Racist GOP U.S. Senate candidate throws Nazi salute while hosting antisemitic rally - LGBTQ Nation
"Republican U.S. Senate candidate Jake Lang (FL) | YouTube screenshot via APT Jake Lang - a Republican candidate for Florida's U.S. Senate seat who was jailed for allegedly assaulting U.S. Capitol police officers during the January 6, 2021, riots - recently threw a Nazi "Sieg Heil" salute during a racist and antisemitic rally that he held outside of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) headquarters in Washington, D.C."
"At the rally, Lang declared, "Congressmen and women that have been taking AIPAC money, we suggest you stop now before the crusaders really start.... Treasonous traitors will be hanging from the gallows, rightfully and justly prosecuted and hung for treason." He also said, "White Christian men are not gonna sit around while [AIPAC and pro-Jewish activists] turn our children into a bunch of [n-word]-lovers.""
"Last October, Republican leaders nationwide were caught proclaiming "I love Hitler" and discussing killing opponents in gas chambers in a private chat. Around the same time, U.S. Border Patrol shared a video that showed its agents working to a 13-second clip of Michael Jackson's 1995 song "They Don't Care About Us," which contained an antisemitic slur - antisemitic social media accounts celebrated the video."

Republican leaders were recorded proclaiming "I love Hitler" and discussing gas chambers, and U.S. Border Patrol agents circulated a clip containing an antisemitic slur.
