Appearing on CNN with Anderson Cooper, singer Linda Ronstadt compared President Trump to Hitler and says she sees “great parallels” between the United States now and the Weimar Republic in Germany.
Anderson Cooper:
I’ve read that you have read a lot about the Weimar Republic in Germany, and you sort of see parallels between then and now.
Linda Ronstadt:
Great parallels. I mean the intelligentsia of Berlin and literati and all artists were just doing their thing, and as Hitler rose to power, there were a lot of chances to stop him, and they didn’t speak out. The industrial complex thought they could control him once they got him in office, and of course, he was not controllable.
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, and we got Hitler. He destroyed Germany, destroyed centuries of intellectual history, forward and backward. People like Beethoven, Goethe, and Thomas Mann became jokes. They became Nazi laughing stocks.

I think a lot of people would be surprised to hear comparisons between what happened then and now.
Linda Ronstadt:
If you read the history, you won’t be surprised. It is exactly the same. You find a common enemy for everybody to hate. I was sure that Trump was going to get elected the day he announced. I said he’s going to—it is going to be like Hitler and the Mexicans are the new Jews. And sure enough, that is what he delivered.
Another celeb makes the list.
It’s finally hit her brain.

You mean like this?

This is the outcome of the Leftist infiltration of our education system. You can see it goes way back.
I was not aware that Jews were illegally invading Germany. /s
Linda, please, I loved your music when we were both young, but you do not know what you are talking about. I am not going to try an convince you that you are wrong, we are both too old for that. But HITLER, really, that is the best you got?
Looks like she’s trying to revive a failed career. Trashing Trump gets her in the news.
So this time around the new Jews are trying to get into Germany as opposed to leaving? Got it. /Sarc
Jews are the new Jews.
Looks like everything hits her mouth first.
Just shut up unless you’re singing.
Go back to obscurity
That’s Pat Benetar
She looks like another angry, old leftist.
And, that bowl cut isn't doing her any favors, either....
LOL!
“””””’Looks like she’s trying to revive a failed career. Trashing Trump gets her in the news.”””””””
Unfortunately, I actually saw this interview last night.
I would say it was unbelievable but nothing surprises me these days.
She has Parkinsons and is losing her voice. She said she used to be able to tolerate her Republican relatives because they would sing when they got together instead of spewing hate.
The thing that I took from this interview is that she is NUKKEN FUTS.
Same old, Same old
Nixon is Hitler
Reagan is Hitler
Bush is Hitler
yadda yadda yadda
A singer whose career peaked over 40 years ago. We should listen to her.
She really does. With that ugly confidence of her idiotic conventions.
What sort of information gets through to her? What inhabits her greasy little brain?
Mexicans are the new Jews? The Jews were attempting to FLEE Hitler's Germany. Something nasty is lodged deep down under the layers of hate.
Makes you wonder how many Jews the Ronstadts fingered back in the Fuhrer's day?
