Hillary Clinton surrogate deletes tweet comparing Sanders supporters to Nazis

I don't believe in corporal punishment but then I read Tom Watson's Bernie armband tweet…

It’s getting rough out there in liberal-land. As we reported earlier, Hillary Clinton fans were up in arms over a surrogate for Bernie Sanders kinda, sorta referring to Hillary as a “Democratic whore.”

That’s pretty bad, but not Hitler bad.

Which brings us to Tom Watson, a Hillary Clinton supporting journalist, Columbia lecturer and president of the non-profit consulting firm CauseWired who did go there last night:

A campaign first!

i think tonight was the first time a Democratic surrogate called their candidate's opponent a Nazi — and the honor goes to @tomwatson

The Daily Beast’s Gideon Resnick was not amused:

What a fucking moron

— Gideon Resnick (@GideonResnick) April 14, 2016

Nazi references are so lazy too. Compare supporters to lizard people or infectious amoeba, you uncreative fucks

And it’s not just lazy, it’s disgusting considering Sanders’ family had people killed by the Nazis:

Nothing in American politics is anywhere close to Nazis, especially not the guy who had family members die in the Holocaust

At the very least, this animosity should make the next debate interesting to watch as these two claw each other’s eyes out:

Watson did apologize for the now deleted tweet, saying he was “unintentionally” “historically insensitive”

Mea culpa: reference earlier tonight to style of Sanders rally was historically insensitive – unintentionally, but deserves an apology.
