It seems pretty clear that the Left has given up on trying to win arguments. Their new strategy? Slander. For years, Americans who believe in secure borders, fiscal responsibility, and the rule of law have been branded with every ugly label in the book, all in a desperate attempt to shut down debate.

This isn’t just politics as usual. It’s a toxic game that dissolves our shared understanding of history. Every now and then, however, a liberal says something so profoundly foolish that even quiet, respected institutions have to step in and say “enough.”

From ‘The Post Millennial’:

The US Holocaust Museum made a sharp rebuke against Minnesota Governor Tim Walz after he likened the efforts of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Minnesota to the horrors that were seen by Anne Frank in the Nazi-occupied Nethertlands.

The museum posted on X, “Anne Frank was targeted and murdered solely because she was Jewish. Leaders making false equivalencies to her experience for political purposes is never acceptable. Despite tensions in Minneapolis, exploiting the Holocaust is deeply offensive, especially as antisemitism surges.”

Walz was rebuked by a Holocaust museum after grotesquely comparing the enforcement of our immigration laws to the horrors of the Nazi regime. “Many of us grew up reading that story of Anne Frank,” Walz claimed, adding that children of illegal immigrants are now “hiding in their houses, afraid to go outside. Somebody’s going to write that children’s story about Minnesota.”

An Insult to Memory and an Affront to Truth

Let’s not mince words. Anne Frank was a little girl hunted by a genocidal state for the crime of being Jewish. She hid in an attic from men who wanted to ship her to a death camp. To compare her terror to the situation of people who knowingly violated the laws of the United States isn’t just a false equivalency—it’s a grotesque desecration of history. It’s a comparison so ludicrous it would be laughable if it weren’t so disgusting.

The brave officers of ICE are not the Gestapo. They are American patriots enforcing the laws that keep our country safe and sovereign. Under President Trump, they are finally being allowed to do their jobs again. For a sitting governor to slander them in this way is an absolute disgrace.

Siding With Radicals Over Law and Order

But here’s the part the media won’t tell you. Walz wasn’t just spouting nonsense for no reason. His press conference came right after an armed anti-ICE agitator was shot by Border Patrol while resisting arrest. This was never about protecting “hiding” children; it was about running political cover for violent extremists who use encrypted apps to hunt and impede federal officers.

This is the modern Democrat Party in a nutshell. They don’t just disagree on policy. They instinctively side with the lawless over the lawmen. While the Trump administration brings order, Democrats like Walz give comfort to chaos. They stand with the agitators, not the agents.

A Familiar Pattern of Defamation

For conservatives, this playbook is painfully familiar. Dare to believe parents should see a school’s curriculum? You’re a book-burning fascist. Stand up for your Second Amendment rights? You’re a menace to society. And if you dare suggest our nation needs a secure border, you are, of course, a Nazi. It’s the only argument they have left.

But Governor Walz’s comments crossed a line. His rhetoric was so vile, so divorced from reality, that one of the world’s most important guardians of memory had no choice but to publicly reprimand him.

We have all grown weary of these disgusting smears. But this incident serves as a powerful reminder of what we’re up against. We aren’t just fighting for secure borders and the rule of law. We are fighting to defend our history, our language, and simple decency from a radical ideology that seeks to corrupt them all.

Key Takeaways

• Democrat Gov. Tim Walz compared ICE agents to Nazis, trivializing the Holocaust.
• The U.S. Holocaust Museum publicly rebuked Walz for his “deeply offensive” comments.
• Walz’s rhetoric was a defense of an armed, anti-ICE agitator, not innocent families.
• This is part of a pattern where the Left uses vile smears to attack law and order.
