Democrats are in a tough position in the Senate races in 2026, as there are few vulnerable seats for Republicans.
One of those vulnerable seats was supposed to be in Maine, where Susan Collins, who is a Republican senator from a very purple to blue state, looked to be vulnerable against the Democrats. The Democrat chosen to run by the party was Graham Platner.
Graham Platner is a Bernie Sanders acolyte. He&#8217;s a far-leftist.
And now he is in trouble.
He’s in trouble because he is a radical, insane communist who seems to like Nazis. I don&#8217;t know where all this fondness for Nazis is coming from, but it does seem like a bizarre number of people are kind of into the Nazis these days.
The reason this is coming up is because Graham Platner apparently released a video showing him shirtless when he was drunk at some sort of event, and displayed a Nazi symbol tattooed on his chest.
Axios <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/10/21/graham-platner-maine-senate-candidate-tattoo">reported</a>:
<blockquote>Platner drew the backing of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) as an anti-establishment outsider, but his campaign is already trying to clean up recently resurfaced Reddit posts where he espoused offensive views about Black people and sexual assault victims. Platner&#8217;s campaign shared video with Pod Save America of him singing shirtless that exposed a skull tattoo on his chest that resembles the &#8220;Totenkopf,&#8221; a symbol used by Hitler&#8217;s Schutzstaffel (SS). The move was intended to get ahead of opposition research, and the GOP&#8217;s Senate campaign arm seized on the images, accusing Platner of having a &#8220;Nazi tattoo.&#8221;</blockquote>
Platner then decided to go on the Pod Save America podcast, joining Tommy Vietor (former van driver for Barack Obama).
Platner said that the video was from his brother&#8217;s wedding, adding, “I am not a secret Nazi.”
It’s never a great political sign when you have to say you&#8217;re not a secret Nazi.
“I went to college,” Platner said. “I went to the gym, I did all the things. And at no point in this entire experience, of my life, did anybody ever once say, hey, you&#8217;re a Nazi. It never came up. Until we got wind that in the opposition research, somebody was shopping the idea that I was a secret Nazi with a hidden Nazi tattoo. And I can honestly say that if I was trying to hide it, I&#8217;ve not been doing a very good job for the past 18 years.”
Controversy has now broken out over whether he meant to have a Nazi symbol tattooed on his chest.

