019] Chris Kyle \u2026 is actually a psychopathic murderer\u2026”<\/p>\n

“That\u2019s my kind of man,” the clip replayed.<\/p>\n

“Yeah I could do this all day,” O\u2019Connor quipped. “And I have no doubt that is in fact her kind of man.”<\/p>\n

When confronted by Fox News Digital<\/a> in Washington on Wednesday, Warren smiled at the camera, said nothing, and continued walking into an office building.<\/p>\n

DEMS SILENT ON PROGRESSIVE CANDIDATE\u2019S NAZI-STYLE TATTOO AFTER KNOCKING HEGSETH FOR CHRISTIAN SYMBOL<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Conservative commentator “Western Lensman” flagged a 33-page letter Warren had sent to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth<\/a> when he was under nomination consideration in 2025.<\/p>\n

Warren questioned Hegseth about a tattoo with a Christian phrase<\/a> tied to the Crusades \u2014 “Deus Vult” or “God Wills It” \u2014 and expressed concern about Hegseth reportedly being removed from former President Joe Biden\u2019s inauguration because “fellow servicemembers feel concerned enough about to report as a potential insider threat.”<\/p>\n

Lensman contrasted that objection to Hegseth\u2019s Christian tattoo with her silence on Platner\u2019s own chest tattoo considered German Nazi imagery.<\/p>\n

“It just tells you all the [the left\u2019s complaints about right-wing] White supremacy blah-blah is all performative nonsense,” he said.<\/p>\n

Bernadette Breslin, a former top aide to Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., offered a side-by-side of Warren crowing about Platner just weeks ago before appearing tight-lipped to Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

“Look how quickly she changed her tune once his baggage started becoming a political liability,” Breslin said on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n

TOP DEM LAWMAKERS DUCK QUESTIONS WHEN PRESSED ON PLATNER’S REDDIT SCANDAL<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The Republican Party<\/a>\u2019s rapid-response account RNC Research latched onto Warren\u2019s glowing words for Platner and is now using them for second-degree criticism.<\/p>\n

When Iowa State Sen. Zach Wahls, D-Iowa City, invoked Warren at an event and said he is “very honored to have her endorsement” in his US Senate bid to fill retiring Sen. Joni Ernst\u2019s, R-Iowa, seat, the RNC posted<\/a> context about Warren also endorsing the controversial Platner.<\/p>\n

“Warren has also endorsed candidates like Graham Platner \u2014 who got a Nazi tattoo, praised Hamas’ tactics<\/span><\/a>, and said women should \u2018act like an adult\u2019 to avoid rape,” they said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Daniels \u2013 who also ran for sheriff of Dare County, North Carolina last year \u2013 told Fox News\u2019 “The Bottom Line”<\/a> that Platner\u2019s comments are run-of-the-mill for what he\u2019s dealt with and that he largely dismissed them.<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t get offended. I\u2019ve been attacked by the left for years,” Daniels said.<\/p>\n

“This coming from a man whose party has no idea what a woman is, but yet he was online and saw a video of a man and had an emotional meltdown like a 13-year-old girl who just got dumped by her boyfriend \u2013 that\u2019s not the type of leadership we need in our government,” he added.<\/p>\n

MAINE SENATE CANDIDATE CITES COMBAT TRAUMA WHEN CONFRONTED ON ‘TERRIBLE’ POSTS ABOUT SEXUAL ASSAULT<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Platner has attributed his online behavior to PTSD<\/a> from Middle East military service and personal depression, saying in a statement that “I\u2019m sorry for this. Just know that it\u2019s not reflective at all of who I am.”<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t want you to judge me on the dumbest thing I ever wrote on the internet. I would prefer if people could judge me on the person I am today,” the oyster farmer added.<\/p>\n

Other Democrats besides Warren have also<\/a> become tight-lipped on Platner this week, as House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York claimed he had not seen the Reddit posts when confronted by a Fox News Digital reporter outside the same Washington, D.C., office building Wednesday that Warren had entered shortly beforehand.<\/p>\n

Platner\u2019s sudden spike in controversy now endangers Democrats\u2019 most-coveted Senate seat this cycle, as GOP Sen. Susan Collins seeks to continue her uniquely independent tenure as the last sitting federal Republican in office in all of New England.<\/p>\n
