(Jewish Group) George Santos made 'offensive' past joke about Hitler and 'The Jews': report

Rep. George Santos (R-NY), who fabricated a family history about Jewish grandparents being Holocaust survivors and who has now admitted he isn't even Jewish, was apparently fond of making jokes about the Holocaust 12 years ago.

Patch has obtained a screenshot of a post Santos made on Facebook that made light of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler killing "the jews and black (sic) mostly" and then adding a "lololololol!!!" afterward.

Although it is not clear whether Santos was sincerely endorsing genocidal mass murder, Oren Segal, the vice president of the Center on Extremism at the Anti-Defamation League, told Patch that it was at the very least a wildly inappropriate joke.

"Joking about Hitler is clearly offensive for anyone," he said. "But it’s especially offensive from someone who lied about his Jewish heritage and having family members that fled the Holocaust."

Oh wait, no I am not.

This POS needs to GO!
