GOP lawmaker again pushes for 'final solution' against Jewish colleague: 'I wasn't joking'
A New Hampshire Republican state representative from Hillsborough is refusing to apologize after using the term "Final Solution" to disparage an event being put on by a Jewish colleague.
The lawmaker, Travis Corcoran, posted a screenshot of an email from Democratic Rep. Jessica Grill, inviting members to a bipartisan Karaoke night and advertising the event with a limerick, which appeared to irritate him.
"We need a final solution for theater kids in politics," wrote Corcoran.
"Final Solution" is the internal term that officials in Nazi Germany used for the mass deportation of Jews to death camps, that ultimately became the Holocaust.
As Corcoran faced outrage, he only doubled down.
"But I wasn't joking, Tim," he said in reply to a fellow lawmaker who told him it was now too late to claim he was only joking. "We really do need to purge theater kids from any role that puts them anywhere near levers of power. Reality is a hard problem and you children are incapable of dealing with it."
He then followed up by posting a cartoon comparing himself to Jesus, which stated "Most people rejected His message. They hated Travis because He told them the truth."
