In a pulpit critique of Donald Trump, Hank Johnson invokes Adolf Hitler
[AJC] U.S. Rep. Hank Johnson has never been a fan of President Donald Trump...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... , but the Lithonia Democrat significantly dialed up his criticism on Tuesday with a searing New Year’s Day speech that drew parallels between Trump’s rise and that of Adolf Hitler ...late Fuehrer of Germany, founder of the Third Reich, currently communing with his pals Himmler and Heydrich. He is reincarnated every few days as a politician somebody doesn't like... Johnson made his point from the pulpit at Friendship Baptist Church, during a celebration to mark the 156th anniversary of the implementation of the Emancipation Proclamation. He urged vigilance against tyranny. "Americans, particularly black Americans, can’t afford to make that same mistake about the harm that could be done by a man named Hitler or a man named Trump," Johnson said. Both men, Johnson said, were charismatic public speakers, received hard-to-track donations from wealthy industrialists and stirred up their supporters at raucous rallies. "Hitler was accepting of violence towards the achievement of political objectives," Johnson said. "Trump encouraged violence against protesters at his rallies, and his messaging about Charlottesville -- that there were bad people on both sides -- sent a powerful message of approval to the far right racists in America."
