Anthony Sabatini, who is running for Congress in Florida's 11th district, reportedly made the remarks during June's Florida Teenage Republicans Youth Summit.
To be fair, dude didn’t write that until it was actually true…
He was all about the Nazis in the beginning, he was an active supporter of them up thru the Holocaust.
The thing was he hated the Jewish people because of their religion, and the nazis hated them by their genetics.
So Niemoller thought if they crossed over to his brand of Christianity then the nazis should leave them alone, but he was still a self avowed anti-semite. His views eventually led to him being imprisoned in Dachu.
Yes, that was the whole point. He went on a lecture tour through Germany after the war which was all about how he was complicit (like many Germans) for not speaking out after the war. His intended audience were other Germans who he wanted to accept personal responsibility as well. Because way too many Germans washed their hands off the Nazis atrocities after the war claiming to have been ignorant of their crimes.
