GOP Rep. Higgins Slammed for Posting Videos From Inside Auschwitz Gas Chamber

The Auschwitz concentration camp memorial in Poland criticized Rep. Clay Higgins, R-La., for posting videos from inside the Nazi gas chambers and crematorium.

In the video, posted by NOLA.com, Higgins filmed around the memorial, saying, "A great sense of dread comes over you in this place.

"It's hard to walk away from gas chambers and ovens without a very sober feeling of commitment, unwavering commitment to make damn sure that the United States of America is protected from the evils of the world," Higgins said in the video.

"This is why homeland security must be squared away, why our military must be invincible," Higgins said.

The Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and State Museum responded to Higgins' video in a tweet:

Everyone has the right to personal reflections. However, inside a former gas chamber, there should be mournful silence. It's not a stage. https://t.co/AN5aA1bYEU
