GOP Congressman wears Nazi SS uniform - so what?
So it turns out that the Republican running for Congress in Ohio's 9th District, Rich Iott, likes to pretend he's a Nazi SS guard on the weekends.
So what? Lots of people wear strange things. You should have seen what I wore during the seventies. The job of a Congressman is to represent Americans, not to be a paragon of fashion sense and style.
I mean, it's not like he's wearing Jihadi Chic!
And I'm sure that his love of goose-stepping around with SS gear has less to do with an urge to shove certain over-educated cosmopolitan elitists into gas chambers, and more to do with not knowing much about fashion.
I mean, here he is wearing a PINK shirt, with his SHORT-HAIRED wife:
Here he is embracing a man in a skirt! I could see THAT being a scandal, more than the whole fantasy genocide thing:
Here he is with someone who might be an actual SS veteran:

In her book "The Death Marches of Hungarian Jews Through Austria in the Spring of 1945," Eleonore Lappin, the noted Austrian historian, writes that soldiers from the Wiking division were involved in the killing of Hungarian Jews in March and April 1945...
...Prof. Rob Citino, of the Military History Center at the University of North Texas, who examined the Wiking website. "The entire German war effort in the East was a racial crusade to rid the world of 'subhumans,' Slavs were going to be enslaved in numbers of tens of millions. And of course the multimillion Jewish population of Eastern Europe was going to be exterminated altogether. That's what all these folks were doing in the East. It sends a shiver up my spine to think that people want to dress up and play SS on the weekend."
Wah wah wah, so some snooty internationalist urbanites might have a chill up their spines. Maybe they should have thought about that BEFORE they took over the media and created communism, which made nazism necessary.
