‘Missing the mark’: Ex-Warren staffers face outrage over campaign tattoos eerily similar to Holocaust concentration camp numbers

Former staffers for Elizabeth Warren have been taken to the woodshed over tattoos meant to memorialize her ill-fated campaign – which just happen to closely resemble markings given to Holocaust concentration camp prisoners. Oops!

Intending to commemorate the Democratic senator’s failed bid for the presidency, at least two former Warren staffers thought tattoos displaying the hex code for the campaign’s “Liberty Green” theme would be a clever tribute – until Twitter caught wind of it. In an avalanche of criticism, netizens wasted no time in pointing out the obvious – albeit accidental – reference to Nazi atrocities proudly displayed by the two ex-employees.

While the comparison should have been immediately clear to anyone who’d seen the design, perhaps the staffers could be forgiven for a simple oversight, not making the connection to the dark imagery the tattoos might evoke. But in addressing critics online, former Warren campaign design director Raquel Breternitz dispelled any notion of a lapse in judgement, noting she had “thought about” the association to concentration camps, and decided to go ahead anyway, placing the ink where “it wouldn’t be seen on the outer arm.”

Did that happen when the young persons posted pictures of their tattoos to Twitter?

I don’t understand “liberty green” either!

Not sure who the bigger dumb-@sses are. The tattoo recipients or the members of the “outrage” culture who are always on the lookout for three degrees of separation from Hitler.

[Tax-chick]

Obviously it didn’t “take” as a political movement.

The mark of the scolding whiny beast.

Wbat do those nos. and letters mean, though? What do they signify? B7E4CF????

[LouAvul]

Actually, I think “B7E4CF” is my old license plate.

[a fool in paradise]

Supposedly a hex translation of some policy agenda of hers

We should rename the HPSCI (House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence) under Schiff to “The Dogpile of Dolts”.

They will soon learn how painful and expensive getting a black ink tat removed is.
