Nikki Fried, the Florida Agriculture Commissioner and Democratic candidate to challenge Ron DeSantis for the governorship, thought it was appropriate to compare her political rival to Adolf Hitler.
“Instead of listening and trying to govern with the people, he is trying to govern over the people, and, you know that, I’m sorry, I’m a student of history too. I saw the rise of Hitler,” Fried said on Florida public radio on Friday.
When the host asked if she was making a direct comparison between DeSantis and Hitler, Fried said, “In a lot of ways, yes.”
“I have studied Hitler and how he got to power, you know, wanting his own militia,” she continued. “The reason why this governor wants it is different than the other states that have been utilizing it for emergency purposes.”
“This governor is doing it for the sole purposes of power and doing so to make fear and… blaming certain parts of our society and culture, and that’s exactly what Hitler did to the Jews back during World War II.”
DeSantis press secretary Christina Pushaw blasted Fried’s comparison in a statement to Fox News.
“Nikki Fried’s claim that Governor DeSantis is a modern-day Hitler is as offensive as it is absurd,” she said. “With this hysterical comparison, Fried not only smears millions of Floridians as Nazis, but also trivializes Hitler’s crimes against humanity.”

That’s funny, so many Dems have been vacationing & moving to Florida. Even AOC AKA(The Covid Spreader) just recently went & got humped by a fan.
Its stupid coming from EITHER side of the political aisle and shows the immaturity and ignorance of the speake, D OR R. Having said that, WHERE was the headline writer for the past several years when one MAGA politician after another has used Hitler and the Shoah comparisons against Dems when dealing with mask and Covid mandates etc.
HITLER WAS A DEMOCRAT!
If anything, all democrats are comparable to hitler
Effectively Nikki Fried has just handed over the governorship to Ron DeSantis
The accompanying picture is sort of confusing. Nikki Fried is a woman. This photo is of Ron DiSantos
Oops! Ron DeSantis
Hitler killed millions. Ron Desantis has only killed tens of thousands. Bad comparison
All Ms. Fried did was take a page out of the DNC playbook. They’ve been calling former President Trump a Nazi & Hitler for the last 4+ years and the corrupt media was as quiet as a mouse. They’ve been calling many Republican candidates across the Country, running for all positions, white supremacist & Hitler. Even Joe Biden and his girlfriend Jen Psaki have been insinuating such dog whistles. Every Republican opponent is automatically a racist. The good news is that it hasn’t worked, and adaraba, it has backfired time and time again. The American voters are sick and tired of this crap. It sure worked against Glenn Youngkin, no? Nikki just stepped in it and will lose in a landslide. That will only help Ron win the Republican nomination for President in 2024.
Makes no difference. Jewish libs will vote Democrat no matter what. The ‘frum askonim’ will advocate for the Democrat in the hopes of receiving a quarter or maybe even 50 cents.
Gadolhadora, where is your intelligence and compassion when you continue to use the turn Trumpkoph? You’re just like Fried.
most people-despite all the attempts at educating others- are still so ignorant and throw around and cheapen the word holocaust and other terms, salutes, images and so forth with absolutely no understanding –they [most of the world] will never “get it”…..let’s just face it.
Rats rats DemocRATs
“If anything, all democrats are comparable to hitler”
Chayalev: Be careful that your disgusting comment doesn’t come back to bite you. I’m assuming you are just ignorant rather than deliberately trying to bring about bad things for those around you. Fried’s words are disgusting but sadly we hear those comparisons from politicians on BOTH sides of the aisle. Normally, one expects a more civil and informed level of discourse here.
147, I hope you’re right.
Florida has many elderly, some who may have gone through the war and their vote might be swayed by this dumb, stupid, AN WHOLLY INACCURATE inconsiderate comment.

But to compare Dr. Fauci to Josef Mengele yimach shmo is not only OK but praiseworthy.
She blinded and confused…sad to see.
Nikki Fried-
“I’m a student of history”…
Seriously?
More like a failure student. If she ever graduated elementary school… our school systems are failing us.
This is one crazed kook. She’ll never become anything in any government.
He complains to much. The Democrats compare Trump to the “devil” (in their mythology, the “devil” is an independent force equal to the Creator).
DeSantis Haley 2028
If DeSantis is Hitler, then who is Cuomo???????
@Saul B.
I pashut love that chap.
Coumo maybe is like titus, or maybe nevuchadnetzar and titus ad hitler and stalin and all the reshaim combined, times 4.
Oh, and times that by 2,000,
