Hammering Hank Johnson From Georgia Compares Donald Trump to Hitler

Congressman Dan Crenshaw calls him out.

Indeed, he will be right down the hall from you in the Rayburn Building.

This fool is an embarrassment to the entire human race. Somewhere in the Jungles of Africa the Natives are crying, “Where is our congressman?

Until then put a cork in it, you are an embarrassment to your race but you certainly are not an embarrassment to the racist members of the Congressional Black Caucus.

You are little more than a house boy to all of their true believers.

Hitler was accepting of violence towards the achievement of political objectives.

Trump encouraged violence against protesters at his rallies, and his messaging about Charlottesville – that there were bad people on both sides – sent a powerful message of approval to the far-right racists in America.

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 Jewish people understand tyranny. Charismatic and a good public speaker, deceptive and cunning, Adolf Hitler rose to power to lead Germany in 1932 after democratic elections.

He rode a wave of nationalism and antisemitism to power.

Johnson’s comments are erroneous and offensive and should be condemned by people across the political spectrum.

In his speech, Johnson opined that Trump encouraged violence. However, he failed to mention several calls for incivility involving some of his colleagues. For example, in June 2018, during a Keep Families Together protest and rally, Maxine Waters encouraged her supporters to generate mobs around Republicans.

In a television interview, Hillary Clinton discussed the inability to be civil with a political party that allegedly wants to destroy what you stand for.

Both of these messages directly or implicitly called for incivility.

These calls for incivility were echoed by other prominent Democrats. During a campaign event in Georgia, former attorney general Eric Holder expressed the need to “kick” people who “go low,” while Democratic New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker recommended that “Americans “get up in the face” of politicians they disagree with.
