Admitted Senate sleazeball nominee Graham Platner kept his hideous Nazi tattoo to remind himself “the US was the evil bad guy overseas,” according to an ex-girlfriend with whom he cheated on his fiancée in 2021.
The left-wing streamer, who spoke to The Post, is the second woman to say that Platner knew about the fascist origin of his Totenkopf skull and crossbones tattoo when he got it — despite his claims that he didn’t realize it was a Third Reich symbol until last fall.
Her assertions were backed up by texts reviewed by The Post that she’d sent to her mom in September 2025 in which she blasted him for his “Nazi tattoo,” “small d—k” and claims that he tarnished her reputation by using her to step out on his fiancée.
The woman also offered allegations Platner cheated on a second partner before his current wife — a now-ex-fiancée he was engaged to around that time.
“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 recounted.
The woman spoke to The Post on the condition her name not be used.
On Wednesday, the woman publicly shared screenshots of private messages where she described the Nazi tattoo. The messages to her mother were dated Sept. 26, 2025 — before his tattoo was publicly known.
“Better not take a peek at the Nazi tattoo on his chest,” she wrote in another message to a pal.
She also included a screenshot of an image of Platner on a boat showing off oysters dated June 15, 2021, in Bar Harbor, Maine, not far from his hometown.
Platner told the woman someone in his military leadership suggested the whole crew get the skull and crossbones tattoo because he was a military history buff, the woman said.
She said she met Platner on Tinder and texted with him for months before dating him in 2021 when she moved to Maine for work.
“It seems like he tailored his answer to me, knowing my politics, since that’s one of the reasons we matched on Tinder in the first place,” she reflected.
The pair started talking in February 2021 and dated until mid-July 2021, she said.
The Post confirmed that the woman had multiple posts on social media alluding to a dalliance with “Graham” during that time period.
Last October, she posted that “Graham Platner’s a piece of s–t but not because he’s a communist.”
She alleges that their romance together ended after she found out from mutual friends that Platner was engaged to another woman around that time.
Here’s the latest on the bombshell sex allegations against lefty Senate candidate Graham Platner
Multiple sources confirmed that Platner had a previous fiancée before getting married to Amy Gertner in 2023, whom he allegedly cheated on via sexting in a bombshell story that broke last month.
The former fiancée declined to speak with The Post.
“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.”
“Unlike Susan Collins, who refuses to take questions on her disastrous vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh, gut rural hospitals, and supported every foreign war of the last thirty years.”
The whistleblower told The Post she never wanted to come forward with her story but became concerned by what she saw as Platner’s lying to the people of Maine about his tattoo, and a pattern of behavior toward women she saw in recent news reports.
She said she does not have her old texts with Platner because she deleted all his messages when she found out he was cheating.
The woman underscored that Platner was never violent and never did anything without her consent during their time together.
Critically, she is not the first woman to have screenshots of private messages describing the tattoo before it became publicly known last October that he had ink on his chest resembling a Totenkopf or “Death’s Head” symbol used by the Schutzstaffel or SS.
Earlier this month, another former flame of Platner’s, Lyndsey Fifield, told The New York Times that he was lying when he claimed to be unaware of the Nazi tattoo, recounting how he’d call it “my Totenkopf.”
“I would never have known what that was,” she told the outlet. “He would joke about it being a Nazi tattoo.”
The outlet reviewed messages from Fifield last summer where she told friends that he “has a Nazi tattoo on his chest.” She said he told her he got it because “they were like a death unit, they were killers” and he saw parallels to the Nazi SS.
Platner has been emphatic that he didn’t know the skull and crossbones tattoo resembled Nazi imagery. His allies have highlighted Fifield’s work history in conservative circles.
“Well, she certainly didn’t send that text to me,” Platner told MS NOW’s “All In with Chris Hayes” when asked how Fifield knew it was a Nazi tattoo in August of last year, but he didn’t know that.
“I certainly didn’t know,” he added. “They didn’t tell me that.”
Platner, who has since inked over it with a Celtic knot featuring dogs, has vehemently denied knowing the Nazi ties of the tattoo when he got it in 2007 while drunk in Croatia.
Earlier this month, Phil Proschko, a Marine who served alongside Platner and attended a town hall of his, told the Zeteo media outlet that they “did not purposely get hateful f—ing shit because we’re racist people,” but rather “got matching tattoos because we were in our 20s, drunk in Croatia.”
Platner has also publicly stressed that he had been screened for hate symbols when undergoing a full background check to join the Ambassador to Afghanistan’s security detail, and concern about the tattoo never came up.
His campaign also previously released footage of him dancing shirtless at his brother’s wedding when he still had the original tattoo and noted that he had Jewish relatives present.
