What’s going on in Flint, Michigan? It’s a madhouse over at the city council.
Things descended into chaos when a city council member by the name of Eric Mays gave a Nazi salute during a public meeting.
But it’s not exactly what you’re thinking.
Here’s what happened:

Back on January 14, Mays clashed with council president Monica Galloway over a “rules debate.”
“You ain’t got to be like Hitler,” Mays told Galloway said as he flashed the Nazi salute.
Galloway insisted she’s no Hitler, but Mays refused to relent.
“You sound like it from where I sit. Like Hitler. What you want me to do?” Mays said as he stomped his foot and jutted his right arm in the air.
Seconds later, he repeated the reference.
“Do you want me to communicate with you like Hitler?” Mays said.
The outlandish behavior drew little response from Galloway at the time, and she simply moved on to other business. But leaders of the city’s Jewish community complained about the reference, and urged city leaders to do something about it, the Detroit Free Press reports.
“We take very seriously anyone who trivializes or minimizes the Holocaust and Hitler and I’m very sad and disappointed — sad that Mr. Mays is either appallingly insensitive or so ignorant that he would make a comparison between the head of the city council and Hitler,” Flint Jewish Confederation Executive Director Steven Low told the Free Press. “It’s appalling, it’s sad, it’s insulting.”
On Monday, city council members voted 6-0 to remove Mays from his leadership roles as council vice president and chairman of the finance committee. Two council members were not present for the vote, MLive reports. [American Mirror [2]]
After backlash, the Flint City Council voted unanimously to strip Councilman Eric Mays of his leadership roles.

Honestly, this type of behavior can be traced right back to the fake news media and irresponsible Democrat politicians who have bandied about the term “Nazi” like it means absolutely nothing – and that’s insulting to a lot of people.
Example: Trump is a “Nazi,” his supporters are “Nazis,” milk is a “Nazi” for crying out loud. Everything is “Nazi-ish” nowadays. And when you do that – when you overuse a word or term it’s like “crying wolf,” nobody takes it seriously anymore.

I have been called a “Nazi” so many times online, now I just roll my eyes and say “thanks!”
That’s what the insane left has done to this word.
The left did the same thing with the word “racist.”
They diluted it and used it so much that it no longer has meaning. And that’s not good, because now truly evil people will just be written off as “no big deal.”
