U.S. Rep. Mark Sanford’s congressional farewell message is a nearly 4,000-word essay that warns of the growing political decay in the era of President Donald Trump.

“I want to be clear and explicit that I am not likening Trump to Hitler, but the forces at play could lead to a future Hitler-like character if we don’t watch out,” he wrote in a Facebook posting Wednesday.

More worrisome, and much more likely, is a Hugo Chavez type figure.

[Dalberg-Acton]

“I want to be clear and explicit that I am not likening Trump to Hitler” as he likens Trump to Hitler.

Well...Bye!

He needs to move permanently to Argentina, change citizenship and run for office there and quit being a boor here.

I personally like Mark Sanford, he is an economic conservative like me. He focuses more on economic conservatism than social conservatism, which is declining nationally.

Had McCain picked Sanford as VP in 2008, he may have had a chance. But no one knew that Sanford had affairs with other women.

But if Sanford is comparing Trump to Hitler, that is a low for Sanford.

Well, since the Nazis were National Socialists, I suppose his warning could apply to any of the current crop of Democrat Socialists and semi-Socialists.

Any chance we can deport him to Argentina?

"I want to be clear and explicit that I am not likening Trump to Hitler, but the forces at play could lead to a future Hitler-like character if we don’t watch out."

That's quite a statement for guy who has no problem with the criminal activities of Hillary, Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Lerner, Lynch, Mills, Podesta, Mueller et.al. and the huge democrat effort to cover them up with a fraudulent investigation.

Or, Hillary Clinton...

[Kickass Conservative]

Take a hike Sanford.

Oh wait, he did, sort of.

Never mind, he wasn’t hiking, he was screwing.

[JohnBrowdie]

drop dead, jaggoff. his seat is in democrat hands because he refused to support the trump-endorsed candidate that defeated him in the primaries.

[Bullish]

That Hitler like character is going to come from the left along with plenty of Stalinist Marxism and mass-murder.

If we sit around and allow that to happen then we’re damn fools and don’t deserve to have liberty.

[BEJ]

Ouu... ouu... Hitler-like forces... ouu... ouu... run and hide now... ouu...

Yeah, we get it, Scamford. Now get lost.

We absolutely ARE watching out for influences that could create a Third Reich. That is precisely why we found it necessary to oust you and several other trouble makers from the hallowed halls of government. More will most certainly follow in your benighted footsteps.

[odawg]

Now he has time to take all the hikes he wants.

[virgil]

The Commiecrat reaction to Trump will most likely be the next Hitler or something close to it. One party rule is what we’ll end up with.

[IronJack]

Then maybe this country shouldn’t duplicate the same sense of reactionism that gave rise to Hitler, namely the constant shaming of patriotism, ridiculing of deep cultural beliefs, oppressive taxation, and the blaming of one generation for another’s mistakes.
