A school board candidate in Indiana proposed that not all Nazis were terribly bad guys.

A guy running for a seat on a local Indiana school board might just be out -- suggesting some Nazis were good dudes ... and comparing them to misunderstood anti-vaxxers of today., who's in the hunt for a Zionsville Community Schools Board of Trustees post, made the inflammatory comment on Facebook this week while apparently going back and forth with someone about Nazis ... only to then defend said Nazis.

He wrote,"All Nazis weren’t ‘bad,’ as you specify. They did horrible things. They were in a group frenzy in both cases you site . Who is to say if we were both there in the same place and same time, that we wouldn’t have done the same thing." Keefer went on to say Nazis were victims of"presentism" -- judging old acts by today's standards -- and said maybe one day ... we'd look back at Covid differently, specifically when it comes to folks who threw such a fit about it during the pandemic.

He finishes by saying ..."History is written by the victors. No other candidate will talk about the issues like I will." Later, after a ton of backlash, Keefer doubled down in his sentiment that not all Nazis were bad -- but in the same breath, denied being a Nazi sympathizer.

What a Fartknocker!

Guess none of his family went to the gas chambers

This comment section is the exact reason history is important to remember win or lose… Niggas saying Hitler was slightly correct is intellectual and morale reflection of who they are… learn important shit

He need read a book

They killed Jewish people they are bad

Not to sure about that. BUT! Suppose it's like saying all Republicans are terrorists...but who knows, won't comment further, inevitable someone gonna go off on a tirade

IM SO OUTRAGED!!

That’s war, not everybody knew what was going on, Germany had been decimated following ww1 and needed a way to achieve prosperity again, and of course American intelligence at the time did what they could to ensure Germany would rally around populism and create a new war 🏦

The Biden administration obviously feels the same way since they’re funneling billions to Nazis in Ukraine

How do you know he’s a Democrat? because if he was Republican it would say in big bold letters “a republican school board candidate”

wowowoowwow...

'If you were there, you would've done the same thing.' Holy projection Batman Btw we have a name for those 'Nazis' that wouldn't/didn't participate. We call them 'Germans'.

All N&zis had2do2takeover🇺🇸? Gethired by🇺🇸not k&lled,&then slowly,overtime,since they are way smarter than🇺🇸s,took over,inch by inch,until they got enough stupid evil🇺🇸s addicted2their mentality,in positions of power,&now extremist☠️cults on⬅️&➡️ addicted to m&rdering innocent🇺🇸s

Craziest part of WW2?🇺🇸hired thesmartest N&zis who joinedNASA Etc. But ultimately took over👎,led to Cointelpro,later,evil stupid mass stalking known officially as,GangStalking,9/11,used to start endless illegal wars for +20yrs. What🇺🇸didn't realize? It's a mentality,not a person

America would know, they hired them. 😂😅. Funny & true, but ultimately, a betrayal of America.

Tell me where I've heard this before please.

🙄

2022. And there is a party in America that welcomes Nazis. They're trying to rebrand as white christian nationals bc they know its wrong. There're no good Nazis. They didn't slip & accidentally force millions of people into ovens. They're evil. If you support them, you're evil.

'There's good people on both sides.' -ONE.

Oh Indiana

Attack him like y’all attacked the Black guy.

Hitler was actually on to something

Next we’ll see The Onion articles being factual

This is how fucked up our society has gotten when TMZ articles are starting to look like CNN and New York Post articles.

Idiot

Actually he said 'All Nazis weren't bad.' A significantly different statement.

Maybe he was talking about Werner VON braun... The renowned nazi v2 missile scientist that became director of NASA and is the reason we went to the moon... Oh and the U.S. brought him here with 1,600 other top nazis under operation paperclip.

It’s a slippery slope

Don't know cuz I wasn't born yet and I wasn't in there I'm Torontonian Canadians da

That’s true.

Trump's next pick for Secretary of Education.

Scumbag

there’s a difference b/w a German Soldier & a Nazi… maybe that’s what he was trying to say. b/c all Nazis were definitely terrible.

Disgusting

Really ? And just how many people did they kill I’m not just talking about the camps either I’m talking about all the countries they invaded and took control of,now that state in the United States is known to be a stronghold for kkk members ? That’s right Indiana

Oh jeez!😡

The liberals are shocking similar to the Nazis. They're just gobbling down propaganda and then internalizing it. Believing it. Acting on it. Look at how much they all hate Republicans. That doesn't mean they're all bad people, they're just gullible, simple children.

Must be a liberal

Without reading the article….some Germans were conscripted to fight for the Nazi’s. Not ALL were true believers. That is a fact & That is all.

I mean look who built NASA

He’s outta there 😂 it’s like people are just asking for it.

Wernher von Braun was a member of the Nazi party and was involved in the German rocket program that rained death on Britain. Do you know what he did after the war ended? Look it up....

😐

He’s a candidate. So let’s all do the easy thing and obviously vote for anyone other than this guy. Easy solve. Next

?

Did one of them place a welcome mat at the threshold of the gas chamber?

Let's see, there are Ukrainian men forced to join the Russian army and fight against their own country, should they choose to be shot instead? They do have a choice.

Not true

FFS I think I’ve had enough Twitter for the day & it’s not even 11am. You can have him, Indiana.

True. Some are REALLY HORRIBLY bad...not just terribly.

Not all German soldiers were bad. However all the Nazis were horrible people.

All I’m going to say is ‘Operation Paperclip’ both the Americans and the Russians fought for who got which nazi after the war. Led to the space race, turns out America picked the right nazi scientists 🤷🏻‍♂️ 🚀

He must be a Democrat.

Would not be surprised if he wins

What were they then? 😑

Zionsville school board candidate says 'All Nazis weren't 'bad'' in social media postDr. Matt Keefer told IndyStar on Wednesday that he was 'not a fan of Nazis.' The leaders of the Nazi Party were 'definitely bad people, but that doesn't mean the common folk that were required to join the party were all evil,' he said. Terrifying. Get out and Vote Zionsville!! “Few people were brave enough to publicly speak out or to help Jews, especially when they could be arrested or killed for doing so.' These are the people he was referring to. Everyday people who pretended to conform to survive and save their families. Of the 80 million people who lived in Germany in the early 1940s, about 72 million were not members of the Nazi party. Dr. Keefer needs to go to school, not lead a school board.
