The Media Research Center unsurprisingly spent the past year frowning on Trump-Hitler comparisons:
- Charlamagne Demands Dems Stop ‘Frolicking With Fascist Bull****,’ Treat Trump Like Hitler
- Daily Show Wonders ‘Is It Too Much To Ask For a President Who Is Not Hitler?’
- Matthews to Acosta: Trump Is Like Hitler And The Holocaust
- NY Times Compares Trump to Hitler for Wanting ‘Science with Practical Results’
- The Smart People Can’t Accept Trump Isn’t Hamas or Hitler or Stalin (Tim Graham column)
- Trump=Hitler Scarborough Now Says America’s ‘Doing Better Than Ever’!
Alex Christy took the WorldNetDaily approach to Trump-Hitler comparisons in an Oct. 29 post:
On Monday, MSNBC host and podcaster Nicolle Wallace welcomed Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker to The Best People for a truly surreal interview. Within the span of only a couple of minutes, Wallace would declare that no Democrat has ever compared President Trump to Adolf Hitler, then claim that if they did, it would be appropriate, and then sit back and listen as Pritzker did precisely that, all while claiming he wasn’t.
Pritzker’s conceit was to say that he wasn’t suggesting that Trump would throw people in death camps, but that what Trump is doing follows a similar authoritarian playbook to one the Nazis used to amass power. With that in mind, Wallace claimed that the Nazi comparisons are completely appropriate:
[…]Fact-check: Democrats can’t stop comparing Trump to Hitler and have also compared non-Trump Republicans to Hitler.
Actually, Christy is the one who forgot to fact-check his employer. Like WND, the MRC has a notable history of likening President Obama to Hitler, including embracing such comparisons made by a Catholic bishop and Hank Williams Jr. Christy didn’t explain why he omitted this important history.
