Auschwitz officials chastise Rep. Clay Higgins for gas chamber video (Congress, Israel)

[Pruzhany]

Why?

Officials at the Auschwitz‑Birkenau Memorial and Museum chastised a U.S. congressman who recorded a video in which he lobbies for a strong military and tight homeland security from inside a gas chamber at the Nazi death camp in Poland.

The Coalition for Jewish Values, an Orthodox rabbinic organization which represents hundreds of Orthodox rabbis in the US, issued a statement in defense of a US Congressman

The "horrors" came from internal government actions. It didn't come from the "evils of the world". Watches to me to be too close to a campaign ad. No, that is not a proper place for that.

Right message, wrong venue.

When did the Holocaust become a convenient analogy to use for EVERY DAMN thing!

This is stupid. Auschwitz is a burial ground for millions of people. It's not some trivial backdrop of tyranny gone haywire. All this Godwin s*** really gets on my nerves.

If you've gotta go this far to make a case for wasteful military spending, then you've already lost the argument.
