Rainn Wilson knocks ‘hypocrisy’ from Democrats, Republicans over Platner tattoo

Rainn Wilson is calling out “toxic partisanship” on both sides of the aisle, saying Democratic Maine Senate hopeful Graham Platner and his controversial tattoo have elicited “hypocrisy” from both Democrats and Republicans. 

“I think there has been a bias in the media toward more what we call liberal policies. But at the same time, there’s hypocrisies on both sides,” “The Office” star said in an interview with Fox News Digital released Sunday.

“Platner from Maine has this tattoo — they say it’s a Nazi tattoo. The political right is all up in arms about it, that [they say], ‘Oh, he’s a racist,'” Wilson said.

“But they won’t look at their own side when people show racist tendencies or say racist things. And it’s the same on the left. They’re willing to overlook the Platner Nazi tattoo, but if it was someone from the other side that had a tattoo that was questionable, they would be all over MSNBC about it,” Wilson said, referring to the network that has rebranded as MS NOW.
