Not sure why we can’t all be equally offended by the Swastika and all the other offending symbols.

I'm offended by a Virus that was used to implement Mail In Voting and therefore stolen elections . The symbolism of tyranny is spot on.

Jewish groups need to get over people making legitimate Nazi/Holocaust comparisons.

Notice how no one complains when the left calls US Nazis.

It’s anti-Nazi so Walker just signaled pro-Nazism. However, it’s obvious he didn’t realize he was doing that.

when are people going to learn that using a swastika or a yellow Shield of David is not going to win them any points in the credibility department?
