Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner can be seen in a shocking new topless, towel-wearing selfie from his account on an app widely used for hookups – as it emerged the Nazi-tattoo-wearing Democrat sexted with numerous women outside his marriage.

In the image obtained by The Post from his Kik account, the left-leaning Platner is clad only in a towel — with his entire torso bare and multiple tattoos visible.

His head is cut off in the picture, but he is seen standing in a bathroom and apparently taking the photo of himself in a mirror.

Several tattoos, including one in an Asian script on his right chest and two arm sleeves, are visible, but his infamous “totenkopf” skull and crossbones tattoo was blocked by his hand.

The skull and crossbones imagery was the symbol of the brutal Nazi SS death squads that killed six million Jews during the Holocaust.

Platner, who once boasted of his “flexible moral compass” regarding cheating on one’s wife in a 2019 Reddit post, went by phustle0331 on the app, a moniker similar to ones he’s used on other social media websites.

The account was made in 2016, and Platner claimed he had deleted the app from his phone but didn’t delete his account, the Wall Street Journal reported.

Nearly 60% of Kik’s 15 million monthly active users are between 13 and 24, according to Forbes.

The app has been the center of numerous pedophilia scandals, the outlet reported, and was labeled a “predator’s paradise” by the National Center on Sexual Exploitation.

Platner’s wife even flagged to ex-campaign director Genevieve McDonald that she discovered he was sexting with 12 women, The New York Times reported.

A Platner campaign representative claimed to the outlet that Platner was only in contact with six women and had stopped communicating with them before launching his Senate run.

Amy Gertner told Platner campaign aides that she discovered the sexually explicit messages in late spring 2025 – the pair married in 2024.

She told staff in August about the messages out of fear they could become an issue during the campaign.

The Maine oyster farmer claimed he never realized the meaning of the hateful tattoo and said he got it when he was on leave from the Marines in Croatia in 2007.

His former campaign director slammed his excuse.

“Maybe he didn’t know it when he got it, but he got it years ago, and he should have had it covered up because he knows damn well what it means,” she McDonald wrote on Facebook.

Gertner said the pair see a marriage counselor and “work on their mental health every day” in a video statement posted on X.

“Graham and I have a great marriage, being married is hard, being newly married is hard, being newly married and going through infertility is hard,” she said.

Platner, who has been endorsed by Sen. Bernie Sanders (D–Vt.) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D–Mass.), has a history of crude and sexually derogatory statements on Reddit, where he boasted of sleeping with prostitutes and defended men who cheat on their wives.

“You don’t have much experience with Latin American hookers, do you?” Platner wrote an April 2012 Reddit post reported by Fox News Digital.

“I have many good buddies who lied and cheated with women, and yet were straight shooting hard men when it came to their work,” he wrote, referencing criticisms that soldiers who aren’t faithful to their wives would also betray their comrades in arms.

“Spend your leave banging hookers in Thailand instead of getting b—-ed at by the wife back home, and you could sell it as avoiding federal income tax,” Platner posted, discussing possibly in reference to a loophole federal contractors working abroad use to avoid paying taxes.

Platner has also posted about pleasuring himself in porta-potties while he served in the Marines.

“I still have to jerk off every time I sit in a portashi—er….that blue water smell conditioned me,” he wrote under an /r/ military thread.