Now, I don&#8217;t know how many people accidentally have Nazi symbols tattooed on their chests. I feel like the number is relatively low. That&#8217;s not something you just randomly stumble onto. You get drunk one night and say, “Hey, let me get that Nazi tattoo here on my chest.”
Jewish Insider (JI) <a href="https://jewishinsider.com/2025/10/graham-platner-ss-tattoo-maine-senate/">reported</a>:
<blockquote>But according to a person who socialized with Platner when he was living in Washington, D.C., more than a decade ago, Platner had specifically acknowledged that the tattoo was a <a href="https://www.adl.org/resources/hate-symbol/totenkopf">Totenkopf</a>, the “death’s head” symbol adopted by an infamous Nazi SS unit that guarded concentration camps in World War II. “He said, ‘Oh, this is my Totenkopf,’” the former acquaintance told Jewish Insider recently, speaking on the condition of anonymity to address a sensitive issue. “He said it in a cutesy little way.”
The exchange occurred in 2012 at Tune Inn, a popular dive on Capitol Hill where Platner later worked as a bartender and was a frequent patron while he attended The George Washington University on the G.I. bill, according to the former acquaintance. He would often take his shirt off drinking with friends late at night at the bar, and on at least one occasion had stated he knew what the tattoo represented, the former acquaintance recalled.
Platner gave varying accounts of the image during this time, saying at one point he was aware it was a Totenkopf when he had first gotten the tattoo several years prior and at another time claiming he had not known, according to the former acquaintance. </blockquote>
That is why he&#8217;s revealing the video now, early, in an attempt to get past it before the vote.
JI continued:
<blockquote>Platner’s former political director, Genevieve McDonald, who <a href="https://www.bangordailynews.com/2025/10/17/politics/elections/former-maine-lawmaker-resigns-graham-platner-campaign/">resigned</a> from his campaign last week over her objection to his recently unearthed incendiary Reddit comments, said in a Facebook post on Tuesday that “Graham has an antisemitic tattoo on his chest.” “He’s not an idiot, he’s a military history buff,” McDonald <a href="https://image.jewishinsider.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/21135315/PHOTO-2025-10-21-19-24-33.jpg">wrote in the post</a>, which was reviewed by JI. “Maybe he didn’t know it when he got it, but he got it years ago and he should have had it covered up because he knows damn well what it means.”</blockquote>
This is not a gigantic shock coming from Platner because there were a bunch of Reddit posts that are pretty ugly as well. In one of them, he openly described himself as a communist. He called all cops “bastards” and dismissed sexual assault in the military. He also defended a man with a Nazi SS lightning bolt tattoo who later admitted to impersonating a federal officer at a BLM protest in Las Vegas in 2020.
What&#8217;s amazing about this — aside from the fact that Graham Platner seems to be a bit of a scumbag — is this the kind of stuff that would normally get you canceled, especially by Democrats (if you weren’t a Democrat).
Jon Lovett, one of the Pod Save America brothers, <a href="https://x.com/jonlovett/status/1980783543354810546">tweeted out:</a>
<blockquote>Only perfect candidates off the Harvard law conveyor belt pls, highly disciplined, all boxes checked, well liked and humble, absolutely no spiritual connection to having a physical body except for severe IBS, volunteered at a soup kitchen in high school, signs email ‘cheers,’ etc.</blockquote>
There&#8217;s a big gap between that and the drunken dude who is routinely spewing garbage and has a Nazi tattoo on his chest.
Also, Jon Lovett routinely calls people Nazis. Interesting how that double standard immediately applies.
Bernie Sanders <a href="https://x.com/igorbobic/status/1980703417229000878">declared</a>, “There’s a young man who served his country in Afghanistan and Iraq, and he went through some really difficult experiences seeing friends of his killed or whatever, and in spite of all of that he had the courage to run. I personally think he is an excellent candidate. I’m going to support him.”
I don&#8217;t think Sanders would be making the same excuses if the person were on the other side of the aisle.
When asked about Platner’s comments on sexual assault, Sanders then shot back, “Have you served four tours of duty?”
I love Bernie Sanders pulling out the patriotic military service card after spending an entire career ripping on the American military industrial complex and America&#8217;s foreign policy.
But in the end, this is the Democratic Party. It is all about power. It is not about actual, consistent argumentation. They are perfectly happy to have a self-described commie with a Nazi tattoo on his chest running for the Senate in Maine. If it means the Republicans lose control of the Senate, that&#8217;s it.
That&#8217;s what really matters to them in the end.

A Taylor Swift fan who accused the singer of selling a necklace with allegedly blatant Nazi symbolism has gone viral with her claims.
Also, the item has disappeared from Swift’s <a href="https://store.taylorswift.com/">merchandise site</a>, though it’s unclear if this was due to the accusations or because it sold out. Reps for Swift did not immediately return a request for comment on the controversy.
User sampire1513, whose profile describes her as “the friend that’s too woke” and “happily gay married,” posted a video detailing all the symbolism she saw on the necklace being sold on Swift’s merchandise website. The jewelry piece was meant to go along with the song “Opalite” from the singer’s newest “The Life of a Showgirl” album.
The video has gone viral on multiple social media platforms, earning 5.4 million views on TikTok and a ton of supportive comments.
The TikTok creator opened by mentioning the reception to the song “Opalite,” which she said has “racial undertones.”
“I am in the business of  listening to black women. I think they would know what a microaggression sounds like against them way better than I ever could,” sampire1513 began.
She said after seeing the necklace, she has decided that the song “Opalite” is “completely intentionally racial. And I am sick.”

The TikTok creator goes on to describe how the necklace has lightning bolts, but insists that the way these lightning bolts are designed is meant to represent something specific while acknowledging that the lyrics say, “dancing through the lightning strikes.”
“They are specifically SS lightning bolts,” sampire1513 continues. “Okay? It is not ambiguous. That is exactly what it is.”
She goes on with the conspiracy accusations.

