In what would be described by the Left as a “dog whistle” to would-be assassins, Democrat Rep. Stacey Plaskett (D-VI) has compared President Donald Trump to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.
Plaskett of the Virgin Islands compared former President Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler during a Wednesday hearing less than two weeks after an assassination attempt on the Republican presidential nominee was thwarted.
A Secret Service agent stopped the apparent assassination attempt on Trump by firing shots at heavily armed gunman Ryan Wesley Routh.
Routh was lurking in bushes on the course at Trump International Golf Club on September 15.
He was lying in wait for 12 hours and was positioned ahead of where Trump was playing, just hundreds of yards away.
Plaskett made the remarks at a hearing of the House Judiciary Committee’s Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of Government.
She attacked Trump and X boss Elon Musk during the hearing.
Plaskett smeared Trump and Musk as “far-right conspiracy theorists.”
“This committee has been used to weaken that system, following the desires of far-right conspiracy theorists, and in particular, Elon Musk, to allow them free reign on these platforms.
“American civilians have been harassed, threatened, doxed,” Plaskett, a non-voting delegate, ranted during the hearing.
“And Mr. Musk, since you think tweeting or X-ing or whatever it is you call what you do on your platform about me is going to scare me to be quiet, you obviously don’t know what I’m made of.
“Generations of individuals who have fought for me to have the ability to say what I want to say, to speak the truth.”
“You forget that this is not pre-1990s apartheid South Africa, the country of your birth.
“This is America,” Plaskett continued.
“And there are more of us Americans that love our diversity, our rule of law, than there are of you, who would like us all to be sycophants to your ego.
“The outcome of hearings of this committee have supported my claim that from the very beginning of the creation of this select subcommittee, that this has been the gaslighting to the nth degree, a tremendous projection of the highest order, that the evidence is the words of their leader, their would-be Führer Donald Trump, and Project 2025, a 900-page manifesto of a transformed America.”
WATCH:
In June 2023, Plaskett appeared to call for Trump to be shot before immediately correcting herself to say “stopped.”
During an appearance on MSNBC, Plaskett said:
“You know, having Trump, not only have had the codes, but now having the classified information for Americans, and being able to put that out and share it in his resort, with anyone and everyone who comes through, should be terrifying to all Americans.”
“And he needs to be shot–stopped.”
