Billionaire Home Depot Founder Is Not Really Sorry For Nazi Comparison
How do loons like this guy get wealthy in the first place?
It turns out Ken Langone is not actually that sorry for comparing the fight against income inequality to the tactics employed by Nazis in the 1930s.
The billionaire founder of Home Depot had apologized shortly after making the comparison in March. But in an interview published Monday, Langone instead tried his best to defend those remarks.
“I pointed to the election in Germany in 1933 that brought Hitler to power," Langone told Capital New York. "He came to power through a totally democratic process. So I simply said that just because we’re a democracy that doesn’t mean we can’t do bad things!”
Langone continued.
“I was speaking about a democratic process which we have here," he said. "My connection was we never want to put ourselves in a position as a nation where we pit group against group. It had nothing to do with de Blasio or Cuomo or the president or anybody else. I only cited the election that took place in 1933. And I only said the product of that election was the election of an evil horrible human being!”
And he still wasn't done.
“I simply said just because we’re a democracy doesn’t mean you can’t have bad results,” Langone said. “That’s all! I stand on what I said.”

They're liars, bullies, and cheat their way to power. And once they have that power, they use it to ruthlessly crush their opponents or simply buy the competition. It sucks.
