MSNBCs The Beat, Steve Schmidt, John McCains 2008 presidential campaign manager, compared the lockdown protestors in Michigan to the Nazi Partys original wing.

Melber said, You have Michigan state Senator Dayna Polehanki, Directly above me, men with rifles yelling at us. Some of my colleagues who own bulletproof vests are wearing them. I have never appreciated our Sergeants-at-Arms more than today. Your view of this, Steve?
Schmidt said, This is appalling. Someone needs to explain to me what the difference is between those guys and a bunch of brown-shirted Stormtroopers in 1925 is. Im very serious about this. This is about the Second Amendment. This isnt about gun ownership. These are temples of democracy, these buildings, where we with test the premise each generation, whether we retain the capacity to govern ourselves. Free speech is important in this country. They are not protesters. When you show up in tactical gear carrying a tactical weapon an AR-15, an M-4, an AK-47, youre there to intimidate. Youre assaulting the tenants of our system, which is a system that exists to preserve the rule of law, that is the oldest constitutional republic in the world. We should not think for a second, as were at the dawn of a new moment in history, that because extremism didnt rise in a way that was able to take over the country in the past that its not still here and it still doesnt pose a threat. Nobody should be comforted by those images whether youre a Trump supporter, whether youre a Biden supporter, whether youre not going to vote at all. We dont do that in this country. That is an appalling image, and it makes us look like a basket case as they are beamed out around the world to our allies and to our enemies.

They have no idea of history or are deliberately lying about it.
Yes. I love this sight. I LOVE the idea that people around the world are watching normal people get in the face of oppressive tyrants with appropriate firepower yet not using them. The press can spin this all they want, but when other people around the world see this, they can start to associate individual liberty with prosperity.
McStain, nuff said.
The Marxist Media once again shows itself to be the enemy of the People. Also, the Coronavirus is looking more like a Reichstag Fire. So which side deserves to be compared to the Nazis?
Don’t want you as an ally.
Optics. Eat your optics.
South Dakota offered a Parade to their freedom oriented Governator.
Is Witless different from Noem?
Oh so you think we should just sit there line good little children and not fight for our rights!! You stay home and the rest of us will get the damn country open again!!!
Nuff said.
That’s rich coming from a Democrat BROWN noser.
If we only had men like these in Virginia
Anybody got a picture of what they did in WI a few years back?
Squatted there for days and trashed the Capitol building
And THOSE were teachers!
Oh the drama! The only “Brown-Shirted Stormtroopers” I see are coming from their side.
I cant wait until people like Schmidt get what they deserve.
Looks like it.
The only brown shirts are those imposing the unwanted and draconian lock down on the rest of us while they ignore it as they please.
Where was this guy when Antifa was attacking and beating people on the west coast... ?
Wrong analogy. Stormtroopers shot people. The patriots didnt even unholster their weapons. To all you libs out there, heed this warning. These people didn’t buy guns because they are collectors. They bought them to use them....against assholes, and you libs have made it clear who you are! Right now they are restrained. If they ever get the taste of tyranical blood, lets just say the civil war will look like a day at Disney World by comparison.
Sure, Nazis always protested for freedom.
She supports Biden for President.
