Parkland parent and gun safety activist Fred Guttenberg doubled down on his call for DeSantis spox Christina Pushaw to be fired over a tweet mocking Dem Nikki Fried’s comparison of her boss to Adolf Hitler:
(1,4) Today I spent the better part of my day at a funeral for a great man, a Jewish man. I came home to bombardment from @christinapushaw and Desantis trolls over her use of the word Nazi as a joke. They wrote a load of tweets and emails as you can see below. Rather than pic.twitter.com/U63l8CdElH

And Guttenberg also wants you to know that he was NOT joking when he compared Sen. Josh Hawley to the Nazis and, because of this, he feels he is somehow above criticism for going full Hitler:

Oh, and we’re waiting for him to comment on Nikki Fried’s playing of the Adolf card which is what set this whole thing off in the first place:
