A Virginia state delegate has fueled outrage for invoking a famous Holocaust-related quote in a blistering attack on Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency efforts to modernize the federal bureaucracy.

Democratic state Delegate Joshua Cole compared the DOGE cost-saving initiative to Nazi Germany’s attack on the Jews during an emergency hearing about the agency’s impact on Virginia last week — drawing a swift rebuke from top local leaders.

“I must say that I have seen so many different people on social media rather excited about these [DOGE] cuts; rather excited about these job losses,” Cole began during a brief speech at the hearing

These are the same democrats who told Keystone pipeline workers to 'learn to code' when Biden ended the pipeline project?

Clean house - learn to code.

Did they shed a tear when countless healthcare professionals, pilots, teachers & service members were fired for not taking an experimental vaccine?

the poem goes like this:

“First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me”

Communists killed over 50 million people in the 20th century, so THEY were too slow!

“First they came for the groomers, and I said nothing because I was not a groomer.

Then they came for the do-nothing bureaucrat, and I said nothing because I was not a do-nothing bureaucrat.

Then they came for Hamas, and I said nothing because I was not a Hamas.

Then they came for the corrupt FBI activists, and I said nothing because I was not a corrupt FBI activist.

Then they came for the money-laundering treasonous politicians, and there was no one left to speak up for me.”

— A modern Democrat plagiarism.

DOGE has nothing to do with free speech and, as we all know, free speech led to the Holocaust!

It’s not all they have...it’s all they ARE. They are what they have accused everyone else of being all along.

Laughed at a Pinochet/Pepe themed meme on PDW a while back: “First they came for the communists but I said nothing because I was too busy refueling the helicopters.”

Was it something like “First they came for the kickbacks, but I did not get kickbacks. Then they came for the graft, but I did not get graft. Then they came for the embezzlement...”

Not only their gravy train, but the whole system by which they indoctrinate the world into far left ideology.
