Just in time for Independence Day, U.S. Rep. Clay Higgins, R-Port Barre, has a video message for America. But instead of visiting constituent cookouts, shooting off fireworks and waving the United States flag, Higgins delivers a stark dispatch from the Nazis' Auschwitz concentration camp at Oswiecim, Poland.

"A great sense of dread comes over you in this place," Higgins says, leading the viewer on a five-minute, nine-second tour of the site, with a dirge-like solo violin playing in the background. "Man's inhumanity to man can be quite shocking."

The Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum has  officially condemned this deplorable stunt in a statement.

And yes, this is one of the 435 Representatives, not some random state jack off. I wouldn't have made this thread if he were some nobody.
