Colorado Republican Party calls Jewish, gay politician a 'Brownshirt' Nazi

In a recent social media post, Colorado Republicans called a gay, Jewish politician a Nazi.

In a post to Facebook on August 1, the Jefferson County, Colorado, Republican Party made a joke about Representative Jared Polis (D-CO) being a Brownshirt – an informal name for a member of the Nazi Party’s paramilitary, which was known for their violence against opposing parties and minorities, like Jews and gay men.

Polis is Jewish. And gay.

“Jared Polis has a new club ‘How to Be A Brown Shirt for Fun & Profit,” the post said, along with an image of Polis wearing a brown shirt.

'No puppet. You're the puppet.' debate statement.

And once they're done attacking Polis for being a nazi, they can go right back to saying how much they love hitler, and agree with everything he did. Because they're basket cases.

Eye crossing duplicity, and stupidity, and double think. It's a psy op. They're laughing up their sleeves.
