I mean don't get me started on Platner fans who claimed it's strange his opponents talk so much about the SS tattoo that Platner had for a very long time and how that talk is "too much, something is going on here" and "salting the earth".

When your candidate is basically a bunch of red flags in a trench coat, then yeah, obviously the other campaigns will talk about these red flags. That's campaigning 1.0 and not noteworthy.
