73. Well, she got the tattoo after WWII

I strongly suspect. Or I need to take what she's been taking. I look and feel like shit this last year.

In seriousness, I'm not accusing her of being Nazi. But is a curious tattoo and one that she should probably answer about.

It could be "I was a stupid git, drunk, and 18 and didn't think about it." Or whatever.

But it's very curious tatoo for a Democratic politician to have, and an explanation needs to be made.

Failing to provide an explanation leads me to suspect that the reason is a bad one.
