The New Jersey Assemblyman criticized for posing in front of a Confederate flag in a photo he posted to his Facebook page apparently has something just as offensive up his sleeve — a tattoo of the Stars and Bars on his left arm.
The tattoo appears in multiple photos of Assemblyman Parker Space posted on a Sussex County-based blog called Skylands Patriot.
In the snaps, Parker wears short sleeved shirts that show the flag on his left inner bicep.
The Assemblyman’s chief of staff, Lou Crescitelli downplayed the tattoo, telling Politico that it represents the Dukes of Hazard, a TV show from the 1980s.
Last week, Space posted on his Facebook page a photo of himself and his wife standing in front of a Confederate flag superimposed with the face of country singer Hank Williams Jr. The flag included this Williams lyric: “If the South would’ve won, we would’ve had it made.”
“Hope no one is offended! LOL!” Space captioned the photo — later removing the “LOL.”
“I thought it looked cool with Hank on it,” Space “explained” after the photo emerged last week.
