Florida Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried, a Democrat candidate for governor in the Sunshine State, compared her potential general election opponent Gov. Ron DeSantis to Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler during an interview that aired on Florida Public Radio’s “The Florida Roundup” on Friday.
Host Melissa Ross asked Fried if she regretted her past comparisons, to which Fried said she did not and doubled down.
“Not at all,” she replied. “Growing up in Miami, and having neighbors that were Cubans, hearing stories of so many of our Floridians who have left dictatorships, and socialism, and communist countries, and coming here to the state of Florida for capitalism, for open opportunities to succeed. He is doing everything possible to take away power from local governments, taking away people’s ability to protest, making it harder to vote, talking about, you know, banning books. That’s what dictators do. Instead of listening and trying to govern with the people, he is trying to govern over the people.”
“You know, I’m sorry — I’m a student of history too,” Fried continued. “I saw the rise of Hitler. I’ve learned of those stories.”
Fried was interrupted by the host and asked if she was comparing DeSantis to Hitler.
“In a lot of ways, yes,” she replied. “I have studied Hitler and how he got to power, you know, wanting his own militia and having his own militia.”

Liberals really and truly are insane.
Hitler was big on personal liberties and self governance.
This may not end well.
When everybody is Hitler, nobody is Hitler.
I hope she gets the democrat nomination for Governor of Florida.
Desantis will steam roll her like Alabama football playing a directional school.
It’ll be a pleasure to watch.
Or racis’.
hey toots....it was bammy who called for a parallel police force.
"We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set.
We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."
Utterly unhinged lying. The fact-checkers at Florida-based PolitiFact will give her a pass.
He barely beat Gillum. I hope their elections are better than elsewhere.
When a commie mentions their hero Hitler..no one will say a peep
When people bring up Nazi Germany at COVID protests nowadays they are accused of minimizing the Holocaust.
Is this what Nikki Fried is doing?
Nikki Fried is an idiot.
This is a preview of the future, if De Santis announces for the presidency. The entire leftist establishment, the media, colleges, social media, the medical establishment, top “scientists” will all get together and paint a picture of De Santis as a White supremacist, homophobe, islamophobe, nazi, etc. They have a lot of practice. They did it to Trump.
If De Santis runs, they will set traps for him - he’s going to be much better at recognizing them and defusing them than Trump. But they will anyway. They’ll invent lies like we never imagined. They’ll tell their stable of bimbos to read their pre-prepared story to the media about De Santis sexually harassing them.
I knew they’d be better off with the whore-mongering gay crackhead as Governor. I guess Andy Gillum gets the last laugh.
Nikki Fried is one reason why the US is going to pot.

“Fried’s fiancé, Jake Bergmann, is a prominent marijuana entrepreneur in Florida.”
She just overkilled a rhetorical overkill of a rhetorical overkill.
It doesn’t matter who runs on the Republican ticket. The Democrats will call him or her racist, bigot, sexist, homophobe, etc. The person who can best turn the left’s childish insults on them is the one you want to run.