“And then, if you&#8217;ll look, there are eight of them,” the TikTok user says. “Why does that matter? Because H is the eighth letter in the alphabet. Many Nazi, neo Nazi circles, gangs, will put an 88, meaning [Heil] Hitler, they&#8217;ll put it in their bios, they&#8217;ll tattoo it on their bodies, they&#8217;ll put it on their motorcycles, their leather jackets … I&#8217;m not reaching … the 88 thing is extremely common.”
Sampire1513 goes on to claim that the cross on the necklace is a “f***ing iron cross,” a German military medal.
The social media creator said after seeing the necklace, there are only two options.
“Number one, Swift&#8217;s team and Swift herself, they put this out, and they genuinely just didn&#8217;t know what they were doing. And it&#8217;s a complete happenstance that it resembles any commonly used Nazi dog whistles,” she said, noting that for this to happen, there would have to be no one on the team who is Jewish or who went through “cultural sensitivity training.”
“&#8230;Option number two, which is, she knows exactly what this is, and that’s what she decided to put out. What the f***,” the user said.
Sampire1513 demanded that Swift put out a statement condemning Nazism and hatred. “I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;m reaching at all,” she said in conclusion of the necklace’s alleged symbolism. “I think it&#8217;s clear as f***ing day.”
The user set her TikTok account to private Thursday as the video continued gaining traction online. X users called her out for the allegations.
“That’s some unhinged stuff right there. As someone who studied the 3rd Reich for many years at university &#8211; no, they don’t look like SS lighting bolts, those look like the last 2 letters in KISS. That looks NOTHING like the Iron Cross,” one commenter <a href="https://x.com/Davidwebrooks/status/1978750769584087290">wrote</a>.
“If you see a [lightning] bolt and think nazi i think there&#8217;s only one person obsessed with nazis and it aint taylor swift,” another person <a href="https://x.com/Swiftsbeatle13/status/1978575424427847890">said</a>.

We have seen a massive spike in the number of attacks on ICE agents over the course of the last six months, since President Trump took office and decided we were actually going to enforce our border.
On Monday morning, a 27-year-old man with a rifle and tactical vest was killed after <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-gunman-in-tactical-gear-killed-after-opening-fire-on-border-patrol-agents?author=Zach+Jewell&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=BREAKING%3A+Gunman+In+Tactical+Gear+Killed+After+Opening+Fire+On+Border+Patrol+Agents">exchanging fire</a> with law enforcement officers at a border patrol facility in McAllen, Texas.
Border Czar Tom Homan has said attacks on ICE agents are up nearly <a href="https://grabien.com/story?id=535014">700%</a>. Border Patrol Chief Mike Banks said Left-wing anti-police rhetoric is having something to do with the uptick in violence, <a href="https://grabien.com/story?id=535050">asserting</a>, “All of the rhetoric and the false information that&#8217;s been put out by the Left is just increasing violence against our agents, and it&#8217;s just unacceptable.”
The Left has been claiming for a very long time that if you use rhetoric that is too colorful, if you say things that are borderline, this can lead to “stochastic terrorism.” What you&#8217;re doing is creating a permission structure for terrorism.
As I&#8217;ve said before, unless you are actually excusing or inciting violence, you are not responsible for that violence. With that said, when you raise the temperature, there will be people who bubble over.
That doesn&#8217;t mean Bernie Sanders is responsible for the congressional baseball shooter, for example, but what it does mean is that when you keep saying over and over and over that Republicans are going to kill your grandparents when they take away Medicare or some other such nonsense — and then somebody goes and shoots a bunch of Republican congresspeople for playing baseball — at the very least, you should consider whether the language you used was well-calibrated.
This is the problem. The language currently being used by the Left with regard to ICE or Border Patrol is extraordinary. It sets up a permission structure that causes people who are unhinged to take their behavior to the next level.
In the same way, if you keep saying President Donald Trump is Hitler, at some point, someone might take you seriously and go and try to kill Hitler.

