TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (TND) — A Democrat who is running to be the next governor of Florida is facing criticism after she openly compared the state's current Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., to Adolf Hitler.
Appearing on NPR's Friday Roundup Podcast, Nikki Fried was asked by the show's co-host Melissa Ross to explain a tweet Fried had made in which she called DeSantis a "dictator".
Ross questions Fried, hoping to clarify: “Are you comparing DeSantis to Hitler?” Ross asks.
“In a lot of ways, yes,” Fried says in response. “I have studied Hitler and how he got to power, you know, wanting his own militia.”
DeSantis has become a popular target for criticism from the left, after becoming one of the first Republican governors to reopen his state during the coronavirus pandemic. Fried, who is currently Florida's agricultural commissioner, is one of the state's most vocal opponents to DeSantis and his policies.
Fried responds to Ross's question by bringing up Florida's Cuban population, who escaped dictatorship to find opportunities in America, saying they are now once again being oppressed by a dictator-esque power in the form of DeSantis' governance.
"[DeSantis] is doing everything possible to take away power from local governments,” Fried says. “Taking away people’s abilities to protest. Making it harder to vote. Talking about banning books... That’s what dictators do. Fried then invokes the Hitler comparison, saying she sees similarities between DeSantis and the infamous Nazi leader."

If she’s so worried about politicians who resemble Hitler, why does she belong to a party which supports the PLO and BDS?
It’s what Democrats do. It’s so expected that it doesn’t even shock anymore. They started with George W Bush. He was called Hitler and they even did an ad where they blamed him for a black man’s death where he was dragged in chains behind a truck with white people at the wheel.
Did DeSantis kill 6 million Jews? Did I miss that?
Wait until she learns what most Americans are comparing her to.
That’s what they say. You know someone’s lost the argument when they invoke Hitler.
Is there really any other kind?
Jeebus. What happened to her face?
Poor lady.
Here’s the full hot/crazy matrix, https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Nikki+Fried&iax=images&ia=images
Pelosi + Jack Nicholson + The Joker
His brain is fried.
Did you notice the bat shit crazy eyes on that one?
This is the same dictator who insisted on putting her picture on every Dept of Ag stamp on every gas pump in Florida. The state Supreme court found she overstepped her authority, just like Hitler.
This is a perfect example of a wannabe dictator labeling a patriotic freedom fighter precisely what the Florida Supreme court found her guilty of.
But nah, she had to play the hitler card.
“ Jeebus. What happened to her face?”
She fell off the ugly tree, hit every branch on the way down. When she struck the ground her face caught fire and they put it out with an ice pick
Crazy eyes?
She has crazy everything.
The only reply from him should be “B!tch, if I was Hitler, you’d already be in a concentration camp!”
