The context is that he was posting on a news article about a fake police officer with SS tattoos carrying weapons to intimidate BLM protestors in Las Vegas.

I used samac.io to search his deleted comments.
A few more comments:
To be fair, I didn’t recognize the symbol, but I’m also like a newborn when it comes to ppolitics. If someone told me a tattoo (on me or a friend) was a nazi symbol, I’d be immediately working to get it off my body and making sure my friend did the same (if they wanted to stay my friend, anyway). This guy being told he has a nazi tattoo and saying it’s just what you do in the military is very sus.
Yes, to be clear, I’m not accusing people who are simply actually unaware of it of anything. However, it’s an incredibly well-known symbol that the nazis used, maybe right behind the swastika and the SS symbol. Someone who is a politician and has had it tattooed on their body for 20 years could not be unaware of what it means.
It’s also already been shown through his deleted r*ddit posts defending other people’s SS tattoos that there’s no way he was unaware.
Most honest AmeriKKKan veteran, tbh
