GOP Congressman Quotes Goebbels, Sparks Nazi Accusations
During a congressional hearing on a purported “censorship industrial complex,” Republican Rep. Keith Self quoted Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels, asserting the state’s right to influence public opinion. This prompted strong criticism from Rep. Julie Johnson, who condemned the invocation of a figure associated with World War II atrocities. Self defended his remarks by referencing Nina Jankowicz’s testimony and alleging that the Biden administration manipulated public opinion. However, this was not the first time Self has used Goebbels’ quotes, highlighting a pattern of controversial statements. The incident follows other recent controversies involving Nazi references, including those from Elon Musk.
