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.

Here is Senator Ernie.



He was famous for trying to sue God a few years ago.

Who the hell in Nebraska votes for scum like this?

He must represent a district in a university town.

I find that comment hurtful and offensive, but it's a good bet my feelings don't matter at all.

In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if being hurtful and offensive to Americans was Sen. Ernie Chambers intent.

He needs to be tarred, feathered and run out of town on a rail.

I’ve always thought they had too much in common. I mean, they both have red. They both have white, and they are both rectangular. The similarities are amazing.

“He was famous for trying to sue God a few years ago.”

Or passed out in a gutter with an empty bottle of Jack Daniel’s.

One seems to lead to another in either direction.

This kind of unhinged rhetoric by nebraska state sen. ernie chambers speaks volumes about the ignorant masses that elected him.

Problem is that he is not even in the top 10 on a long long long long list.

He looks like a guy who asked me for change the other day. He sounds about as coherent.
