Labor Dept. accused of echoing Nazi slogan in social media post
The video in the post, shared Saturday, features a quick-cut slideshow of artworks depicting glorified scenes of American history, foregrounded by a statue of George Washington.
The caption above that video reads, “One Homeland. One People. One Heritage. Remember who you are, American.”https://www.cnbc.com/2026/01/16/trump-labor-nazi-s...If you don't fit the "Leave It To Beaver" mold, you aren't wanted here.

I noticed in the link that the Dept. of Labor's building is named Frances Perkins.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frances_Perkins
Frances Perkins (born Fannie Coralie Perkins; April 10, 1880[1][2] – May 14, 1965) was an American workers-rights advocate who served as the fourth United States secretary of labor from 1933 to 1945, the longest serving in that position. A member of the Democratic Party, Perkins was the first woman ever to serve in a presidential cabinet. As a loyal supporter of her longtime friend, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, she helped make labor issues important in the emerging New Deal coalition. She advocated for immigrants’ rights as well. She was one of two Roosevelt cabinet members to remain in office for his entire presidency (the other being Interior Secretary Harold L. Ickes).
Perkins's most important role came in developing a policy for social security in 1935. She also helped form government policy for working with labor unions, although some union leaders distrusted her. Perkins's Labor Department helped to mediate strikes by way of the United States Conciliation Service. She dealt with numerous labor issues during World War II, when skilled labor was vital to the economy and women were moving into jobs formerly held by men.[3]
I wonder how long before it will be renamed for that friend of the working man, Donald J. Trump.

George Washington held slaves, but I didn't know he was a literal Nazi, too.

You really should watch the PBS series, “The American Revolution, marco.
Your one dimensional thinking could use a challenge.

Steve, does that mean George Washington was a Nazi?
If George Washington like french fries and Hitler also like french fries, does that make George Washington a Nazi too?
It's clear that you Steve (and pretty much every single one of your Lefty comrades on this board) has never taken any formal or informal education in basic logic.

"The American Revolution" says George Washington was a Nazi?
Then it's a waste of time for anyone with a brain to watch, isn't it?

They are right. One heritage would be ludicrous if it wasn't so chilling. For about 40 years we only let Western Euros in, but we stopped that. Stephen Miller?
"Stephen Miller (the political advisor) is of Ashkenazi Jewish descent, with family roots tracing back to Eastern European Jewish immigrants who fled Russian pogroms and persecution to come to America, making his background one of refugee heritage."
Nefster:
"The U.S. restricted Eastern European immigration primarily through the Immigration Acts of the 1920s (especially 1924), driven by post-WWI fears of radicalism (communism/anarchism), economic anxieties, and a rise in nativism, with a goal to preserve America's "homogeneity" by favoring Northern Europeans through national origin quotas. This era saw a backlash against Southern and Eastern Europeans, who were seen as culturally different and less desirable, influenced by racial theories and economic competition."
The question is - do we pull back out of this or continue descending?

Steve, does that mean George Washington was a Nazi?
Nope. I never said he was. His image was embraced by the Nazis. Didn't someone say that if fascism comes to the US, it will be carrying a Bible in one hand, and a US flag in the other?
