Emma Vigeland, a far-left reporter and co-host of The Majority Report With Sam Seder podcast, shared that she has ‘no problem’ supporting a ‘secret Nazi’ as long as they vote according to her Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) views.
Just before Senate candidate Graham Platner’s exit from the Maine Senate race after he was faced with new salacious allegations of rape, Platner’s not-so-secret ‘Nazi’ tattoo hat tip did not appear to bother Vigeland.
Vigeland said on a Vox podcast that she doesn’t care if a progressive or socialist candidate has "Nazi" skeletons in their closet.
"I am wary of over-focusing on an individual's personal character over their platform."
"You know, I've said this before. I don't really care if say like Bernie Sanders or AOC go home and they're a secret Nazi, but they go out, and they vote for the right things. We're talking about politicians......"
Vox host Astead Herndon cut in, sounding surprised, and asked: "You don’t care?"
Vigeland laughed and began, "I mean..."
Herndon continued the awkward exchange, adding, "I'm like....I think these are the lines that people are talking about. Some people care about that exact thing."
Vigeland stammered, "But, but, but, but why would it matter if they're public officials and they are doing the right thing in public."
