"Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL) sounded off to Fox News's Maria Bartiromo Sunday about the dangers of calling President Donald Trump Hitler despite the fact that Vice President J.D. Vance has used those very words. In 2016, Vance texted a friend, I go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical asshole like Nixon who wouldn't be that bad (and might even prove useful) or that he's America's Hitler. How's that for discouraging? The text came to light as Vance ran for an Ohio Senate seat in 2022."
"The rhetoric that led us to this moment, calling President Trump a fascist, calling him Hitler. You had news organizations and mainstream media celebrating that and allowing those things to take place and be said on their networks. That is dangerous. Britt continued: When you look at that, when you look at where we are, when you look at how we got here Now people that are celebrating Charlie's murder, celebrating a political assassination that should never happen in the United States of America."
Sen. Katie Britt warned that comparisons of President Donald Trump to Hitler and similar incendiary rhetoric create danger and hostility. She blamed news organizations and mainstream media for permitting and amplifying such language on their networks. Britt said that such rhetoric contributed to an environment where people celebrated the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk and called for consequences for those who celebrate political violence. She pledged to hold accountable anyone who celebrated the assassination of a person exercising free speech. The report also notes a 2016 text from J.D. Vance comparing Trump to Hitler.
