Democratic Rep. Hank Johnson suggests Trump is targeting ‘Latinos outside of the Home Depots’ in bizarre riff on Holocaust-era poem
The New York Post ^ | 04/30/2025 | Victor Nava

A Democratic House lawmaker, known for his jaw-dropping remarks, repurposed a Holocaust-era poem on Wednesday to argue that the Trump administration is targeting “Latinos outside of the Home Depots.”

Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.), who once worried Guam could sink from overpopulation, subjected lawmakers to his bizarre variation of German theologian Martin Niemöller’s famous “First They Came For …” poem during a House Judiciary Committee hearing – leaving some people stunned.

“You know, first they came for the Latinos outside of the Home Depots, trying to get work so that they could feed their families,” Johnson began. “And I didn’t say anything about it because I’m not a Latino at the Home Depot.”

“Then they came for the Hispanic-looking folks wearing hats backward with tattoos and they deported them to El Salvador,” the congressman continued. “And I didn’t say anything about that because I don’t wear my hair [sic] backward and I don’t have any tattoos and I don’t look like a Latino.”

Johnson then suggested the Trump administration “came for the Latinas at home, taking care of the children … and I didn’t say anything about it because I’m not a Latina.”

The original version of the poem Johnson appropriated notes how the Nazi regime came for “socialists” and “trade unionists” before going after “Jews.”

The Georgia Democrat’s variation went on to allude to the Trump administration’s attempts to deport individuals on student visas over their alleged sympathies to Hamas and the recent arrest of a Wisconsin judge accused of helping an illegal migrant evade Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.

We started going to Lowe’s instead over reports that Home Depot was supporting illegals.

So who supplied this yo yo with the Martin Niemöller quote? He doesn’t know his ass from his elbow about history so he didn’t come up with it.

seems kind of racist to assume latinos would be hanging out in from of home depot if you ask me. That’s like saying blacks are hanging out in front of the watermelon stand IMO.

"The guy is a total fruitcake."

If we construct two Venn diagrams, one for "total fruitcake" and another for "the IQ of a turnip", I suspect they largely intersect.

That describes this moron and every moron who put him into office.

Corollary:

“STOP giving the illegals FREE MONEY SUPPLY and they will go home.”

The “free stuff” is given to the entire family on behalf of the American-born rugrat.

Congress celebrates Christmas every day. It spends about $16,000/year per American resident.

Local school districts spend $12,000 to about $32,000/year per student on district average.

Don’t care if they are outside a Home Depot hoping someone will pick them up for work.
Don’t care where they are or what they are doing. If you came here illegally, get out or be thrown the hell out.

When those Latino’s take over America, they will enslave the black population.

Look at how the Dominican Republic treats Haitians. That’s exactly what’s coming for Hank Johnson and his ilk. Hank will be licking his slave master’s Johnson. /spit
