Oh I remember the good old days when if you criticized a president you were called racist. Well, I guess that means Hank Johnson hates white people, because he repeatedly compared Trump to Hitler in a recent speech:
FOX NEWS – A Georgia Democratic congressman repeatedly compared President Trump to Adolf Hitler during a fiery speech at a Baptist church in Atlanta this week.
The Atlanta NAACP posted video online of Rep. Hank Johnson’s speech in which he compared the president to the Nazi leader responsible for the killing of 6 million Jews during World War II.
“Much like how Hitler took over the Nazi party, Trump has taken over the Republican Party,” Johnson said Tuesday.
At another point, Johnson said, “Hitler was accepting of violence towards the achievement of political objectives. Trump encouraged violence against protesters at his rallies.”
The congressman also said, “Americans, particularly black Americans, can’t afford to make that same mistake about the harm that could be done by a man named Hitler or a man named Trump.”
The comments, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, took place during a celebration to mark the 156th anniversary of the implementation of the Emancipation Proclamation. During his speech, Johnson repeatedly accused Trump of racism.
“Americans elected an authoritarian, an anti-immigrant, racist strongman to the nation’s highest office,” Johnson said. “Donald Trump and his ‘Make America Great Again’ followers…want to return American back to a time where white men and white privilege were unchallenged, and where minorities and women were in their place.”
This is rich from the man who thinks that Guam might tip over.
Seriously though, the Democrat party cheered Obama on as he acted like an authoritarian (remember DACA?), yet they accuse Trump of being an authoritarian like Hitler?
When has Trump ever defied a court ruling like Obama? When has Trump ever been held in contempt of court for defying the courts? When has Trump ever lawlessly gone completely around Congress and the Constitution?
Yet Trump is like Hitler?
It’s so absurd that it’s not even worth unpacking, to be honest.
The bottom line is that Democrats like Johnson are the worst of hypocrites in the political realm. You can be an authoritarian president so long as Hank and his fellow legislators agree with you. But if you’re a Republican like Trump who abides by the law, then you may as well have killed 6 million Jews because that’s what they are going to accuse of you of doing.
