Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA) records video inside Auschwitz gas chamber

[Miles Archer]

A Republican lawmaker is coming under criticism for recording videos at the Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland, including a segment filmed inside the Nazi gas chambers and crematorium.

“This is why homeland security must be squared away, why our military must be invincible,” Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.) declared as he stood in front of ovens used to cremate prisoners.

The Auschwitz‑Birkenau Memorial and Museum wrote on Twitter that Higgins shouldn’t have used the scene of so many murders as a “stage.”

Higgins, a former police officer who now sits on the House Homeland Security Committee, made headlines last month when he wrote on Facebook that “all of Christendom... is at war with Islamic horror” and called for killing any “radicalized Islamic suspect.”

1. His FB page is full of wonderful comments, e.g.:

Great job in Europe you dolt. It takes a true idiot to think making a political point in Auschwitz was good idea. You didn't even do it at a camp that the U.S. liberated. If you knew anything about history you would've praised and said that Russia needs an invincible army since they were the liberators of Auschwitz... Moron..

You just used the deaths of more than 1 million prisoners at Auschwitz for your own political gain. As a descendant of an American Revolutionary War Veteran (Several actually), I cannot understand your interpretation of security and freedom. You sir, are a misguided disgrace!

Well July 4 was too good to be true. Way to be the "shining city on a hill" Congressman. You are another US embarrassment. Sorry World. Lesson: DO NOT CREATE PROPAGANDA INSIDE A HOLOCAUST GAS CHAMBER.

Clay, you would have been one of the police officers killing Jews at Babi Yar. You are a disgrace to Louisiana, and when are you going to pay back your ex-wife the $140,000 in child support you owe you deadbeat sperm donor?

I could go on... but you get the idea.
