Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) is doubling down on his recent fearmongering about which freedoms are supposedly on the chopping block in the U.S.
“First, they came for your guns. Then, your gas stoves. Then, your gas cars. What’s next?” he tweeted Friday.

Horror author Stephen King had a scathing single-word answer for the Ohio Republican.
“You,” the writer tweeted in the replies.
You.

Hopefully, in your case, your smart phone & keyboards, so you can't type such offensive things anymore. (You do realize it's Holocaust Remembrance Day, and you're paraphrasing Niemöller, right? You cannot possibly be ignorant enough not to know this.)
