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:

    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.