Here are just a few examples of members of the high-ranking Left going after ICE and Border Patrol in language that is completely unhinged.
Failed Vice-Presidential candidate <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVOrOkxeCD4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tim Walz</a>: “Donald Trump&#8217;s modern-day Gestapo is scooping folks up off the streets. They&#8217;re in unmarked vans, wearing masks, being shipped off to foreign torture dungeons. No chance to mount a defense. Not even a chance to kiss a loved one goodbye.”
Boston Mayor <a href="https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/1930630848832831496">Michelle Wu</a>: “I don&#8217;t know of any police department that routinely wears masks. We know that there are other groups that routinely wear masks.” 
Los Angeles Mayor <a href="https://www.courthousenews.com/newsom-files-emergency-motion-to-block-military-deployment-in-la/">Karen Bass</a>: “Which is why I say that I feel like we have all been in Los Angeles a part of a grand experiment to see what happens when the federal government decides they want to roll up on a state, or roll up on a city, and take over.&#8221;
Rep. <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2025/06/12/dem-rep-goldman-dhs-agents-are-using-gestapo-like-tactics/">Dan Goldman</a> (D-NY): “The combination of these Gestapo-like tactics with the fact that these are nonviolent, non-criminal immigrants doing things the right way &#8230;”
Rep. Alexandria <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/transcript/rep-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-blasts-conditions-at-migrant-detention-centers">Ocasio-Cortez</a> (D-NY): “I mean, in that last facility, I was not safe from the officers in that facility.”
Rep. <a href="https://x.com/DailyCaller/status/1933172641646416273">Stephen Lynch</a> (D-MA): “You know, my dad served in the Second World War. He fought the Nazis in Northern Africa. He fought the Nazis on the Italian peninsula. And I think he&#8217;s looking down right now, and he&#8217;s happy that I&#8217;m fighting today&#8217;s Nazis.”
There are a lot of prominent Democratic figures using this kind of rhetoric, and that language is going to have some sort of consequence.
It doesn&#8217;t mean they&#8217;re responsible for a person trying to shoot Border Patrol agents, but if you keep increasing the temperature and if you keep excusing violence on the other end — which, by the way, the Democrats have been doing for quite a long while, ranging from the sort of violence we saw during the BLM riots of 2020 to excusing the alleged murderous actions of Luigi Mangione on the streets of New York — you&#8217;re obviously going to lead to an uptick in violence.
You may not like President Trump&#8217;s immigration policy; that is your prerogative. But it is also the law of the land. You are not allowed to cross our southern border illegally and simply live here.
That is the law of the land. If you don&#8217;t like that law, you should talk to your member of Congress. If you don&#8217;t like that law, then you should try to change that law.
That&#8217;s how it works in a democracy.
You don&#8217;t get to simply call the people who are enforcing the law “Nazis” and “Gestapo agents” and then act surprised when people attack the supposed Nazis and Gestapo in our midst.

Longtime Democratic strategist James Carville invoked the Nazis and suggested that anyone who &#8220;collaborated&#8221; with President Donald Trump might eventually suffer the same fate as those who&#8217;d cooperated with brutal German dictator Adolf Hitler.
Carville made the comments on his Politicon podcast, where he referred to major corporations and law firms that were aiding the Trump administration as &#8220;traitors&#8221; and suggested they&#8217;d be ripe for &#8220;retribution&#8221; if the people were so inclined.

