An official in the Interior Department compared student survivors of the Parkland school shooting to Nazis on his personal Facebook page.
In one post, Kevin Sabo, acting chief of the Office of Congressional and Legislative Affairs at the Bureau of Reclamation in the Interior Department, shared an article from conservative commentator Ben Shapiro showing Parkland student David Hogg with a raised fist.
He added the comment: Is this child giving a nazi salute? What the hell is the left doing to these kids?
Sabos controversial posts were first reported by Talking Points Memo, and most appear to have been removed from his Facebook page, though the one about the salute could still be seen on Monday.
In one post reported by TPM that can no longer be seen on his Facebook page, Sabo wrote, The Nazis took everyones guns away too. A lot of similarities with these kids.
Sabo is a career employee at the Bureau of Reclamation, serving as a civil service congressional affairs liaison. He was hired before the Trump administration.

He was sentenced to 18 months in prison and disbarred in D.C. after being convicted in 2000 in a Virginia court for attempting to maliciously wound a girlfriend by cutting the brakes to her car. The woman crashed her car into a fence, but there were no injuries.
