State Rep. Dan Frankel, D-Squirrel Hill, said Monday he was “horrified” by State Rep. Chris Dush’s comments comparing the Wolf administration’s efforts to slow the spread of covid-19 with the Nazi Party.

During a committee hearing Monday, Dush, R-Jefferson, expressed his displeasure with what he perceived as Gov. Tom Wolf’s lack of transparency in releasing coronavirus data and information about the state’s business waiver process.

“The press has been having a very difficult time fulfilling its responsibility to the public getting information out because this governor has repeatedly refused all sorts of information,” said Dush at a House State Government Committee hearing.

“More and more I go back to the Democratic National Socialist Party, the Nazi Party, I go to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the USSR. This is a socialist playbook.”

Frankel said Dush’s comments were out of line.

The comments are more fun to read than the article.

I wonder if Frankel has ever been horrified about the endless idiotic, trivialized and inaccurate comparison of Donald Trump's people to Nazis and white nationalists.

The fact that Trump has Jewish family members and has been the best friend of Israel of any American president since its founding never seems to register on these nuts from Squirrel Hill.

Of course he is horrified that someone had the guts to tell the truth.

Horrified by Nazism, or horrified by free speech?

Spot-on Rep. Dush.

Call it like it is, and DO NOT BACK DOWN.

Wolf needs to be held accountable, ridiculed, abused and generally trashed by all Republicans in PA. Never let up. Never have a kind word to say. Take the damn gloves off and kick is mother loving ass. (metaphorically speaking) We are fighting tyranny.

Did you realize that tranny piece of schiff was one of Wolf’s first appointees? Tells you exactly the type of governor he is.

Coming from a man who is a member of the political party that has made it standard operating procedure for 40 years to call their opponents Nazis, the irony is delicious. Especially because in this case the Democrats are acting like Nazis.

Liberals are pure bullies. They start whining for Mommy as soon as somebody actually fights back. It’s a darn shame that most Republicans have no stones and don’t know how to fight back.

Nazis did not like free speech. Their modern socialist descendants do not either.

Govern Wolf moved his company out of PA saying the taxes were too high.

“More and more I go back to ...the Nazi Party, I go to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the USSR.


I find it interesting that the ‘horror’ only applies to the Nazi comparison, not the USSR...

Frankel said Dush’s comments were out of line.

Why, because they might be true?

No problem, one suspects, with the “Bushitler” meme.

The he/she/it (sounds best slurred) Secretary of Health is mentally ill.

IrishBrigade posted this tribute a couple of weeks ago:

While a young kid Richie could then see
his dickie would cause him great frenzy
so he took a huge axe
gave his penis some whacks
and became a grim bigwig in Pennsy..
