Did Kyle Langford, a Republican candidate for governor of California, post a photo of himself in front of the Auschwitz-Stammlager Nazi concentration camp, along with the description “My 0% Unemployment Plan”? Yes, that’s true: Screenshots of the X post were authentic. In response to criticism for the post, Langford insisted “I wasn’t joking, I think it is exactly what is needed…”
The screenshot appeared in a July 26, 2025, post on Instagram (archived here), which criticized Langford, calling his post “hatred in disguise”. This is what it looked like at the time of publication:
Has it affected his candidacy?
Should affect his life expectancy
Really needs to. California needs to make it very clear: nazis who dont like drugs and kink aren’t tolerated here.
Look, i know, but you cant nuke sf and palo alto without hitting oakland. It just can’t be done.
He’s probably being prepped for a trump cabinet position after this
he’s a clown and a nobody. zero chance he gets even 5% of the vote in the primary.

for republicans: chad bianco and steve hilton are the likely serious contender at this time. primary isn’t for another year tho, the actual election isn’t for 1.5 years
considering California’s voting style and Newsom’s reaction to Trump being approved of even when people arn’t happy about him. This dude has a massive uphill battle
