Listen: FL Democrat Gubernatorial Hopeful Nikki Fried Likens Ron DeSantis to Hitler

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.”

They are so frightened of what is coming they don’t know what to say or do.

This sow will be lucky to break 40% in November. Then the stain of having one Democrat/communist in Florida statewide office will be cleansed.

This proves how Democrats need only one statewide office to use as a base of operations to attack a red state, no matter how minor that office is.

You will never see a Republican try this in a blue state. That said, let's see how successful Youngkin is in building a new Republican base in Virginia to expand GOP influence and try to retake the state.

Will it work, or was Youngkin a fluke who won a freak race because Terry McAuliffe was so bad?

Will Winsome Sears be given a high profile? I haven't heard much from her since Election Day.

I'll give young Fried credit for reading about him. But zero credit for "seeing his rise." And a big ol' demerit for having the nerve to tell people that she did.

When everybody is Hitler, nobody is Hitler.

When everybody is Hitler, we'll have equity.

I’m surprised the retard Nancy princess doesn’t compare Governor DeSantis with President Trump. According to the far left Snowflakes like Hillary Fried, Hitler and President Trump are the same person.

“I have studied Hitler"

I'm sure you have, in great detail.

Just your average run-of-the-mill democrat, replete with the usual ludicrous, over the top hyperbole -- she's gubernatorial material for sure.

That she is Joe. But there are an abundance of fools who will vote for her. And the high schools, colleges, and universities are turning loose a class of fools each year. I hope to be gone time the fools comprise the majority, but they are rising like the tide. Good luck. God Bless you. Keep fighting the Good Fight.

When everybody is Hitler, Winston Churchill is the bad guy. And American patriots are domestic terrorists.

Oh, hey!!!

I hope she gets the democrat nomination for Governor of Florida. Desantis will steam roll her like Alabama football playing a directional school.

What's a 'directional school', precious?

For those that may not know. Fried is a Broward County lawyer. The worst of the worst.

The derp state has several nests. Broward County is one of them.
