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.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Sad indicator of that part of Georgia
was that a rap? Did he spit some sick beatbox? I sure hope he doesn’t capsize— someone should strap him down.
The guy is a total fruitcake.
We started going to Lowe’s instead over reports that Home Depot was supporting illegals.
Hank Johnson - D iputs Any which way you look at it that MOFO is STUPID
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.
STOP giving the illegals FREE MONEY SUPPLY and they will go home.
damn hanky, when cancer of the nose is diagnosed does the surgeon go after the bowel or the brain for removal? oh wait! in your case, Mr. Johnson, no worries about brain cancer for you. gotta have one first.
The guy is a total fruitcake.

The entire Democrat party has lost it. They are broken people.
Guam will Capsize and Tip Over into the ocean Hank Johnson

Aren’t almost all DemocRat Congesscritters liars? Why should anybody believe this one?
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.
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.
Axiom:
“I rob banks because that’s where the money is” Willy Sutton
Corollary:
I arrest illegal aliens at Home Depot because that’s where they gather
More like: “First, they (ILLEGAL Invaders) came to Rape, Murder, and Invade and I said nothing because I’m a stupid POS DemonRat keeping the “N” word relevant.
“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
I have always loved the response from the Admiral: “We don’t anticipate that.”
