Democrat Hank Johnson draws Holocaust comparison while blasting deportations

House Judiciary Committee member Hank Johnson, R-Ga., made waves when he made allusions to the Holocaust while obliquely criticizing the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia and the arrest of Milwaukee Judge Hannah Dugan.

Johnson was speaking during a Wednesday committee markup meeting when he began paraphrasing German preacher Martin Niemöller’s confession as someone who once supported the Nazi Party until it was too late to object to its mounting atrocities.

"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."
