Emma Vigeland, a co-host of a political podcast, stated she would support a "secret Nazi" if they voted in alignment with Democratic Socialists of America positions.
Her comments surfaced as Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner faced scrutiny over a tattoo widely interpreted as a Nazi reference.
Platner later exited the Senate race following separate allegations of sexual misconduct.
The tattoo and his departure drew responses from prominent progressive figures, including Senator Bernie Sanders, who publicly defended the candidate.
