Another ex-girlfriend is accusing Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner of knowing the meaning behind his infamous Nazi tattoo, telling the New York Post the symbol reminded him that “the US was the evil bad guy overseas.” 

The unidentified woman, who claims to be a left-wing streamer, told The Post she was romantically involved with Platner in 2021 while he was engaged to his now-wife.

“As a person who is a leftist, I immediately looked at him and asked him, ‘Is that a Totenkopf?’ and he told me a whole, ‘he will hold this weight forever’ bravado sob story about how it was, but he decided to keep it as a reminder that the United States was the evil, bad guy overseas,” she told The Post. 

The Post reported that it corroborated parts of the woman’s account using text messages she sent to her mother in September 2025, as well as social media posts she published Wednesday night.  

“I very briefly was talking to and then consequently seeing Graham Platner from about February 2021 until mid July 2021 when it was revealed to me that he was cheating on his fiancée at the time,” the X account posted. “ He knew about the fu**ing tattoo.”

The woman also shared screenshots of messages she said she sent years before the controversy became public. In one message to her mother, she slammed Platner for his “Nazi tattoo” and “small d—k,” saying the Senate hopeful made “weird noises” and was “fu**ing around on his fiancée.” In another message to a friend, she wrote: “Better not take a peek at the Nazi tattoo on his chest.” 

“I think you’ll find that contrary to the current spin of his campaign, I am not in fact a ‘Republican operative’ hell bent on destroying his campaign, but instead am and have been very much on the left side of the political spectrum,” she wrote in another post. 

In a separate, lengthy statement on X, the anonymous woman said that during the pandemic, she moved to Maine and took a job as a housekeeper at a “glamping resort” outside Acadia National Park. Knowing no one in the area, she said she joined Tinder, a dating app that matched her with Platner.

The woman’s account is the latest in a series of allegations challenging Platner’s explanation of the Nazi tattoo. Earlier this week, his former political director also disputed Platner’s account and accused him of “a pattern of dishonest behavior.”

On Tuesday, Maine Democrats chose Platner to challenge Republican Sen. Susan Collins. In the weeks leading up to the primary, Platner faced a series of damaging revelations concerning his personal life, disturbing social media activity, and the tattoo controversy. 

The Daily Wire previously uncovered that the Senate hopeful maintained an active account on a social media platform known to attract child predators. Several media outlets reported that Platner, a married man, had exchanged sexually explicit messages with multiple women. 

Platner’s campaign pushed back on the new revelations. 

“Graham’s repeatedly said he picked a skull-and-crossbones tattoo off a wall in Croatia to commemorate surviving Ramadi and his friends who were killed there,” a spokesperson from the Platner campaign told The Post. “Graham has also since covered up the tattoo and answered countless questions about it.”
