You elect a guy like C. Higgins and this is what you get.

Never fear the loudmouth. He will destroy himself if given the opportunity to do so.

Did you even watch the video?

Clay said nothing inappropriate of the sort and actually reminded us of the horrors that went on there and why we fight for freedom against threats like Nazi Germany.

Still upset you didn't get the RINO snake in the grass Sinkhole Angelle in office?

Why some people went all in on the Jindal buttboy both in 2015 and 2016, I will never know. He looked so lame and desperate running for everything and he had to be taken out like the trash career politician he was.

Other than not being completely silent, I thought he was being very respectful to those who lost their lives by pointing out the horrors they suffered. He seemed to do it in hushed tones.
I guess you guys are welcome to your opinions, but I don't see where he did anything horrifying.

Yeah when I heard it was Clay Higgins I thought "Oh Lord, what did he do now?" But the video was pretty respectful imho.

I didn't realize Angelle was a Jindal clone. Would have never voted for him either way.

Very typical of you to think you have to vote for the top two.

Not my district, but I'm sure there were plenty of other deservedly my people of my vote.

Also, obligatory #LongLiveEmperorJBE

Higgins is an idiot, but this is nothing. When I heard the promo on CNN coming up to talk about it they made it sound horrible.

If he's guilty of anything, maybe bad manners. That's it.

The outrage over this is pretty silly, but it was definitely cringeworthy. Especially when he started to use Aushwitz to make political points.

Situational awareness is severely lacking these days.

In the portions of the video I saw he was being very respectful.

As far as politics, all he did was remind people that we need to have homeland security so something like this will never happen to us.

Anyone who is offended by what he did is being unreasonable.

What's funny is it's not as much a selfie as it is a video telling others why it's important to have a strong military. It's more respectful than not making a video at all because it's a call to never let that happen again by having a strong military to prevent that kind of atrocity.

If that pisses you off, then frick off. You're garbage anyway. Nobody cares what you think because your reasoning abilities are highly suspect.

That's odd, because a strong "Homeland Security" was one of the driving forces behind the Holocaust.

You just made that up.

What he said wasn't disrespectful, it was using a gas chamber as a back drop for a political message.

As silence is requested in that area, Higgins should have obliged. But there is nothing offensive in the video I just watched. If anything, he was solemn and resolved that nothing like the Holocaust should happen again. I have not seen media reaction to this but I it will be depressing if it's over the top.
