OPINION:
Just days after an assassin’s bullet barely missed killing former President Donald Trump, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, New York Democrat, called him a racist neo-Nazi. Comparing Mr. Trump to Hitler or claiming that he’s a threat to democracy is as much of a stretch as saying Vice President Kamala Harris did an outstanding job as “border czar.”
We know Hitler weaponized the judicial system. The FBI raided Mr. Trump’s home with authorization to use deadly force and staged documents. When asked if Mr. Trump would ever become president, FBI agent Peter Strzok said: “No, he won’t. We’ll stop it.”
n FBI agent testified that the agency verified the authenticity of Hunter Biden’s laptop before the 2020 election. New York Attorney General Letitia James said she is prepared to seize Mr. Trump’s assets.
Hitler used his control of the media to spread lies about his opponents. For almost four years, the major U.S. news networks refused to report on President Biden’s obvious cognitive decline. The man’s quotes about a “bloodbath,” “I’ll be a dictator on day one” and “There were good people on both sides” were all taken out of context, they said.
Mr. Trump asking the Jan. 6 crowd to march “peacefully and patriotically” was rarely reported by the mainstream media. His supposed collusion with Russia, however, was obediently and ceaselessly reported as true (but was later proved to be a hoax).
Hitler squashed voting rights. Democrats let the party elite choose their nominee for president. So who’s more like the Nazis — Mr. Biden and the Democrats, or Mr. Trump and the Republicans?
