California gubernatorial candidate posted '0% unemployment plan' featuring image of Auschwitz



Kyle Langford, a declared California gubernatorial candidate, posted a picture of himself in front of the Auschwitz concentration camp with the caption, “My 0% Unemployment Plan.”

Rating: True

In late July 2025, claims that a California man allegedly running for governor posted a picture of himself in front of the Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland with the caption "My 0% Unemployment Plan" circulated online.

The man in question was Kyle Langford, an aspiring politician who declared himself a candidate for governor in the upcoming 2026 California gubernatorial election. He described his "political philosophy" as "Christian Eco-Nationalism," which he said "blends moral framework and law-and-order pragmatism with a unique Californian identity," according to his answers on a Ballotpedia survey.

"Christian Eco-Nationalism,"... as long as you are the right kind of Christian.

He wants to deport the men who are undocumented but allow the undocumented women a year to marry an incel in California and start families or get deported.

There’s more of his employment history. No political experience at all.

All very well and good, except you're supposed to be installing counters. And you're running for governor after just 2 years in the state?

There are always a bunch of clowns on the primary ballot because all it takes to get on is a certain amount of signatures or a sum of money. Reading their statements in the voters' guide is amusing, but only the top two go on to the November election.

on the ballot - has been like that since I can remember.

This kid could use a back hand across the face, though.
