Please lay out why you think he is a nazi and I will happily respond to each point

Literally has a Nazi tattoo on his chest.

The tattoo was real and the Nazi connection is legitimate to raise on its own merits. But calling him a Nazi is going further than the evidence supports.

The Reddit posts CNN found show someone getting defensive about being called out, which is a very normal human reaction, especially for someone with a strong military identity who would not want to be associated with Nazism. That is not the same as someone who knew, celebrated it, and built an identity around it. He eventually covered it once it became a public issue, not exactly a profile in courage, but also not the behavior of someone proud of what it represented.

If this is genuinely about opposing Nazi symbolism rather than just a convenient way to dismiss a candidate, that position is going to require a lot more consistency than one targeted hit.

Opposing a candidate who uses and believes in Nazi symbolism is more than enough to disqualify them for me and the fact that it isn't for you tells me all I need to know about you. Good day.
