The statement 'Who’s next? NAMBLA?' in response to a tweet about the IRS Union endorsing Kamala Harris is a provocative and inflammatory comment. It implies a negative association by referencing NAMBLA (North American Man/Boy Love Association), a controversial and widely condemned organization, in the context of a political endorsement. This statement appears to be intended to discredit or mock the endorsement by drawing an extreme and inappropriate comparison.
