To paraphrase the late Freedom Center founder David Horowitz: scratch a tolerant, inclusive, compassionate “liberal” and just underneath the surface you’ll find a raging, totalitarian racist and antisemite. Wisconsin Democrat Congressman Marc Pocan is the latest example of this ugly truth.
On Wednesday, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller tweeted in regard to New York City Democrats embracing Muslim socialist Zohran Mamdani, a Ugandan immigrant, as the city’s mayoral candidate: “NYC is the clearest warning yet of what happens to a society when it fails to control migration.”
In response to Miller’s suggestion that America needs to quit importing people who are actively seeking to undermine our nation and civilization, Rep. Pocan, 60, tweeted this intemperate message: “Racist fuck. Go back to 1930’s Germany.”
This is how far our political discourse has degenerated in these politically polarized times. A sitting congressman now has no compunction about abandoning civil, rational debate in favor of hurling vile obscenities and wishing a Jewish political opponent to be thrown to the Nazi wolves.
Needless to say, condemnations of this grotesque outburst – which as of this writing an unrepentant Pocan has left online – flew fast and furious. One commentator wrote, “This is appalling. It blows my mind that you’d even consider speaking like this to someone. Doesn’t matter who it is or what they’ve said, you’d be immediately terminated within the private sector. You’re obviously mentally unfit for your role in congress.”
Another wrote, “Congressman tells Jewish American to go back to a place and time when Jews were sent to ovens and gas chambers. @SpeakerJohnson if this doesn’t merit censure, what does?”
Republican lawmakers were rightly outraged. “What an absolutely disgusting comment from a Congressman to a Jewish WH official,” Anna Kelly, White House Deputy Press Secretary, wrote on X. “@MarkPocan must apologize — not just to Stephen, but to his constituents — and then seek professional help.”
“Wisconsin Democrats must denounce Pocan’s vile rhetoric or be complicit,” the National Republican Congressional Committee posted on X.
But Pocan dismissed his critics on Thursday, declaring that “only people who support Miller’s ultra-extremist views are jumping on” his comment. He stated he was “confident normal people are as troubled by [Miller’s] views as I am.” Claiming that Miller’s commonsense view that a nation has the right to enforce its immigration laws is “ultra-extremist” is as amusing as declaring that Pocan’s fellow Democrats are “normal people.”
“They rounded up people in the ‘30s, just as they are today with zero due process,” Pocan blathered. This is boilerplate Democrat propaganda. The only people being “rounded up” are ones in the country illegally, starting with illegal alien felons, including international gang members, sex and human traffickers, murderers, rapists, and other reprobates whom Democrats are typically passionate about defending. The far-Left, Pocan included, may not like it, but “rounding up” criminals whom they depend on to win elections is part of “due process.” And the vast majority of Americans want immigration laws enforced, the borders secured, and felons deported, according to a recent Pew Research Center survey,.
Who is Marc Pocan, you ask? As noted at Discover the Networks, the Freedom Center’s online encyclopedia of the Left, Pocan is a gay, alphabet activist, co-chair of the Congressional LGBT Equality Caucus, serving as the U.S. representative from Wisconsin’s very blue 2nd congressional district in Madison since 2013. He:
- spoke several times at RadFest, an annual gathering of communists, socialists, and progressive activists in Madison, Wisconsin;
- supports illegal immigration and a path to citizenship;
- strongly opposes Voter ID laws;
- supports affirmative action, the DREAM Act, Head Start, regulation of greenhouse gas emissions, ban on offshore oil drilling, destruction of all American nuclear weapons, reduction in the U.S. defense budget, closure of the Guantanamo Bay Detention Center and tax hikes on high-income households;
- is a strong supporter of “Palestine”;
- introduced legislation to abolish ICE;
- defends the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement targeting Israel;
- voted for multimillionaire lifelong communist Bernie Sanders in 2020, and
- walked out of President Trump’s address to Congress in March, 2025 while Trump was speaking.
While it’s regrettably common for people (myself included) today to let slip a public profanity here and there – an angry President Trump himself told a reporter the other day that neither side in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict “knows what the fuck they’re doing” – Democrats have turned degrading public discourse into an art form, and I’ve written about the reasons for that. In short,
Swearing sends a thrill up the left’s collective leg because Marxists and their inheritors, Progressives, consider decency to be a contemptable bourgeois value. Even though leftists control the culture, they still think of themselves as counterculture revolutionaries bucking the Establishment, like teenagers rebelling against their parents.
[…]
And that is the crux of the phenomenon: emotion. Leftists cannot win against the right on the playing field of reasoned debate, because they are animated not by logic and evidence but by feelings. They don’t let facts get in the way of their passionate conviction that they are right and the other side is not merely wrong but evil. And nothing displays passionate conviction quite like cursing. The right believes that public profanity is not just uncivil but unprofessional, and that it delegitimizes one’s argument, whereas Progressives feel that it legitimizes their passion.
A statement as despicable as Marc Pocan’s attack on Stephen Miller not only should be grounds for censure, but for dismissal from public office as well. There should be zero tolerance in Congress for the spewing of ugly, antisemitic obscenities. It’s long past time for America to demand that our political and cultural elites take the lead in establishing a public culture of decency, civility, and respectful dialogue.
