(JEWISH GROUP) NH lawmaker reprimanded for 'final solution' joke aimed at Jewish colleague

Republican state legislator in New Hampshire faced a disciplinary hearing this week for having tweeted a “final solution” reference at a Jewish Democratic colleague.

Last month, GOP state Rep. Travis Corcoran wrote on social media, “We need a final solution for theater kids in politics,” in response to state Rep. Jessica Grill’s bid to form a bipartisan “karaoke caucus.”

Corcoran is now facing a possible sanction or expulsion for his comment, which invoked the Nazi “final solution” to murder all Jews. His comments came as the Republican Party has faced internal divisions over the rise of antisemitism within its ranks, with white-nationalist figures and conspiracy theorists including Nick Fuentes and Candace Owens gaining a toehold in some corners of the party.

This week Corcoran defended his comments to the legislature, saying he was joking and did not know his colleague was Jewish. He called disciplinary procedures against him a “kangaroo court.”

"Funny, you don't look Jewish" is shit I've heard my entire life.

But again, being Jewish, I support genocide according to the left and on the right, we need to find a final solution.

And people wonder why I am suspect of most non-Jews through my life story of dealing with this shit for 47 years.
