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.

Thing is this POS wouldn’t be what he is or have what he has if he lived in another country.

Even with a name like his, I guessed black before ever seeing the picture. CWII is on us, has been for some time, and only one side is fighting it.

He needs to raise his arm a little higher in the photo, if he is truly honest.

Fun fact about Big Ern: he is not a member of the Demonrat Party. The NE legislature does not elect on party. Ernie Chambers was loosely affiliated with the former New Alliance Party, which was an unvarnished Communist Party.

Sadly, what was once a fringe element represented by Chambers is now the mainstream of the Demonrats today.

He’s just repeating what the man told him to say. He’s dancing on the end of those strings like he was made to do

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

I hope there are many patriots around the country who are compiling lists of these anti-America scumbags so that when shooting starts they will be the first to pay the ultimate price for their perfidy.

Oh, he’s an honorary democrat as far as I’m concerned.

If not for the stupid non-p elections he’d certainty have to resort to running as one.
