And there it is: The *Hitler* comparison from wannabe DeSantis challenger Nikki Fried:
Agriculture Commissioner and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Nikki Fried said that Governor DeSantis compares to Adolf Hitler "in a lot of ways" during an interview with The Florida Roundup. "I have studied Hitler and how he got to power." 🤡

Update: Here’s the audio:
Hoo Boy… It's one thing to *read* that Nikki Fried compared Ron DeSantis to Hitler; completely another to blow by several offramps en route to that comparison. Will media cover? pic.twitter.com/bMYDowcZGD

And, just out of curiosity, we’d love to hear this Hitler scholar’s explanation:
Well I’ve studied Hitler too so I’d just love to hear her explanation. I’ll wait

Um, that’s it?
she said Hitler criticized the media and so does DeSantis. Therefore, DeSantis is Hitler? @NikkiFried Logic!

She’s just so desperate for attention:
Periodic reminder that the first one to make Hitler comparison loses https://t.co/sYSgsgGNug

And we’ll point out that when a Republican makes an ill-conceived comparison of say vaccine mandates to the Holocaust, the media turns that into a multi-day story. Shouldn’t this generate equal coverage?
If we had an honest media instead of DNC stenographers, reporters would be criticizing @NikkiFried 's dishonest and offensive claim that @GovRonDeSantis is the modern Hitler. Such a comparison trivializes Hitler's crimes against humanity. This is not funny, it's sick.