&#8220;Do you know what&#8217;s going to happen? Do you know how this ends?&#8221; Carville asked. &#8220;Do you know what the country is going to feel toward collaborators with this regime?&#8221;
&#8220;After Paris was liberated, they didn&#8217;t take very kindly to the collaborators,&#8221; Carville continued, referencing the way the French had treated those they deemed to be Nazi collaborators after Paris was liberated in 1944. &#8220;No &#8230; it was not a very pretty sight in the streets of Paris.&#8221;
Carville went on to claim that he wasn&#8217;t suggesting people take matters into their own hands, but simply laying out what could happen if they did so: &#8220;I&#8217;m not saying that these people should be placed in pajamas and have their head shaved, marched down Pennsylvania Avenue and spit on. I&#8217;m not saying that, but I&#8217;m saying that that did happen. And I&#8217;m saying that these people betrayed the French nation in the same way that I think that these law firms and these giant corporate conglomerates are betraying the United States. What their comeuppance is, I can only guess.&#8221;
He then tried to rein himself back in, noting that much of what the French had done to collaborators would be illegal in the United States and warning listeners against those actions.
&#8220;Spitting on somebody is an assault. I don&#8217;t recommend doing that. I guess involuntarily shaving somebody&#8217;s head is another assault and that&#8217;s illegal. Don&#8217;t — don&#8217;t do that,&#8221; he said. &#8220;But these people are a disgrace to the law firms they represent, to the companies that they that they represent and are supposed to be in their self-interest. And they’re a disgrace to the United States.&#8221;
&#8220;I think I’m going to start here as we go forward and give you a little bit of time, but we should have a collaborators hall of fame. There’s some people that just stick out as, in my view, particularly treasonous,&#8221; Carville said, later in the podcast. &#8220;Maybe we’ll have a system where we can, you know, vote people in &#8230; We’ll be accepting nominations.&#8221;

Argentinian conservative President Javier Milei has agreed to unseal records hidden for decades that would reveal how Credit Suisse and its predecessor banks helped finance escaping Nazis after World War II so they could evade justice.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
El Presidente Javier Milei recibió en Casa Rosada a las autoridades del Centro Simon Wiesenthal, quienes le entregaron una carta del Comité Judicial del Senado de los Estados Unidos, con copia al Presidente Donald Trump, para que la Argentina colabore con su investigación al… <a href="https://t.co/nKciEwl8HR">pic.twitter.com/nKciEwl8HR</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
In mid-February, Iowa GOP Sen. Charles Grassley —who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee investigating Credit Suisse’s historical Nazi connections — sent Milei a letter requesting him to unseal the records. “I continue to fight to shine light on the wrongs and injustices from this darkest chapter in history,” Grassley wrote. “This includes decades-long efforts to track the Nazis’ confiscation of all kinds of Jewish valuables and cash.”
Speaking of former U.S. Inspector General Neil Barofsky, who was appointed as the Independent Ombudsperson to comprehensively investigate Credit Suisse&#8217;s archives, he stated, “Despite the banks&#8217; best efforts at obstruction, Mr. Barofsky has uncovered a ‘significant connection’ between Credit Suisse and many individuals who helped Nazis flee Europe after World War II via ‘ratlines,’ which are monetary and logistic pathways used by Credit Suisse and other institutions to help Nazis escape justice and relocate to Argentina, among other countries.”
Barofsky <a href="https://www.wsj.com/finance/banking/nazi-ties-to-credit-suisse-ran-deeper-than-was-known-hidden-files-reveal-285ab620">had been hired</a> by Credit Suisse in 2021 after the Simon Wiesenthal Center found additional information regarding the possible Nazi connection, but he was fired when the bank felt he had gone too far. He was reinstated in 2023 after Union Bank of Switzerland (UBS) rescued Credit Suisse. In 2024, Barofsky told the U.S. Senate Banking Committee that UBS had fully opened its archives. Two separate panels said that Swiss bankers routinely ignored Nazis stealing Jewish assets and also later blocked families’ efforts to reclaim their money.
“The goal and motivation behind this work is to bring about justice and transparency,” Grassley continued. “Regardless of how much time passes, the truth is worth pursuing and the stories of this dark time period are worth telling and making part of the historical record for future generations. &#8230; I&#8217;m copying President Trump on this letter because my investigative work is being done out of profound respect for the brave and courageous men and women of the United States Armed Forces who fought against Hitler and the Nazis, and freed the courageous Jewish people from those evils &#8211; a sentiment that he would most assuredly agree with.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
At Senator Grassley’s request, President Milei agreed to open Argentina&#8217;s archives so the world can finally see how Swiss banks helped fund and coordinate Nazis escaping Europe after the war, then covered it up for decades.

