Democratic Rep. condemned for telling Jewish official to 'go back to 1930s Germany'

The White House has demanded that Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.) apologize for a social media post in which he told White House official Stephen Miller, who is Jewish, to “go back to 1930s Germany."

White House deputy press secretary Anna Kelly condemned the comment, calling it “absolutely disgusting.” She added, "Mark Pocan must apologize, not only to Stephen but to his constituents and seek professional help." Kelly also noted that such “crazed antisemitic hatred” emboldens extremists to target Jewish Americans.

The comment came after Miller, who serves as the deputy chief of staff for policy, made a statement about New York City’s mayoral race. Following the victory of anti-Israel candidate Zohran Mamdani in the Democratic primary last week, Miller warned that the city served as a "clear warning" of the consequences when a society fails to control immigration.

Pocan, who serves as the chair emeritus of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, called Miller a "racist f-" and wrote, "go back to 1930s Germany." It was unclear whether Pocan was aware that Miller is Jewish, but Miller has often discussed his Jewish identity, Israel, and antisemitism on social media.

Why go back to 1930s Germany, with all those yucky clean streets and trains running on time. You can have all the anti-Semitism you want without all those horrors right in NYC. Mamdani. He'll bring back the 1980s NYC. Vote Mamdani, you racists.

“Condemned” huh? If a conservative said that he and family would be doxxed, taunted and bricks hurled thru the house.

As an openly gay man representing Wisconsin in Congress, US Representative Pocan ought to consider how well homosexuals were treated by the Gestapo before he suggests that a Jewish politician be sent back in time to live in the Third Reich under Hitler.

Truly an ignorant and hateful message, it is shameful that the Progressives elected someone like Pocan to serve in Congress.

The media should be asking Democrat leaders if they condemn Pocan’s statement.

Another idiot Cheesehead who can’t get his buddies at the Third Reich off of his mind.

Seeing all these people on social media calling Miller a nazi is quite ironic

Bizzarro Planet am in convergence with pretty round planet Earth. Dems am Bizzarro, and me talk like this sometimes.

[Racketeer]

It is my very clear understanding 1930’s Germany was really not a bad place to be, unless of course, you were trying to muck it up.

The representative is obviously angry with Miller due to the effect Miller is having on his parade of corruption.

Pecan needs to resign immediately.

“The media should be asking Democrat leaders if they condemn Pocan’s statement”

…that ain’t happenin. It’ll be ignored. The View will downplay it similar to that “rape rape” incident. Or “some people did something” for 9/11.

AGREE-—THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THESE REMARKS.
ASHAMED TO SAY THAT AREA IS MY HOMETOWN.

A VERY DEMONSTRATABLE REASON WHY I WILL EVER MOVE BACK TO WISCONSIN

They’re not even trying to hide it anymore, are they?

Plenty of them in The Party. Ernst Rohm was as queer as they come, and some say Hitler was, too. But he purged all the fairies from SA in ‘34, and Ernst Rohm perished then, too.
