If you thought that leftists were through with likening Donald Trump to Hitler after their insane and hysterical rhetoric contributed mightily to their catastrophic losses in the 2024 election, think again. On Saturday, Rep. James Clyburn (D-Nazi Hunter) dragged out this hoary and stupid canard yet again on Fox News Channel’s “Cavuto Live,” signaling that the Führer is not likely to be allowed to return to the dustbin of history anytime over the coming four years.
Clyburn wants us to know that he has studied history, and that therefore we should take his warning with the utmost seriousness. He told Neil Cavuto that the country had clearly lurched to the right in the recent election, and added: “I hope it’s not going as far right as that which happened in Germany in the 1930s, which, you may remember, I forewarned way back in 2018 that I saw this coming. I’ve studied history all of my life.… And I can tell you what I said back in 2018 on another network is now coming to pass. People chastised me for saying it at that time, but now they are seeing it.”
He did indeed give us the same warning back in 2018, saying back then: “Adolf Hitler was elected chancellor of Germany. And he went about the business of discrediting institutions to the point that people bought into [it]. Nobody would have believed it now. But swastikas hung in churches throughout Germany. We had better be very careful.” Maybe Clyburn was “chastised” for saying this because it didn’t make any sense and wasn’t even accurate on its face.
Clyburn demonstrates his ignorance first off by claiming that Hitler was “elected chancellor of Germany.” The Weimar Republic didn’t hold direct elections for chancellor. Modern Germany doesn’t, either. The chancellor of Germany is akin to the British prime minister: he or she is usually the leader of the majority party in the nation’s parliament, the Bundestag, or Reichstag, as it was known in Hitler’s day. In Weimar Germany, the president appointed the chancellor; if no party had a Reichstag majority, he would appoint the representative of the leading party or the leader of a coalition.
In Jan. 1933, when Hitler became chancellor, his National Socialist party was indeed the largest party in the Reichstag, but the largest percentage of the vote it got before Hitler took power was only 37.3%. Hitler was appointed chancellor as the leader of a coalition that was supposed to restrain him, a task at which it signally failed. Hitler then prevailed upon the Reichstag, after the highly suspicious fire in the Reichstag building that he blamed on the Communists, allowing him to expel them from the assembly, to grant him dictatorial powers that were ostensibly only temporary, in light of the national emergency.
There is more. Read the rest here.

I seem to recall this ‘representative’ of a small portion of the American people was first in line to whine when photos of obama were surfacing wearing a nazi-era uniform and small square moustache.

Democrat losers never have lost gracefully, showing the true vile nature of thought and personality.

“Maybe Clyburn was “chastised” for saying this because it didn’t make any sense and wasn’t even accurate on its face.”
Seems a statement that could be used to characterize much of the left. Not that they’d ever acknowledge that. They’re the elite and know more than the rest.

Clyburn and his horde of ignorant and stupid followers gave us Biden and the Kamala. Thanks dummy

They are historical ignoramuses. These are probably the people who think that US history started somewhere around 1619

He may ‘have studied history,’ but he didn’t learn anything. As people have said, ‘you can’t fix stupid.’
Ms. Justine Bateman played “Mallory” on “Family Ties.” The character was written to seem silly and ignorant as opposed to her brother and sister.
But Ms. Bateman said that Mr. Trump’s win means a return to free speech and the demise of “woke.’ She is more qualified than this idiot who has some idea that he’s a smart guy and a foreteller of events.
“chastise, chastise, chastise.’ (It wasn’t enough the first time)
The fight for Truth, Justice and Freedom is not yet over.

There is a macabre irony in Hitler:he wanted to wipe out the Jews,then… when his 1000 year reich collapsed after 12 years-blaming everyone for the failure-he kills himself..only to be Judged by a religious Jew
Jews and christians may see things differently ,but that God has a plan involving the Jews is clear is in the Bible.
The switcherooney trick
SOME Jews and “Christians ” are clearly part of the Globalist elite but not ALL Jewish people
This alleged Genocide in Gaza….
This false media reporting and this RED-GREEN AXIS want you think it is ALL
The National Socialists i believe were LEFTIES and not “far right” :the name nazi comes from the NSDAP the nattonal SOCIALIST workers party
The communists too are clearly lefties.Mussolini was originally a socialist but decided to become a fascist
Both sides of the SAME coin!
if you are calling for the displacement of the Jews from their own homeland whilst claiming to be a socialist..you are no different to a nazi..and you don’t even get the IRONY of it!
Skeptiker says
Genau so ist es. Ich hätte es nicht schöner darlegen können. Sollte mal ins Bildungsprogramm an den Schulen aufgenommen werden. Dann könnte es mit der Zukunft klappen.
Hank says
It does not have anything to do with Hitler.
Trump surviving and winning the popular vote is more like a Nineveh moment for America (Jonah 3:10)
A last chance to repent from Woke culture and not getting itself under judgement for turning everything upside down, especially His moral laws for society and abandoning the Bible and America’s biblical foundation.
I just hope Trump doesn’t blow his popular vote by appointing the wrong people.
John Eddy says
James Clyburn has a HISTORY of anti-conservative and anti-Constitutionalist rhetoric that comes from his association with the so-called Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), which was founded by communists and would become EXTREMLELY violent under Stokely Carmichael (later Kwame Ture) and H. Rap Brown (later Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin).
SC says
The January 6th prosecutions already showed us exactly who the fascists were and still are. Hopefully they will all pay their dues to the people real soon.
WPM says
Yes the commie idiots are mad that the majority of Americans believe in borders ,control and sane immigration .Not transiting children against their patents wishes .Not believing the green scam ,or the religion of climate change .That most people want thieves ,rapist, violent thugs both illegal alien and the home grown thugs locked up ,safe streets ,and for their kids to learn basic math ,writing skills ,and reading in public schools vs woke religion non-sense .They are very upset that most Americans would not vote for an empty pants suit and her running mate a Chinese communist government worshipping idiot .So everyone else who disagrees with them ,or wants sane ,stable environment in their community to raise their children is a Nazi. They want to run your life they know best , they want to tell you what to eat ,where to live ,what to worship , what kind of house to live in ,what type if any what kind of car to drive ,they want your child, they will tell you when to be put down ,they hate your free will.
James Lincoln says
Clyburn graduated from South Carolina State University with a bachelor’s degree in history.
Apparently, he learned nothing.
bill says
I would like to see the lsit of books with which he has studied history. I have studied history too especially the Nazi era. People like him and the other leftists are so ignorant they cannot see the extent of their ignorance. He should be advised that a little knowledgeis a dangerous thing.

Another Leftist Calls Trump Hitler — Do Any of These Clowns Know What Hitler Really Did?
…………………………………………..
Some are just ignorant–some know but don’t care.
What is the case with Congressman James Clyburn? Let’s look at this record. He didn’t want the 20 Ohio Electoral College votes for George Bush to be counted in 2004. He voted to impeach President Trump–twice. In 2017 he voted against a House resolution condemning the UN condemning democratic Israel.
Pretty much a thug.