After Minnesota Democrat governor and failed vice-presidential candidate <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/tim-walz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tim Walz</a> ranted on MSNBC that Elon Musk gave a Nazi salute after President Trump’s inauguration, it was suggested on Musk’s X that Musk sue Walz.
And Musk agreed.
Walz appeared on MSNBC with host Rachel Maddow on Tuesday night, and in the process of making several unhinged statements, such as accusing Republicans by saying, “They want to destroy the federal government,” attacked Musk, declaring, “We spent three days debating, having them try to debate if President (sic) Musk gave a Nazi salute. Of course, he did.”
That prompted widespread criticism, including from conservative activist Robby Starbuck writing on X, “Creepy Tim Walz says ‘of course Elon did a Nazi salute. I hope Elon sues him for all he’s worth.”

As per usual with the Left, calling conservatives nazis seems to be a ubiquitous meme for Walz. In late October, when President Trump held a rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City, Walz compared it to a Nazi rally from the 1930’s.
“Donald Trump’s got this big rally going at Madison Square Garden,” Walz <a href="//D5E64C52-3B2A-490B-BA70-63D349E222F8/v" target="_blank" rel="noopener">declared</a> in Henderson, Nevada. “There’s a direct parallel to a big rally that happened in the mid-1930s at Madison Square Garden. And don’t think that he doesn’t know for one second exactly what they’re doing there.”
Walz was apparently referring to an American Nazi Party rally at Madison Square Garden in February 1939 organized by the pro-Hitler German American Bund that over 20,000 people attended.
While Walz was making his comments, the Democratic National Committee was <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-madison-square-garden-rally-dnc-projections/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">projecting</a> digital messages on Madison Square Garden&#8217;s exterior saying, “Trump praised Hitler.”
If Musk does sue Walz, it could be devastating. “Walz&#8217;s net worth is estimated at between $117,000 and $330,000, with most of his assets tied up in a retirement account, according to the document,” CBS News has <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/tim-walz-net-worth-2024/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. “While his financial disclosure didn&#8217;t outline the value of his federal pension benefit, it could be worth as much as $800,000, according to an <a href="https://www.wsj.com/personal-finance/tim-walz-jd-vance-finances-money-ad08c67d?st=n7xb7ljda0fzfr6&amp;reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink" target="_blank" rel="noopener">analysis</a> by the Wall Street Journal.”

Tim Walz

Minnesota Democrat governor and failed vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz got positively wild-eyed talking about President Donald Trump’s plans to freeze federal funds, in the process repeating the Left’s insistence that Elon Musk— whom Walz sarcastically called President Musk — gave a Nazi salute at Trump’s inaugural.
“Republicans always want to talk about cutting government, Walz told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow on Tuesday. “That’s in theoretically. They never want to be specific because we know that these programs are incredibly popular.”
“I would say Rachel, that it was cruel; they planned it,” Walz moaned. “Yes, it was somewhat buffoonish but I’m not quite certain that we’re reading that right. I think this is a case of that this is a trial balloon to see how much tolerance we had. &#8230; It’s like you caught someone and they stole everything out of your house and you caught ‘em and you told ‘em to put it back and when you start lookin’ some of it’s still gone.”
He attacked GOP governors, declaring, “They’re never gonna bring this the legal way because no Republican will vote for this. And the deafening silence of Republican governors, these are my colleagues, some of ‘em are my friends, but shame on you.”
“They want to destroy the federal government,” Walz insisted. “This buyout of employees, because now they’ve threatened them.”
“The resistance is strong, you’ve felt it,” Walz declared, getting wild-eyed. “Americans, lo and behold, like democracy and feeding their children.”
“You know that overused term, ‘The frog in the boiling water?’ We&#8217;ve been in the damn pot way too long,” Walz said. “I think it’s speaking up. It&#8217;s thinking about your neighbors. It&#8217;s writing and putting those members of Congress – look, there is no spine amongst those folks – but this is real.”
Walz mocked Republicans for resisting Democrats calls over the years to defund the police: “They’re talking about defunding the police, things that they’ve puffed their chests up and say they’re good with, making their case.”
“To the voters, I&#8217;m with this too. Everybody&#8217;s fatigued. Trust me, I get it,” Walz complained. “It was pure hell, and the disappointment and the frustration, and I&#8217;m, you know, soul-searching – what could we have done to make the case? Because we knew this was coming. We knew the implication. And they&#8217;re throwing so much at us that we&#8217;re fatigued.”
He then attacked Musk, saying, “We spent three days debating, having them try to debate if President Musk gave a Nazi salute. Of course, he did.”

