Republicans engage in Holocaust revisionism to justify their pro-gun platform
The Democratic-controlled Michigan state Senate recently passed a series of 11 gun-related measures. These included expanded background checks and safe storage laws for guns that can be accessed by minors.
In response, the Michigan state Republican Party posted a tweet comparing gun reform to the Holocaust. The tweet included a photo of wedding rings that had been removed from Holocaust victims with text overlay stating, “Before they collected all these wedding rings… they collected all the guns.”
The tweet then said, “#History has shown us that the first thing a government does when it wants total control over its people is to disarm them. President Reagan once stated, “if we lose #freedom here, there is nowhere else to escape to. This is the last stand on Earth.” #2A #GOP”
The chair of the Michigan Republican Party, Kristina Karamo, defended the tweet, saying people get “way too offended” and that the posts were not meant to instigate controversy. Rather, the purpose was to “point to history.” Unfortunately, they used their middle finger in pointing to false and revisionist history.
