Let’s be honest here.
How many people would have recognized that image as a Nazi symbol before thos became news? I wouldn’t have, skull tatoos are common. News articles had to tell is it was and show pictures of and explain what it had been some 80 years ago.
Maybe he knew it was a Nazi symbol, but I kinda doubt it given his political statements and the fact that any smart person running for office in Maine wouldn’t have got it removed long before.
But that means he’s not a smart person. That, along with the fact he is obviously prone to making poorly-informed decisions would give me serious pause about voting for him. Those are not the qualities of a good leader.

Smart people don’t know everything. Smart people change their mind when confronted with things they are wrong about or don’t know enough about.