Podcast giant Joe Rogan sharply criticized the Left and media who have spent the last few days accusing billionaire entrepreneur <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/netanyahu-defends-musk-after-aoc-leftist-media-smear-him-as-a-nazi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elon Musk</a> of giving — and then repeating — a &#8220;Nazi salute&#8221; during one of President Donald Trump&#8217;s inauguration events.
Rogan chalked the furor up to a faction on the Left who &#8220;use woke ideology as an excuse to be an a**hole&#8221; and routinely compare every political opponent to Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler.

Rogan explained that pretending &#8220;everyone is Hitler&#8221; was a tactic generally employed by the &#8220;broken&#8221; who had no interest in contributing anything constructive to the greater political discourse.
&#8220;This is why they want to conflate and they always want to pretend that everyone’s Hitler,&#8221; Rogan explained. &#8220;The problem with that is, it just after a while, it’s crying wolf and people are like, ‘Oh, this is a bulls**t game you’re playing, and you’re just using it as an excuse.’ Elon has talked about this a lot.

&#8220;People use woke ideology as an excuse to be an a**hole, and it’s really just people that are a**holes that are attaching themselves to things that make them feel righteous,&#8221; Rogan continued, noting that they used that perceived righteousness as a shield while they continued to attack anyone who disagreed politically. &#8220;So they wrap themselves in this idea to give them virtue and to allow them to say the most awful things about other people that have different perspectives.&#8221;
Rogan went on to say that the repeated and &#8220;horrific, unfounded personal attacks&#8221; did not actually convince anyone, arguing instead that such actions would only make a person &#8220;less and less effective.&#8221;
&#8220;Intelligent, aware people who have control of their emotions recognize that. They’re not going to take your perspective seriously, so you’re going to be less and less effective with what you do,&#8221; he said.
Even Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu has come out in Musk&#8217;s defense in the days since the inauguration, saying that he did not believe the SpaceX founder had any ill intent when he made the gesture in question.

‘It’s Crying Wolf’: Joe Rogan Blasts The Left For Accusing Elon Musk Of ‘Nazi Salute’

'It's Crying Wolf': Joe Rogan Blasts Dems Accusing Elon Musk Of 'Nazi Salute'

Joe Rogan

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended Elon Musk on Thursday after far-Left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and others smeared him as a Nazi for a gesture that he made during President Donald Trump&#8217;s inaugural celebrations earlier this week.
Musk made the gesture at the end of his remarks inside Capitol One Arena when he told the crowd, “Thank you. My heart goes out to you.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
DO NOT BELIEVE THE MEDIA
The media is misleading you. Elon Musk never did a Nazi salute. Watch the full video: He simply gestured and said, “Thank you, my heart goes out to you.” <a href="https://t.co/e3vBaLoVqx">pic.twitter.com/e3vBaLoVqx</a>

Ocasio-Cortez made the accusation during remarks she made during an Instagram livestream.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t care what Elon Musk is doing behind a presidential seal,&#8221; she said. &#8220;In this country, we hate Nazis.&#8221;
&#8220;I like, you&#8217;re gonna do a Sieg Heil, you&#8217;re going to do a Heil Hitler &#8230; from behind the presidential seal of the United States of America?&#8221; she continued. &#8220;It&#8217;s on! It&#8217;s on!&#8221;

Netanyahu responded to accusations by saying that Musk was &#8220;being falsely smeared.&#8221;
&#8220;Elon is a great friend of Israel,&#8221; he said. &#8220;He visited Israel after the October 7 massacre in which Hamas terrorists committed the worst atrocity against the Jewish people since the Holocaust.&#8221;

