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
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
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
