Listen: FL Democrat Gubernatorial Hopeful Nikki Fried Likens Ron DeSantis to Hitler
breitbart.com ^ | 1/14/2022 | Jeff Poor

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.”

First thing she did when she took office-put her face on all the agricultural stickers on the gas pumps. That didn’t last long.

“What’s a ‘directional school’, precious?

Directional School definition: (I’m making this up BTW.)

Teams that are lower conference teams that have a north, south, east, & west in their name, they take a pay out, then get beat up by the superior SEC team.

Alabama football plays Western Kentucky or Western Carolina and beats them 35-0 & 49-0, like they did in their 2012 football season. That would be an example of directional school.

DeSantis in a cake walk is my prediction for the 2022 Florida Governor Race.

He is doing everything possible to take away power from local governments, ...

Umm, like federalizing the election process? ... Federalizing local police? ... Federalizing property transactions? ... Federalizing doctor-patient relationships? ...

... taking away people’s ability to protest, ...

Ohh, like solitary for J6 capitol visitors? ... Like siccing Antifa on "raaa-cists"? ... Like protecting crypto-feds when they're leading riots? ... like focusing the IRS on Tea Party groups? ...

... making it harder to vote, ...

Uhh, like flooding the counting rooms with counterfeits so legitimate votes hardly matter? ... Like hiding, losing, and/or destroying durable public records of ballots so people have no idea what really happened? ... Like disregarding jurisdictional rules pre-election to enable corrupting actual votes with shady ones? ...

talking about, you know, banning book

Oh, I see, like censorship on Twitter? ... Like shadow banning on Facebook? ... Like colluding to broadcast identical deceptions on local news networks nationwide? ... Like creating snowflakes in public education throughout the nation who refuse to allow "misinformation" that contradicts the approved narrative?

Yeah, I guess that's kind of like Hitler's National Socialism ... = "our Democracy"™

He barely beat Gillum. I hope their elections are better than elsewhere.

Then he fired elections crooks in Broward and Palm Beach and 2020 was over by 8pm. Proving “who counts the votes” is everything.

Maybe DeSantis is better off with a second term in Florida while the LAAP-dog media landscape goes through an alt revolution.

I'm hoping that the targeting of parents at school boards, the accelerated deplatforming of conservatives, the censoring of leading scientists in their fields who go against the leftist narrative, the Biden/Harris general malaise, and the mid-term and 2024 elections, will transform the media landscape by the time that DeSantis is ready to step up to the presidential layer.

Well, seeing as how this broad is Jewish, if Gov. DeSantis really were a Hitler type, she would have been shoved into an oven by now and flames would be blowing out both her anus and her va jay jay.

Nothing of the sort happened, so this crazy loon should drink a big cup of STFU.

She gave Gov. DeSantis some great material for campaign commercials, and for whoever challenges her for Agriculture Commissioner in the future.

Exactly. We came very close to having a street punk bisexual junkie as FL governor.

IIRC from a column a couple months ago, DeSantis is polling so well, and Nikki Fried so horribly, that the Democrat Governors Association is withholding funds from the FL 2024 gubernatorial race.

If DeSantis were really the new Hitler, people from wouldn’t be flooding Florida from states run by Democrats. States that mandate vaccines, masks, let criminals run wild, teach racism in the schools, states that purposely infected nursing home patients, have racist medical policies, high taxes, etc.
