MSNBC’s Wallave claims no Dem has called Trump Hitler, evidence says otherwise

MSNBC anchor Nicole Wallace said Monday that she does not believe any Democrat has compared US President Donald Trump to German dictator Adolf Hitler.

As Immigration and Customs Enforcement continues to detain illegal immigrants in major American cities, Pritzker has publicly likened their actions to those of Nazi enforcers during World War II. Pritzker, who is Jewish, stressed that he does not take such comparisons lightly.

In an interview on Wallace “The best people.” In the podcast, he mentioned his involvement in helping a Holocaust survivor create a Holocaust museum. He explained that although he did not believe such a horrific event could be repeated in America, those who endured it could recognize echoes of the tyranny that emerged under Trump’s leadership.

Wallace added that equating Trump with Hitler “is not a partisan analysis,” recalling how current Vice President J.D. Vance once wondered whether Trump could be one. “Hitler America.” She praised Pritzker for making a thoughtful argument about the troubling historical similarities between Trump’s America and Nazi Germany.

“I put a kind of intellectual structure behind the similarities that involve us all, and I talked about it – the first thing I said was ‘asking people for their papers’, asking American citizens to show up with their papers, asking peddlers to show passports, rounding up people, good people looking the other way, thinking ‘this isn’t about me’. You know, I’m a citizen. But who are they going after then?” I asked. “Talk a little bit about why this is uncomfortable for a lot of people.”

Pritzker pulled back somewhat, drawing a clear line between drawing historical parallels in politics and directly comparing Trump to Hitler. “I am not suggesting, I have not suggested, that Donald Trump is Hitler,” Pritzker said.

“I don’t think any Democrat has done that,” Wallace said. “And I actually think what they’re directing at critics is a smear. But J.D. Vance called Donald Trump ‘cultural heroin.’ He called him ‘America’s Hitler.’ I mean, the attacks on Donald Trump as a fascist came from three generals who worked for him.”

However, the record shows that many prominent Democrats, and Wallace herself, have drawn parallels between Trump and Hitler.

After Trump sparked cheers from the crowd when he embraced the word “nationalist” during a 2018 event, She replied “I watch enough of the History Channel to know they were cheering for Hitler, too.”

For years, prominent Democratic politicians have compared Trump to Hitler.

Former Minister of Foreign Affairs Hillary Clinton compared Trump to Hitler During an appearance on “The View” in November 2023 when she warned, “Hitler was duly elected. All of a sudden, it’s going to be someone who has those tendencies, dictatorial, authoritarian tendencies, like ‘Okay, we’re going to shut this down, and we’re going to throw these people in jail.’ And they wouldn’t normally send that. Trump is telling us what he’s up to.”

Rep. Yasmine Crockett, Democrat of Texas, has called Trump “Timo Hitler” as a way of saying he is a cheap, low-quality imitation and “Wannabe Hitler.” In the latter case, it redoubled its efforts to do so even as the national conversation erupted about whether such comparisons provoke violence, sparked by the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

Rep. James Clyburn, D-S.C Comparing Trump to Hitler for years, Including his first term, when he said: “I can only equate one period of time to what we are experiencing now, and that is what was happening in Germany around 1934, immediately after the 1932 elections when Adolf Hitler was elected Chancellor.”

While he has continued to push back and say that Italian dictator Benito Mussolini might be a better comparison, he has consistently compared Trump’s presidency to Hitler, such as when he spoke to Fox News host Neil Cavuto.

“Do you imagine another Hitler? Is that what you’re saying?” Cavuto asked.

“That’s exactly what I’m saying. You said ’30s in Germany!'” Claiborne replied.

“Yes, I did,” Cavuto said.

Former Democratic presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke compared Trump to Hitler In 2019, he essentially argued that Trump’s rhetoric about Mexicans resembled something out of Nazi Germany. In 2023, he said that for Trump, like Hitler, simply being elected does not make a person any less a dictator.

“I can only imagine the history books written 100 years from now looking at people in 2025,” O’Rourke said in California. Governor Gavin Newsom’s podcast. “This is how, you know, when you and I were in school, we looked at the people in Germany in 1933. This man was appointed chancellor in January of that year. And in 53 days, he destroyed German democracy.”

Liberal documentary filmmaker Michael Moore has drawn parallels with Hitler as well, such as in his documentary Fahrenheit 11/9, in which in one scene he plays audio of Hitler. Trump speaks during footage of Hitler’s rally.

“Hitler and Trump are not the same thing,” Moore later commented. “But you’re making a foolish mistake if you don’t at least take a look at history and the patterns of history and how the manipulation of fear and the manipulation of public office works,” Moore said. “I’m not a fall-from-the-sky person. I don’t believe in conspiracy theories. But I’m aware enough to see what’s happening. And anyone who’s still thinking it’s not that bad, that it won’t get that bad, it’s time to wake up.”
