Mike Lee Says Kamala ‘Trolling for Assassins’ With Hitler Rhetoric

Utah Senator Mike Lee criticized Vice President Kamala Harris and other top Democrats for comparing Donald Trump to Hitler, arguing that such rhetoric invites attacks on the former president.
“I find it troubling,” he told The Daily Wire on Thursday, “especially because, to me, it feels like trolling for assassins.”
“When you’re constantly calling him Hitler,” Lee said, “that’s really dangerous.”
“I’m not one who thinks that no one can ever make a Hitler comparison or at least draw upon it, but when you identify him as much as they have with Hitler, you characterize him that way, it tends to leave a lot of people feeling morally justified in doing or saying things they wouldn’t otherwise do or say.”
On Wednesday, Harris spoke from the White House where she argued that “Trump said he wanted generals like Adolf Hitler had,” adding, “he wants a military that is not loyal to the Constitution, but loyal to him… This is a window into who Donald Trump really is from the people who know him best.”
Harris’s remarks referred to a highly criticized Atlantic piece in which one anonymous source claimed that Trump mocked a dead soldier and praised Hitler’s generals. The piece has been widely denounced by the deceased soldier’s sister, as well as people in Trump’s circles, as false and “dishonest.”
