"College Republicans Sorry for Hitler-Themed Valentine's Card"





A Central Michigan University registered student organization apologized via social media late Wednesday night after an anti-Semitic Valentine’s Day card apparently handed out by a member of the group sparked anger among students and community members.

The Valentine features a photo of Adolph Hitler on the front and the words, “My love 4 u burns like 6,000 Jews,” and is signed “XOXO, Courtney.”

The inflammatory card was among of collection in a bag compiled Valentine’s Day party the Central Michigan University College Republican’s hosted Wednesday night;that bag was then handed to students sitting in Anspach hall, according to a post from the student group.

A photo of the Valentine hit Facebook and Twitter Wednesday night and the group posted an apology to Facebook while fielding angry messages.

...will those 30% of Jewish voters who voted for Trump have buyer's remorse? Or will they ever. It's not even like Trump has ever been a massive supporter of (or as far as Republicans go panderer to) far right Israeli politics, so I still can't figure out what it was that allowed them to look past the rabid anti-semitism that was apparent from day one.

Converted, so in their minds that made Trump ok. The fact that Trump's top strategist was a virulent anti-Semite and many on his campaign staff were to was overlooked.

Can we now all accept that Trump made racism, bigotry, and pure illogical hate mainstream?

right wing stooges who think the number was 6000, thanks to this hate crime. Next they'll say the holocaust never happened?

How can college aged people not know the number was way off? This got a lot of attention on television. Was this hate crime a way to downplay the horror of the holocaust? Like their artwork of people riding dinosaurs to show the Earth is 6000 years old, or have I finally lost it?
