House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) on Sunday said he sees parallels between the current threats to U.S. democracy and the rise of fascism in Germany and Italy in the 1930s.
Clyburn told “Fox News Sunday” host Shannon Bream that election denialism and calling the press the enemy “causes those kinds of deterioration in democracy.”
“I taught history and I’m telling you what I see here are parallels to what the history was in this world back in the 1930s in Germany, in Italy,” Clyburn said. “The facts are very clear.”
Last week, Clyburn, the third highest-ranking Democrat in the country, made similar comments to Fox News Digital when discussing the attack on Paul Pelosi, the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) in his own home.
“The country is on track to repeat what happened in Germany when it was the greatest democracy going, when it elected a chancellor that then co-opted the media,” Clyburn said in that interview. “This past president called the press the enemy of the people. That is a bunch of crap. And that is what’s going on in this country.”
Nearly 60 percent of registered voters see the mainstream media as a threat to democracy.
President Biden and Democrats have sought to make threats to democracy a central theme in the midterms, pointing to former President Trump and his allies spreading false claims about the 2020 election and refusing to commit to accept this year’s results.

I feel sorry for his students. He’s nuts
Seems to be a talking point they’ve coordinated.
Other idiots have been saying it.
Conservative philosophy: “I want government to be small. I want to leave people alone. I want you to go and live your life as you see fit, in freedom.”
Democrat: “See? Those guys are just like the Nazis!!!!”
The Democrat Party ARE The National Socialist, we’ve arrived.
No- he’s actually very correct:
Demokrats want forced vaccinations and medical mandates- like the nazis in the 1930s
Demokrats want to censor free speech- like the nazis in the 1930s
DemoKrats want to jail political enemies- like the nazis in the 1930’s
DemoKrats have politicized all Federal investigative agencies- like the nazi’s in the 1930s
DemoKrats are using state run media to spread their propaganda- like the nazi’s in the 1930s
Give clyburn credit for being correct- for once
Just for a start, the Nazis never won anything near a majority in the Reichstag. This renders the rest of your argument invalid, lying, historically-illiterate Communist filth.
Hey Democrats, if everything is so bad, then GTFO of my country. I’m beyond sick and tired of your constant pissing, moaning, and complaining.
I’m more than happy to give you swift kick in the ass as you leave!
Demonrats = Nazis. PERIOD!
I’m not sure what they are going for with this, but surely it is not their intent to present Weimar Germany as their model. Then again, inflation, tranny stuff, communists everywhere, it does seem right up their alley.
The Democrat party is where wokeism got it’s birth.
It came straight from the University campuses, that are
run by something like 90% Democrats (Communists) to 10%
Republicans, most of which are RINOs.
The PC culture is nothing compared to Wokeism.
The Wokesters will just shout over you. They’d sooner ice
pick your eyes out rather than debate. You can stand
up to PC, but when it gets to the level of what the Wolk
folks have in our nation, it’s impossible.
This is what NAZI Germany devolved to. It’s what the
U. S. is devolving to, and the Deplorables have nothing
to do with it.
This guy can’t even recognize what his own side has
turned into.
The Democrats are rather like the Soviets ... or the Nazis. Both were consummate evil and the only reason Commie scum are spoken of without utter derision at every point is because their useful idiots are also scum who still love socialism.
Clyburn would see ‘racism’ in the number, size or real meat content of Chicken McNuggets.
I agree with him. There is a parallel and this is why we MUST stop BIDEN & Son ASAP!
I submit that Clyburn is a wannabee Robert Mugabe of Rhodesia who said ““Our party must continue to strike fear in the heart of the white man, our real enemy.”
or maybe Idi Amin of Uganda.
Race Baiting Poverty Pimps and the Perpetually Professionally Aggrieved
““The country is on track to repeat what happened in Germany when it was the greatest democracy going, when it elected a chancellor that then co-opted the media,”
Germany didn’t elect a chancellor. The chancellor is appointed. Hitler was appointed Chancellor by the president of Germany, moron.
And he banned opposition press. Didn’t Biden collude with Facebook and Twitter to censor conservatives?
You and your ilk ARE the Nazis, Jimbo.
““I taught history”
““The country is on track to repeat what happened in Germany when it was the greatest democracy going, when it elected a chancellor”
Hitler wasn’t elected a chancellor. He was appointed Chancellor.
I weep for your students.
