From Nazi tattoos to Nazi texts, Trump is making the right decision

It’s been a big week for Nazis here in the United States.

On Monday, Politico published a large number of… Leaked text messages From Paul Ingrassia, President Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, in which the lawyer said he has a “Nazi streak.”

Ingrassia’s inflammatory posts, culled from a GOP chat group, also denigrated black people, stating that “white people built this country” and saying one should “never trust a Chinese man or an Indian.”

When someone responded in the chat, telling Ingrassia that he sounded like a white nationalist, he replied: “It’s okay. Don’t be a boomer… I don’t mind being petty from time to time.”

And on Tuesday, not to be outdone, Graham Blattner, a far-left Democrat running for U.S. Senate in Maine, admitted that the Nazi SS insignia was Tattoo on his chest.

He did so in an interview with John Lovett, a friendly progressive podcaster, who played footage of a topless Blattner and asked him to explain.

“I’m not a secret Nazi,” Plattner said, claiming he got the tattoo 20 years ago when he was “very drunk” and had no idea it was a Nazi symbol.

Pro tip: If your actions have forced you to utter the phrase “I’m not a secret Nazi,” you probably don’t belong in the U.S. Senate.

Nazis to my left, Nazis to my right – here I am stuck in the middle with you.

But even though these two scandals happened within hours of each other, the reactions were very different.

Republicans easily He condemned Ingrassia’s commentsBy Tuesday night, he was out.

“He is no longer being nominated,” a White House official said.

Contrast that with the left’s reaction to Platner’s Nazi tattoo.

Senator Bernie Sanders stood next to him and said: “I personally think he is an excellent candidate.” “I will support him and look forward to him becoming Maine’s next senator.”

Lovett, a former Obama administration staffer, expressed anger that Plattner was subjected to any criticism – quipping: “Only idealistic Harvard candidates, please.”

“I would choose a candidate with an unfortunate tattoo over a candidate who steadfastly supports genocide,” former MSNBC host Crystal Ball wrote on Channel X.

There seems to be room in the progressive movement for someone who honors the perpetrators of a crime TRUE Genocide, but not for those who dismiss complaints about a fictional extermination in Gaza.

The people who drove Zionists out of the Democratic Party for a decade now want a tent big enough for the guy with the Nazi tattoo.

Of course, these are the same people who… Elon Musk has been called a Naziwho routinely equate Trump with Adolf Hitler and who accuse every conservative of being Nazi-adjacent.

For the progressive left, everyone turns out to be a Nazi except the guy who displays Nazi symbols on his skin.

Watching the left circle of wagons should be a lesson on the right in how to do it no To deal with the Nazis in your midst – because not everyone agrees to condemn them.

There has been a major divide between conservative pundits and influencers after Vice President J.D. Vance last week Refusal to convict Some young Republicans who were caught posting racist and Hitler-praising texts – and immediately lost their jobs.

Vance and others say cancel culture is the left’s bag, so caving in to leaked transcripts in liberal media is a mistake.

They are wrong.

You do not condemn racism in your ranks to gain support from leftists.

You do it because it is the right thing to do.

The left’s cancel culture wasn’t bad because racists were fired from their jobs; It was bad because the people who It wasn’t Racists were fired from their jobs.

You cannot build an effective political coalition with people who admire Hitler, or with people who cannot support the condemnation of those who admire Hitler.

You need moderates to win elections, not lords who refuse to shoot them down with ugly “vice signaling” rhetoric.

The left falsely smeared Trump as a Nazi for a decade while he ran on policies that were entrenched within the American mainstream.

They insisted that Trump voters were racist, a basket of deplorables.

But America realized the truth about this nonsense: his electoral base was not racist at all, and Trump attracted record numbers of black, Jewish, and Hispanic voters as well.

But now, some on the right seem to have internalized the hate speech offered by the left.

They did Apparently I accepted this idea Trump won by appealing to Nazis, or at least those who would rather not condemn them.

People: Do not condemn racism and hatred to please Libyans. You do it to protect your soul.

It is not the other person you have to face in the mirror, but you and your God.
