Republican uses frequently cited Holocaust quote to sell merch on his campaign site after remembrance day

The day after Holocaust Remembrance Day, North Carolina Republican Rep. Madison Cawthorn used a commonly cited poem from German Lutheran pastor Martin Niemöller to sell merchandise on his campaign website.

"First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me."

Cawthorn, who, ironically has attacked socialists and Jews, created his own version of the poem to sell t-shirts.

David Hogg: If someone like Marjorie Taylor Greene 'shoots and kills me, politicize my death' to strengthen gun laws

Mass shooting survivor David Hogg on Thursday gave fellow activists permission to "immediately politicize" his death and use it to pass strong gun violence prevention laws in the event that "some out of their mind person" like Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia shoots and kills him.

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York late Wednesday offered a damning assessment of the state of the Republican Party in the wake of Donald Trump's departure from the White House, warning that the GOP's ongoing refusal to condemn—and ready embrace of—the violent right-wing forces that the former president animated is "extremely dangerous" for the country.

"There are no consequences in the Republican caucus for violence," Ocasio-Cortez, a frequent target of deranged right-wing threats, said in an appearance on MSNBC Wednesday night.
