We have’t heard much from John Dingell lately.

The 91-year-old Michigander served his state in Congress for 60 years before retiring in 2015. Age, it seems, has not diminished him.

After Nazi and white supremacist violence engulfed the Charlottesville, Virginia, Dingell took a moment out of his very well earned retirement to offer what was probably the realest condemnation of the tragedy and those who caused it.

“I signed up to fight Nazis 73 years ago and I’ll do it again if I have to, ” he said. “Hatred, bigotry, & fascism should have no place in this country.”

13. I remember hearing a historian say that history has a tendency to repeat itself after 80 years.

The older generation who actually lived through this shit is dying off.

The 'greatest generation' who fought Nazis.

16. I wonder how many

have grandkids in that vile group? If so, they probably disowned them by now. No veteran of WWII would tolerate being around a Nazi sympathizer. Thank you, Rep. Dingell.

22. Rep Dingell was my congressman; we need new 30yo John Dingells

One more thing, remember that: At the beginning of every Congress, Dingell introduced a bill providing for a national health insurance system, the same bill that his father proposed while he was in Congress.
