House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-SC) compared the GOP taking majorities after midterms to the rise of Hitler and Nazi Germany during a recent Fox News appearance; look beyond “what you may or may not be paying for gas,” he says.
“This country is on track to repeat what happened in Germany when it was the greatest democracy going, when it elected a chancellor that then co-opted the media,” Clyburn told Fox News Digital on Thursday. “This past president called the press the enemy of the people. That is a bunch of crap. And that is what’s going on in this country.”
“I think that people should be voting in their own self-interest. And their self-interest is much more than what you may or may not be paying for gas or a loaf of bread,” he said.
From Fox News:
President Biden gave an impromptu speech on Wednesday, his last major address before Election Day, in which he seemed to point the finger at the right for the Paul Pelosi attack, while also accusing Republicans of supporting political violence, election denialism and voter intimidation.
Though the South Carolina Democrat decried the right’s “demonization” of Nancy Pelosi that he says is to blame for the attack, Clyburn doesn’t see Biden’s frequent vilification of “ultra-MAGA Republicans” as equivalent.
