GOP Rep Somehow Thinks Quoting Infamous Nazi At Hearing Is A Good Idea
HuffPost
Keith Self referenced a statement of Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels during a Congressional hearing on an alleged "censorship industrial complex."
Texas congressman Keith Self apparently hasn’t learned the lesson that if you have to quote an infamous Nazi propagandist to make your point, then maybe it’s a point not worth making.
During a House foreign relations subcommittee meeting that was intended to determine the existence of an alleged “censorship industrial complex” supposedly set up by the Biden administration to curtail conservatives on social media, Self quoted Joseph Goebbels, the man who spread Adolf Hitler’s ideology to German citizens.
“A direct quote from Joseph Goebbels [the Nazi propaganda minister]: ‘It is the absolute right of the state to supervise the formation of public opinion,’ and I think that may be what we’re discussing here,” he said.
And, yes, there’s video.
Texas Democrat Julie Johnson had definite issues with Self’s quoting of a Nazi propagandist in a Congressional hearing.
