Fox News contributor and former Democrat Tulsi Gabbard, compared President Joe Biden’s commitment to diversity in his administration to Adolf Hitler.
Gabbard, a former Democratic presidential candidate announced last October that she was leaving the party. She told Fox News‘ Jesse Watters that Democrats identity politics played a role in that decision.
“This is one of the reasons I left the Democratic Party. You see how their agenda of identity politics directly undermines the traditional democratic values that were expressed beautifully and clearly by Dr. Martin Luther King, that we should judge each other not based on the color of our skin but based on our character,” Gabbard said.
“Yet, they are proud to be judging people, hiring people, selecting people based on race,” she continued. “Let’s be clear how serious of a problem this is. It’s based on genetics, race, based on your blood, your genes; and where do we see that connection? Well, these are the very same geneticist core principles embodied by Nazism and Adolf Hitler.”
Gabbard’s comments were so outrageous that Watters, who is known to make controversial remarks, tried to distance himself, telling her that he is “not sure about the German thing.”
“You look at the core values and core principles of Adolf Hitler and Nazism. What is it based on? It’s based on genetics,” Gabbard said. “This is that philosophy of geneticism and discriminating against people based on their genes. And that’s the issue here really when you cut to the core of it. When they are standing there saying, ‘Hey, we are proud to be selecting people solely based on race,’ that is alarming to me on so many levels.”
This is the second time Gabbard has publicly compared Biden to Hitler.
While campaigning last October for Don Bolduc, the failed GOP Senate candidate in New Hampshire, Gabbard slammed President Biden for his speech calling out “extreme MAGA Republicans” and their attacks on democracy.
“This is something that is, you know, throughout history, we look at authoritarian leaders and dictators in other countries, I’m pretty sure they all believe they’re doing what’s best,” Gabbard said.
“Even Hitler thought he was doing what was best for Germany, right? For the German race,” she continued. “In his own mind, he found a way to justify the means to meet his end. So when we have people with that mindset, well, you know we’ve got to do whatever it takes because, as President Biden said in that speech in Philadelphia, that those who supported Trump, those who didn’t vote for him are extremists and a threat to our democracy.”
