Nebraska state senator compares American flag to Nazi swastika
Washington Examiner ^ | Feb. 21, 2019 | John Gage

Posted on 02/22/2019 8:14:13 AM PST by rickmichaels

Nebraska state Sen. Ernie Chambers on Tuesday compared the American flag with the Nazi swastika on the floor of the legislature.

“I don't come here for this rag every day, and it's a rag. That's all it is to me,” said Chambers about respecting the flag. “When you show a way to persuade Jews to sanctify and worship the swastika, when you show me that I'll come up here and stand while you all hypocritically pretend that rag is something that it definitely is not.“

The comments were in response to a bill put before the Nebraska legislature that would update school civics requirements and make students more literate in “knowledge in civics, history, economics, financial literacy, and geography.”

State Sen. Julie Slama who introduced the bill said, “Sen. Chambers’ comments not only degrade a symbol of ultimate sacrifice for our nation, but they also minimize the horrors and millions of lives lost in the Holocaust.”

Chambers, a registered independent and part of Nebraska’s nonpartisan unicameral legislature, refers to himself as “the defender of the downtrodden.” He is no stranger to controversy, having attempted to sue God over “destruction and terrorization of millions” in 2007 and in 2015 calling the police “my ISIS.”

When the Washington Examiner asked Chambers’ office to clarify his comments, they said it was not the first time he had compared the flag with the swastika.

I have buried Black American Soldiers under that flag.

With a deep sense of pride, solemnity and honor.

I wonder what their families would say about this?

“Omaha. North Side. Black area...”

Yep, I suspected as such. Went to the Nebraska Legislature’s website. That pretty much confirmed it.

This clown is pretty much Nebraska’s version of Maxine Waters or Sheila Jackson-Lee. Long on mouth and vitriol - short on brains and common sense.

How is this guy a Rep of the people? His oath is to the State Constitution and the citizens——Sorry, I’m fed up with these communists. Stand by your oath or be tried for treason.

Chambers has long been an embarrassment to Omaha. If not the entire State. of Nebraska. Defended cop killers. Loves ISIS. Typical lunatic leftist.

Who the hell in Nebraska votes for scum like this?

The same bunch of dumbasses that vote for Maxine Waters, Sheila Jackson-Lee, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Nancy Pelosi, etc, etc, and nauseatingly etc.

Unfortunately, they are legion and getting worse.

And they are one and all and above all...Hillary voters and DU members.

Chambers has been around forever and is one of the vilest of the vile.

Omaha ghetto rep.

Conagra said ok and took it's thousand jobs elsewhere. Just one of many of Ernie's accomplishments.(He also held up NE concealed carry for years).

Yes, take a look at “Ernie’s” history. Was “distribution clerk” at the US Post Office in Omaha, NE, and was fired after “protesting discrimination” against the then Postmaster. He “protested” at a dinner in honor of the Postmaster retiring. Was fired, under post office regs for insubordination on the job. In the 60’s have gradiated law school, refused to join the Nebraska Bar (didn’t want to pay dues), and was an “activist”— and put on FBI surveillance for his threats against government, local and national. In other words, a pain in the a@@ nothingburger of a life of complaints, and zero outreach to his own... “community” and thus obamaumaobot.

He NEVER served in US military, was deferred for “college” and yet, like the spoiled minister’s kid he was— bitched the entire time, while others of his community were killed in Vietnam. Naturally, he is..... a demonrat gibsme dat omaha urbanite with NO clue. His 11th district-— well— check it out if you want. King of Nothing.

We learn that all
Kinds of advantages and opportunities ( law school education, government job, etc) don’t guarantee human decency ( or even sanity)

The yellow bastard has this on his Nebraska site:
“Sen. Chambers has chosen not to have an email address.”

His phone number is (402) 471-2612 but it is busy (off the hook?) every time I called.

I’m 85 and would love to punch the crap out of that traitorous [too foul for this site].

Ernie is awesome. Wish he were as popular as AOC. The more they are heard the more it helps the other side.

His history includes recent speeches in the NE House, including “My ISIS is the Police”. Black Liberation Theology, BLM, obamaumao,

Another dude like former Cong. “Red” Dellums of Oakland, CA, who WAS formerly to congress.... a Marine.

Another flag, and country hating beneficiary of the US largess of life’s opportunities who continued to TEAR IT DOWN.

This clown is another in a long line of accomplish nothing do nothing black politician ripoff artists, a male Sheila Jackson Lee— ON THE TAKE!!