&#8220;He has since repeatedly and forcefully supported Israel’s right to defend itself against genocidal terrorists and regimes who seek to annihilate the one and only Jewish state,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;I thank him for this.&#8221;
Even the left-wing Anti-Defamation League (ADL) defended Musk over the accusations.
&#8220;It seems that @elonmusk made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute, but again, we appreciate that people are on edge,&#8221; they said. &#8220;In this moment, all sides should give one another a bit of grace, perhaps even the benefit of the doubt, and take a breath. This is a new beginning. Let’s hope for healing and work toward unity in the months and years ahead.&#8221;
AOC fumed at the ADL&#8217;s statement: &#8220;Just to be clear, you are defending a Heil Hitler salute that was performed and repeated for emphasis and clarity.&#8221;
&#8220;People can officially stop listening to you as any sort of reputable source of information now,&#8221; she said. &#8220;You work for them. Thank you for making that crystal clear to all.&#8221;

Ireland has crossed every red line in its relations with Israel,” Sa’ar said. “Israel will invest its resources in advancing bilateral relations with countries worldwide according to priorities that also take into account the attitudes and actions of these states toward Israel.”
Ireland’s Taoiseach (Prime Minister) Simon Harris reacted, “This is a deeply regrettable decision from the Netanyahu government. I utterly reject the assertion that Ireland is anti-Israel. Ireland is pro-peace, pro-human rights and pro-International law.”

Popular radio host <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/charlamagne-tha-god" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Charlamagne tha God</a> weighed in on President Joe Biden&#8217;s cordial meeting with President-elect Donald Trump at the White House on Wednesday, and he admitted to having a hard time wrapping his head around how that all went down.
During his Thursday morning broadcast, he recalled how Biden — along with the rest of his party and a whole host of media talking heads — had been referring to Trump as a &#8220;fascist&#8221; or suggesting that he was the second coming of Adolf Hitler just days earlier. What he didn&#8217;t understand, he said, was how Biden had pivoted so easily from calling Trump an &#8220;existential threat&#8221; to inviting him into the White House for a pleasant conversation.

&#8220;I just don&#8217;t understand the White House visit,&#8221; he began. &#8220;Granted, I&#8217;m glad there&#8217;s a peaceful transition of power, but what happened to the threat of democracy talk? What happened to the fascist talk?&#8221;
&#8220;By the way, I know I&#8217;ve said those things about Trump as well,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;But I&#8217;m not talking about me. I&#8217;m talking about his political opponents like President Biden. When they say it, it holds way more weight than me. I&#8217;m just trying to figure out, how to you go from &#8216;He&#8217;s an existential threat to democracy&#8217; to &#8216;Welcome back&#8217;?&#8221;
DJ Envy, Charlamagne&#8217;s cohost, weighed in then, noting that Biden had looked happy during the meeting and had been &#8220;cheesing&#8221; for the cameras.
<a href="https://www.amiracist.com/?_gl=1*jtghwp*_gcl_au*ODQ1NjYzNTg2LjE3Mjg5MDk3OTE.*_ga*MTc2NzM0NDQ2NS4xNzI4OTA5Nzkx*_ga_CZKR9ZYKJP*MTczMDEyMDgwOS40OS4xLjE3MzAxMjA4MzkuMzAuMC4w" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+</a>
Charlamagne went on to say that he understood Biden held himself up as an advocate for certain political &#8220;norms,&#8221; but still couldn&#8217;t quite make it all make sense in his mind.
By the end of the segment, he appeared to give up entirely, saying, &#8220;I&#8217;m gonna stop minding white people&#8217;s business.&#8221;
The popular host had broached the subject earlier, asking last Friday why prominent members of the Democratic Party had suddenly stopped referring to Trump as a &#8220;threat to democracy.&#8221;
&#8220;Don’t y’all find it strange that now that he’s won, they’re not calling him a threat to democracy? They’re not calling him a fascist. I mean, damn, on Monday, they was just calling him that. I would think that, you know, if you really believe that, then somebody’s speech would be about how America ‘effed up and how things are about to be really bad. It just makes you wonder how much of it did they really believe, or how much of it was just politics. That’s all,&#8221; he said at the time.
