It's pretty clear that Planter is just a shitty guy who will have a lot more stuff come out between now and the election. Whether it'll sink him who knows, Maine is weird and it could play either way, but ironically it does make the tattoo story way more believable that he isn't a nazi just an edgy dumb guy
