Jim Clyburn Tells Fux Noise Viewers: Trumpism 'Parallels' Nazism

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Congressman Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.) went on Fox News and stood behind his comments pointing out the historic “parallels” he sees between the Nazi party in the 1930s and the cult of Donald Trump now.

“You’ve repeatedly made comments about Hitler, about Nazism, about Germany in the 1930s in recent years,” Fox News Sunday host Shannon Bream said to the congressman. “You’ve gotten a lot of pushback from that from Jewish organizations and others who say it belittles the suffering of the Holocaust, of the millions who lost their lives. Your response?”

This past Thursday, Clyburn said that Trump’s framing of the media as “the enemy of the people” is similar to how Nazis demonized the press. “This country is on track to repeat what happened in Germany when it was the greatest democracy going, when it elected a chancellor that then co-opted the media,” Clyburn told Fox News Digital.

While some have criticized Clyburn’s comparisons, it’s worth noting that even Trump himself has complained that the U.S. military was not more like Nazi Germany’s. A book on his presidency by reporters Susan Glasser and Peter Baker quoted Trump complaining to his then-chief of staff, Gen. John Kelly, “You fucking generals, why can’t you be like the German generals… in World War II?”

He speaks the truth.

3. I've

Been saying ever since Trump threw his hat in the ring back in 2015, that he is doing everything he can to become a modern day Adolf Hitler. I agree with Clyburn. The parallels are shocking between Nazism and the way people are behaving today that support the Maga Republicans.

13. Talking about fascism of the 1930s is not belittling the suffering of the Holocaust.

I’ve gotten the same response right here on DU when singling out fascist policy being promoted in state governments. But we see it now on Fox as a talking point to fool the Fox audience and Clyburn had the perfect response.
