He should do a photo op where he gets the skull removed and has a hammer and sickle tattooed there instead.

EDIT: Ok, looks like he went with a Celtic doggie-knot thingie instead.

I really hate how I can't immediately and unequivocably dismiss this as a joke. Sign of the times, I guess.

Amid the frenzy, another Democratic candidate released his own shirtless photo to show off his arm tattoo of former President Barack Obama’s presidential campaign logo.

Reality continues to be stupider than fiction...
