    He drew a swastika next to a AfD candidates name. Not sure what the big deal is, they are straight up Nazi’s. Doesn’t seem like he should feel compelled to resign for calling a spade a spade.

      The big deal is that he broke the law. In some countries that’s the end of a political career.

        When is half of the Bundestag stepping down then? They broke all sorts of rules but sometimes got rewarded instead.
