Michigan GOP Chair Says Outrage Over Holocaust Tweet Was 'Completely Hilarious'

[RandySF]

After suffering a set of embarrassing defeats in last year’s elections, Michigan Republicans tapped their worst-performing statewide candidate, Kristina Karamo, to lead them back to relevance in 2024 as state party chair.

Unsurprisingly, however, Karamo—who once accused Beyoncé of spreading paganism and believes demonic possession is “real”—is already doubling down on the far-right rhetoric that doomed her own campaign for Secretary of State in 2022.

Speaking at a party function on May 17, Karamo laughed off concerns about a tweet from the Michigan GOP that invoked the Holocaust to condemn gun control measures, according to audio obtained by The Daily Beast.

The tweet amplified the popular right-wing argument that the Nazis’ campaign of systematic mass murder was possible because of gun ownership restrictions. On top of an image of wedding rings left behind by murdered Jews, the Michigan GOP tweet reads: “Before they collected all these wedding rings… they collected all the guns.”

1. Holy shit, what an asshole!

2. Would Trump's Nazi MAGAs also collect the wedding rings?

The MAGAs were very vocal, marching in Charlottesville, yelling "Jews will not replace us" and yelling about the ovens ready for the Jews again.

4. The entire militaries of Poland, France, Denmark, Norway, etc. had weapons

--and it still didn't matter. Private citizens owning weapons would not have (and did not) deterred the Germans in WWII.

Did they live in houses with leaded paint & asbestos filled drywall or something?

8. And a home with military weapons is no match for tanks

I mean we have the best military weapons and know how to use them.

9. Nazi's campaign of terror and mass murder...

Was made possible by the moral and spiritual capitulation of millions into a cult led by a psychopath, who absolved them of all responsibility as long as they carried out his will. As millions of magat sheep have capitulated to their leader.
