“No one, whether you’re trans or not, wants the federal government digging through your identifiable patient information and figuring out what they like and don’t like,” Hack said. “It’s an absolute overreach, and people are really scared.”

Asked whether Hack’s priorities were measures he could support, Platner agreed. “Yes, indeed. They most certainly do,” he said.

    A lot of people have tattoos they don’t know the meaning of, and a lot of people aren’t familiar with nazi iconography, apart from the swastika.

    People accusing him of being a Nazi sympathizer because of his tattoo are incredibly shortsighted.

      I’m accusing him of being a liar or being fucking stupid, both of which should be disqualifying if Americans weren’t mostly fucking fascists. I don’t think he’s a nazi I think he’s a fucking moron or a liar. Both are bad. Still better than Collins because that’s where the bar is now. Reading comprehension is important. I’m accusing everyone making bullshit excuses about the nazi tattoo nazi apologists because they’re making apologies for Nazi shit.

        I don’t think he’s a nazi

        Well if you don’t, why are you focussing so much on the tattoo? Just file it under “stupid things he did when he was younger” and move on. It might be offensive to some people, but that’s the price for freedom of speech.

          Because he’s either lying about knowing what it was or he unwittingly had a Nazi tattoo on his chest for 18 years and I think that deserves a big fuckin helping of scrutiny, because both those options look real fuckin bad. Not as bad as Collins but why are y’all making excuses for literal Nazi tattoos? Like, fuck. This really is America.
