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:
he sure is leaning hard into that look… just needs a toothbrush moustache to top it off.
hatred in disguise
That’s a weird way to say “capitally punishable”
Dude has a face as hateable as Martin Shkreli.

I don’t think it’s funny to joke about such serious things.
It seems like a great idea.
Has it affected his candidacy?

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
I mean could he just turn himself in at a prison if he wants to work as slave labor
