New Hampshire Lawmaker Proposed Holocaust Denial Standards
Democrats in New Hampshire are criticizing a Republican state lawmaker following his public support for Holocaust denial. The individual has appeared on podcasts alongside top Trump officials. Investigations also revealed the individual has a criminal record in the United States. In 2020, the individual was convicted of open lewdness and indecent exposure after being found by police at a children's playground at 4 a.m. naked from the waist down with a bottle of baby oil. The individual reportedly stood by a proposal and denied supporting hatred against Jewish people. On Holocaust Remembrance Day earlier this month, the lawmaker posted a picture of himself presenting a Holocaust denial proposal with the caption 'ahead of our time'. A reporter from NPR attempted to interview the individual at a state capital, but the person left the building immediately after the encounter.
