"Singing is what brought your family together," CNN anchor Anderson Cooper replied. "Yeah," she chuckled.
"So, now that you don't have singing..." Cooper followed.
"Now, I have to be careful because we've had so much taken away from us by this administration that I'm not willing to let them take my family relationships away," Ronstadt continued. "My family -- the parts that are Republican were fairly rational Republicans. We don't have that in our current White House."
It's unclear exactly when the interview took place; the network released clips from the sitdown over the weekend.
The Grammy-winning artist went into detail about the "great parallels" she saw between the rise of Trump and Nazi Germany and how both leaders, according to her, were "uncontrollable."
"By the time he got established, he put his own people in place and stacked the courts and did what he had to do to consolidate his power," Ronstadt elaborated. "And, we got Hitler and he destroyed Germany, he destroyed centuries of intellectual history forward and backward."
Cooper replied, "I think a lot of people, though, would be surprised to hear comparisons between what happened then and now."
"If you read the history, you won't be surprised. It's exactly the same," Ronstadt doubled down. "Find a common enemy for everybody to hate. I was sure that Trump was going to get elected the day he announced, and I said it's gonna be like Hitler, and the Mexicans are the new Jews. And, sure enough, that's what he delivered, you know."

I just "followed" a person on Twitter by the handle of "Deplorable Jew" or some sort. He posted a compilation of attacks caught on film this year in NYC. Felt like I was watching a colorized 30's compilation of Nazi Germany. Un F'ing believable!!!
If Mexicans are the new Jews, are the cartels Nazi Jews?
An old friend of mine was John Denver’s nanny many years ago. She spent some time with Linda and declared her a prima donna beyotch.
My friend did get to go fishing with Steve Martin at the time and said he was a decent, and well, funny guy. :)
I don’t like his politics today, but back in the early ‘80’s, things were not so polarized.
Sounds like Linda is worse than ever.
What a nitwit and has-been loaer.
What a nitwit and has-been loser.
Because Hitler rounded up ALL the Jews in Germany and sent them back to Israel until they could get their green cards, right?
So you’re saying Hitler built a wall to keep the Jews from illegally taking the jobs that Germans wouldn’t do? Like in construction?
Dumb and dumber
At her age with her health issues, have her handlers told her what a long reach it is from former relevance to current acknowledgement?

She probably thinks Germans bombed Pearl Harbor. I can almost see her now as she’s watching that famous scene from Animal House thinking, “Why is everybody laughing?”
Speaking of stacking the courts, she might want to read up on what her hero, FDR, tried to do with the courts.
Merry Christmas, Linda. Ask Salon’s Amanda Marcotte to decode that for you.
White Mexicans who control the Mexican government have treated the Mestizos, more like Hitler, than Trump ever could.
BREAKING NEWS: Entertainer has weird opinion.
$130 million? Won’t get her out of that wheelchair.
Well, to be fair, the El Paso shooter’s manifesto clearly contains anti-Hispanic utterances. It is also anti-corporate and pro-environmentalist and pro-universal healthcare and basic income...maybe Linda would have been happier if more American citizens were murdered.

I'm sorry to see her in such physical and apparently mental decline. I never bought anything she produced, but I thought she deserved her fame.
Did you mean George Lucas? George Cukor was gay and died at the age of 84 in 1983.
