"You campaigned with Graham Platner ahead of that state's very pivotal Democratic primary. And I wanted to ask you about something you said. You said he's your kind of man. And I've interviewed you for a long time and watched your hearings and listened to your questions. You care about character, Eisen began, adding: This is a guy that had a chest tattoo with a Nazi symbol."
"He praised military tactics used by Hamas, reportedly, in comments online and Reddit when they were murdering Israeli soldiers. So I'm just curious why you think he's your kind of man?"
"And let me tell you exactly how that comment came to be. I was describing how I didn't know Graham Platner from anybody. And I'm reading an interview with him, and he's asked, When did you first know that the game was rigged?"
"Graham Platner's answer on when he knew the game was rigged was when not one banker went to jail. And I said, That's my kind of man."
