Just another day in a bizarre house judiciary hearing which some republicans felt the need to bring up comparisons to Nazis, I think they are running out of hyperbole. How does a congressman like Gohmert get elected to office, hard to believe at one time he was a judge.

Quote:
WASHINGTON - With the president and other Republicans regularly trying to slap the label of "socialist" on Democrats, Rep. Louie Gohmert and others took the effort a step further by conflating Nazis -- the genocidal fascists who led Germany in World War II -- with socialists.
"The potential is out there for another Hitler, a socialist like Hitler to come along" unless Congress puts a check on the Justice Department, the East Texas Republican warned Tuesday at a Judiciary Committee hearing.
When several Democrats sought to set him straight about the difference between genuine socialists and National Socialist German Workers' Party -- known as Nazis -- Gohmert insisted that he was correct.
"I'm sorry -- we need to do everything we can to avoid another Holocaust," he said, but "they were the National Socialist Party. It's what they were. ... They claimed to be socialists, and they were."

Both socialists and both seem to really hate Jews.

Louis Gohmert is a few fries short of a happy meal.

No, the Nazis were fascists, and socialists don't all hate Jews.

You sound like Louie Gohmert, the Nazis were not socialists but they sure did hate Jews.

Gohmert has never been the sharpest tool in the shed.

He forgot to mention Republicans as well.

Just to make it simple:

Statists - socialists
Anarchists - capitalists

Louie is truly one of those rare people who looks, acts, dresses and has a voice that that perfectly matches the goofy crap that comes out of his mouth. The Hayseed variety. LOL.

Today's head Leftist, Donald Trump, just infringed on property rights with his bump stock ban.

Adolf is smiling from down below on that one.
