It has been a while since a mainstream politician compared President Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler. While the media does this every day, some public officials are holding back on the Hitler comparisons.
Until now.
Speaking at a campaign event, former Representative Beto O’Rourke (D-TX), who is aiming to be the First Dude of the United States of America, compared the Trump administration to the Third Reich.
“I compared the rhetoric that the president has employed to the rhetoric that you might have heard during the Third Reich,” O’Rourke said. “Calling human beings an ‘infestation’ is something we might have expected to hear in Nazi Germany.”
Ugh.
First, Trump was referring to the presence of the barbaric, violent, and odious MS-13 gang as an “infestation.”
Second, this is the second time O’Rourke uttered fake news pertaining to the president and migrants (SEE: Beto O’Rourke repeats fake news, claims Trump called immigrants ‘animals’).
Third, his other remarks are flat out lies; Trump did not ban an entire religion.
Democrat Beto O’Rourke lies a lot right here:
-Trump said “we have an ‘infestation’ of MS-13 gangs in certain parts of our country”
-The travel ban is not a Muslim ban
-Trump never said neo-Nazis and KKK members were “very fine people”
-The remaining comments need more context pic.twitter.com/vwhSlw2IlG— Ryan Saavedra (@RealSaavedra) April 6, 2019
Third, is O’Rourke’s candidacy a parody of a typical leftist running for public office? His vague statements using leftist buzzwords are the makings of a political bid similar to that of Vermin Supreme.
He will likely lose the nomination, but if he is selected as a running mate, then he has the opportunity to embarrass himself more than Dan Quayle.
Either Democrats are ignorant of their own history or are in denial. Back in the 1930s socialist saw Hitler as the future of mankind. Socialist flocked to Germany to worship at his feet and to sing his praises. In 1938 Time made him Man of the Years. He was one of them
