Now they aren't even pretending not to be Nazis

California governor candidate calls Auschwitz 'solution for homelessness,' sparks critisism

The Auschwitz Memorial Museum slammed Kyle Langford, Republican candidate for Governor of California, after his antisemitic remarks, calling out his actions as a “profound moral failure.”

“The instrumentalization of the tragedy of all those imprisoned and murdered in the German Nazi concentration and extermination camp Auschwitz for political messaging is a profound moral failure,” said the official Auschwitz Memorial Museum.

“Auschwitz is not a prop. Kyle Langford, your post is an affront to the dignity of the victims and a disturbing display of insensitivity and disregard for the horrifying human history.”

Langford, who is currently the leading Republican candidate in California, published a photo of himself at the entrance of Auschwitz with a text that said: “My 0% unemployment plan.”

He also doubled down after being called out by the memorial museum, posting a message that said his “German ancestors smile upon him” and thanked the organization for a “shoutout.”

Langford’s comments came as he aims to secure a spot as one of the two candidates to fight for the California governor, where he faces low chances of competing due to the nonpartisan top-two primaries system and the heavy advantage that Democrats have in the state.

That allowed him to focus on a campaign centered around explosive comments, with antisemitism being one of his main points when trying to show himself as “disruptive.”

His comments on Auschwitz came as a “solution” to the homelessness and unemployment crisis in California, while he also called the death camp a “beautiful work camp.”

I will say that Langford has an extremely punchable face.

Just remember, kids, it's always okay to punch a Nazi!
