Fellow Marine corroborates Platner re tattoo

16. The accusation appeared in a story relating Lyndsey Fifield's experiences with Platner when they dated in the 2010s.

Fifield, a conservative activist who previously led a PR campaign defending Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh from allegations of sexual assault, accused Platner of being physical with her, among other claims.

Fifield told the paper that Platner knew his skull-and-crossbones tattoo resembled a Nazi symbol and had called it “my Totenkopf.” Platner has consistently denied this charge, which was first reported by Jewish Insider and CNN in the fall. Fifield appears to have been the source for both of those stories.

Jewish Insider has been characterized as right-leaning, neoconservative, and right-wing. The New Republic has described Jewish Insider as a pro-Israel media outlet which falsely accuses Israel's critics of antisemitism.

In September 2024, Jewish Insider published an article repeating a claim by Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel that Representative Rashida Tlaib had said Nessel was targeting pro-Palestinian protesters at the University of Michigan due to being Jewish. The false claim was debunked by the Metro Times. Jewish Insider later updated its article, revising the wording without adding a correction by changing "claimed" to "suggested".
