VA Dem compares DOGE job cuts to killing Jews in Europe

"Job cuts? Really?"

"First they came for the gays, but I wasn't gay so I did nothing. Then they came for LGBTQ+1 but I had no idea what it all meant, so I did nothing. Then they came for job cuts; but I was unemployed and not looking, so I did nothing. Then they came for my soul, but I was a Democrat and only pretended to have one, so I did nothing."

A hyperbolic Virginia state delegate compared DOGE cuts to the Holocaust because it wasn't an actual person he could compare to Adolf Hitler, so one of the world's most evil point in history was used to compare President Trump's work with Elon Musk to decrease budget spending and bring down the nation's debt.

Republicans called this dilution of what actually was the Holocaust "utterly insensitive and hyperbolic." Yeah, just a tad hyperbolic you might say.

Brandon Cole, (Dummy--Fredericksburg) lifted the famous quote from the German pastor Martin Niemöller who spoke out against the Nazi regime. Cole's use of the Holocaust is a frequently used, disgusting ploy by the Democrats to imply how immoral the GOP is, but in truth, saving the nation's future generations from crushing debt is the moral thing to do. And what does it have to do with killing Jews, Gypsies and gays anyway?

House Minority Leader Todd Gilbert (R-Woodstock) said Cole should apologize to Holocaust survivors and "every citizen of Virginia" for associating DOGE's targeting of useless government jobs to the extermination of millions of Jews by German Nazi turds [my words, not is].

"Comparing the loss of some government jobs to the Holocaust is an insult to the memory of the millions who were slaughtered [by the Nazi regime]," Gilbert said.

During a hearing of an "emergency" panel addressing the effects of DOGE on the Virginia workforce, Cole claimed that his constituents are within the congressional district that has the highest concentration of federal workers in the state.

Cole misrepresents a portion of Rep. Eugene Vindman’s, (D-VA) 7th District. Democratic Rep. Don Beyer’s 8th District to the north in Alexandria houses more federal workers, according to the Virginia Public Access Project, but it isn't clear if they actually work.

"I must say that I have seen so many different people on social media rather excited about these [DOGE] cuts; rather excited about these job losses," Cole said. 

"And that reminds me of a quote from a long time ago that said: 'At first they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't Jewish. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. And then when they came for me, there was no one to speak up because everyone had been taken.'"

Seriously? 

These people are not ammunition to make your points

What an ass. If it isn't comparing Republicans to Hitler, it's comparing policies to the Holocaust. The country is tired of this lazy rhetoric and that is exactly why Trump destroyed Harris in the 2024 presidential election.
