'A friend' of Confederate cooler owner Rick Wilson likens Florida to Nazi Germany

Proud Lincoln Project co-founder Rick Wilson (yes, he’s still fiercely proud of co-founding The Lincoln Project) has apparently been hearing from a friend of his that Florida is going to hell in a hand basket. Or, at the very least, Nazi Germany in a hand basket:

A friend sends: "Florida is like Germany in 1933, only humid."

First of all:

my god

you have friends?

We’re just as shocked as you are, Kate. Maybe by “friend,” Rick means “dude who only hangs out with me because I pick up the tab with my ill-gotten grifter money when we go out for expensive meals.” We could totally see Rick buying friends.

In any event, Rick Wilson needs to find better friends who aren’t as stupid as he is.

Your friend is stupid. https://t.co/Fp82pp0Mxd

And quite possibly stoned out of his mind.

Does Rick’s “friend” own a Confederate cooler, too?

Rick Wilson lives in Florida, remember. Does that make him a Nazi sympathizer? Or at least a Nazi enabler?

This is insanely offensive…to America, to the memory of the Nazis' victims, and to living Jews with the slightest knowledge of the Holocaust. https://t.co/59kLJJ1nsC

In 1933:

Kosher meat was outlawed in Germany.

Books were burned in the center of German cities.

Prominent Jews lost citizenship.

Dachau was opened.

Jews were banned from being lawyers.

Comparing Florida to Germany in 1933 is not only ignorant, it's Holocaust minimization. https://t.co/SyJxSmGRi7

Minimizing the Holocaust to own the right… disgusting not surprising. https://t.co/m3VndcCMHR

As one of the thousands of Orthodox Jews fleeing major blue areas for Florida, this is some of the most despicable idiocy I have seen on this godforsaken website https://t.co/LVafJgoZcr

And that’s really saying something.

Rick Wilson goes after ‘shameful, petulant, d*ckless wonders’ Rand Paul and Lindsey Graham — and throws in some homophobia while he’s at it
