A Democratic congressman from the South is in hot water after claiming he did not defend migrants getting deported, 'because I'm not a Latino at the Home Depot.'
'First, they came for the Latinos outside of the Home Depots trying to get work so that they could feed their families,' Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga., said during a congressional hearing on Wednesday.
'I didn't say anything about it, because I'm not a Latino at the Home Depot,' the Democrat continued.
The lawmaker appears to have been making his own version of a poem by a Martin Niemöller.
The work, titled 'First They Came,' talks about how officials in Nazi Germany began persecuting communists, socialists and Jews, before the eventually ending with chilling phrase 'Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.'
Johnson clearly sought to connect President Donald Trump's approach to deportation to being akin to Nazi atrocities.
'Then they came for the Hispanic looking folks wearing hats backwards with tattoos, and they deported them to El Salvador,' Johnson recited.
'I didn't say anything about that because I don't wear my hair backward, and I don't have any tattoos, and I don't look like a Latino,' he added.

He’s basically saying that the only time he sees Latinos is when they are looking for construction jobs he won’t do. How very Jim Crowe of him
Sampling. Negro from the depot style.
Hank needs to stick to capsizing islands.
Besides, if you deport too many of them to the island of El Salvador, it might tip over. /s
When is Congressman ‘Foot -In-Mouth’ syndrome going to be pushed out of congress?
I found out he’s ‘only’ 70 years old!
The way he expresses himself ad lib, and is allowed to get away with it, I was sure he must be a much older man, maybe even near Senator Grassley’s age (91).
Hank Johnson long ago reached the final, last, and terminal personification of the word ‘Buffoon’. I have as much respect for him as I would a chimpanzee with a capital ‘D’ on its shirt.
LOL! Same here. Yet constituents keep electing such over and over and over.
I admire many Latinos and their culture.
However, it needs to be understood that US citizens are not expendable simply because a desperate foreign human being is willing to work for a dollar less per hour, until realizing that can be deadly.
Hank Johnson is one of the dumbest knuckleheads the democrats have ever elected.
Hank Johnson (D-Guam)
Up there with AOC and Jazzy Crockofshit.
To a Democrat, a Latino is the “new ‘N’”.
I posted about this on April 17 when Tim Walz first made the reference in a speech. Hank Johnson was copying Walz.
Our LAAP-dog media failed to report the connection last month, but the UK Daily Mail didn't hesitate to report it with Johnson.
But I was the first to point out how the Democrats are still calling Trump supporters Nazis.

Why dont they say they like tacos and burritos too while they are at it?
He’s as big a screwball as Mad Maxine.

“Why dont they say they like tacos and burritos too while they are at it?”
They can’t do that! That would be cultural misappropriation! ;-)
There was a great meme on PDW a while back- “First they came for the communists but I said nothing because I was too busy fueling the helicopters.”
Kick them out, Hank. If you care about the country kick them out before it tips over.
