I& #39;m late to this, but honestly don& #39;t get the uproar. Normal people visit everything from concentration camps to Hitler& #39;s bunker in Germany. It& #39;s surreal how the touchstones of Jewish genocide are now tourist attractions—and that& #39;s exactly what Cawthorn wrote! Note the underline:
Oh, I see, Cawthorn& #39;s Democratic opponent posted the Instagram but *cut off the part where Cawthorn calls Hitler "a supreme evil"* and the tweet went viral. Seems bad!
As ever, I am not here to confirm your partisan biases, but to tell you the truth as best as I see it. That& #39;s because I respect my readers and you deserve no less. I& #39;ve written plenty about anti-Semitism in the GOP, this is not what it looks like. This, on the other hand: https://twitter.com/Yair_Rosenberg/status/1291831804949860353">https://twitter.com/Yair_Rose...
There& #39;s actually an entire genre on Instagram of Auschwitz selfies! The difference here is that Cawthorn was actually pretty self-aware about the moral dissonance of the situation, which is not the case with those folks. https://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=auschwitz+selfies">https://www.google.com/search... https://twitter.com/knucklesjak/status/1293216848746557440">https://twitter.com/knucklesj...
If calling Hitler "a supreme evil" is actually a pro-Hitler dog whistle to white supremacists, then words have no meaning. To quote a wise politician: C& #39;mon man! Don& #39;t let Twitter break your brain.
"Why did he delete it" is a silly question if you think about it for two seconds. If people were selectively screencapping your vacation photos on Instagram to wrongly accuse you of being pro-Hitler, I suspect you& #39;d delete them too. Though there are no good options there! https://twitter.com/Yair_Rosenberg/status/1293219761715916800">https://twitter.com/Yair_Rose...
For those unaware, Eagle& #39;s Nest is a famous and popular tourist attraction, as it& #39;s the site of an Allied victory over the Nazis. It is not some sort of pilgrimage site for Nazis. (Hitler didn& #39;t even like the place!) #Allied_capture">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kehlsteinhaus #Allied_capture">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kehl... https://twitter.com/SababaUSA/status/1293222722340823040">https://twitter.com/SababaUSA...
