Talia Lavin accused Justin Gaertner, a combat-wounded Marine veteran and ICE forensic analyst, of being a Nazi sympathizer on her Twitter account. She thought a tattoo on his elbow looked like d the iron cross. In actuality it was a titan 2 and was the symbol of his unit in Afghanistan.
“To Justin Gaertner, I apologize, sincerely: all I saw in you was the photo ICE tweeted, and not the human being depicted inside it. It was uncharitable, and the hasty deletion doesn’t change that. I’m sorry and I have voluntarily resigned after three years at the New Yorker,” she tweeted."
