"Stew Peters isn't just a far-right conservative or a white nationalist; he's a neo-Nazi. Stew plays a central role in mainstreaming neo-Nazi propaganda to broader audiences. It appears that Graham Platner has now deleted this quote tweet, but it wouldn't have taken him much time to find out who Stew is."
"Stew Peters has long embraced anti-Semitic rhetoric, calling Judaism satanic and a death cult, while questioning the Holocaust. Last March, he echoed Nazi rhetoric by calling for a final solution to mass-deport the Jewish population in the U.S."
Graham Platner, a progressive candidate for U.S. Senate in Maine, shared and amplified a post by avowed Neo-Nazi Stew Peters criticizing bipartisan support for war with Iran. Platner added his own commentary condemning politicians sending others' children to die in Middle Eastern wars. The tweet was deleted within hours after being posted. Independent journalist Yashar Ali identified Peters as a Neo-Nazi who plays a central role in mainstreaming Nazi propaganda. Peters has a documented history of anti-Semitic rhetoric, including calling Judaism satanic, questioning the Holocaust, and echoing Nazi language about mass deportation of Jewish Americans. The incident represents another controversy for Platner since entering the Democratic primary against incumbent Senator Susan Collins.
