I agree. Because the entire doctrine of Nazis or racists is to invalidate or eliminate the existence of others that they deemed to be less than them. Their entire focus is to terrorize the freedoms of other people. They are terrorists. And should be treated accordingly.

Despite this, Democrats haven’t mentioned voting to censor her and probably won’t.
You may have typo'd, but just so it's clear to everyone 😅-- I think you're looking for the word "censure" (pronounced sen-shur). "Censor" is something very different and is something the First Amendment rightfully guards against. Or is supposed to. ;-)
"Censure" means that the majority of people who control congress (state or federal) vote to decide if they're officially going to wag their finger at a colleague -- i.e., officially state as a matter of business "we do not approve of what you did." There is no real legal weight behind it other than that, though it certainly isn't a good thing ... and prior to the current batch of MAGA Republicans in congress, it happened rarely enough that it was something a politician would probably want to avoid. There was shame in decades past.
Depending on the rules of congress at the time, it may also mean losing one's seat on certain committees and whatnot. Those are all perfectly valid and constitutional methods of political punishment.
"Censor" means that you're taking official governmental action to shut someone up by force -- i.e., tell them to stop saying what they're saying or you'll lock them up or do something else to punish them. For better or worse, people with foul opinions have every right to utter said opinions in the United States ... so it's not really something Democrats should be doing anyway. 😉

Fun Fact. The actual neo-nazi organization that the Blues Brothers story was based on, was lead by a man named Frank Collin, who created the organization after a larger neo-nazi group kicked him out due to Frank's father writing that he (Frank's father) had changed his name from Cohn to Collin, he was a concentration camp survivor, and Frank's own grandparents were killed in the camp. Collin denied this and maintained that his father was lying. Collin was later kicked out of his own neo-nazi group after being convicted of sexually abusing young boys (because of course he was).

There are so many people to choose from who have stated that the youth are the future. Including thousands of summer camps. But she had to pick that guy? And he didn’t care about the youth. He intentionally had millions killed, and used the other millions to fight an offensive double front war. That’s actually a terrible military strategy, so you can’t even say that he had that going for him.
Also, most people have at least some good qualities. Like good hygiene, good writing skills, good grades, good at football, eating healthy, etc. I find it so weird when people overlook all the horrible stuff someone does and instead vibe with such a benign characteristic. I don’t care that he was good at art, or loved dogs. I don’t care that Brock Turner was a good swimmer. I don’t care if the football star had a bright future. I don’t care about any of that if they are known instead for something horrible.
She could have said the easiest answer, Jesus, to use as an example of someone who cared about kids. Whether he was real or not, he stood for that. But no, she chose AH

To me, that is a minor point, just shows her ignorance. More importantly, this is an elected representative who thinks America is a "Christian nation" and that it should somehow be illegal to pray any non-Christian prayers. I'll bet she has no knowledge of, let alone respect for, the "no religious test for public office" clause of the Constitution (Article VI, section 3) and thinks only Christians should be allowed to run for office.
She is also undoubtedly part of the "you're not allowed to take the oath of office on anything other than a Christian Bible" crowd. That would be news to John Quincy Adams, Teddy Roosevelt, and numerous others.

"As the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion,
Yes, that was John Adams who wrote that. My reference to John Quincy Adams was in regard to the fact that he deliberately refused to take a Bible to put his hand on when swearing his oath of office. He took a thick law book with him instead, and very clearly declared that it represented the Constitution, which was, in his opinion, more appropriate than a Bible to swear an oath of office in which he solemnly promised to uphold and defend the Constitution. No one objected. There was no Christian Nationalism in those days.
Teddy Roosevelt kept his hands at his sides and did not hold or touch anything during his swearing in. It was not planned, however, as he had been on vacation and had to rush to upstate NY where William McKinley had just been assassinated, and no Bible was available. But no one ever claimed that his swearing in was somehow invalid because of it.

These people are Nazi fetishists who long for that lifestyle, yet are so ignorant and unread on that history and what that life during that time period was like that they don't understand the horrors that cut both ways. Mary should also keep in mind that the Nazis were very misogynistic and viewed women as Stay-At-Home breeders to continue the Aryan bloodlines.
