"For more than two years, Socialist Democrats and their fake news media allies -- CNN, MSNBC, the New York Times, Washington Post, and countless others -- have perpetrated the biggest political lie, con, scam and fraud in American history," Brooks, R-Huntsville, said in the speech. "Attorney General (William) Barr’s executive summary of Mueller’s Report has publicly confirmed what many of us have known for a long time. The accusations of collusion between President Trump and Russia in the 2016 elections are nothing but a Big Lie!" Hitler wrote about the "Big Lie" in his book "Mein Kampf." "More likely, however, (Trump opponents) will double down and propagate even more Big Lies because doubling down is essential to 'Big Lie' theory," Brooks said. "In that vein, I quote from another Socialist who mastered 'Big Lie' propaganda to maximum, and deadly, effect." Brooks then quoted an excerpt from Hitler's book.

Hey Brooks, have you looked up the definition of "projection"?

or "perpetrated" tbh. I feel like he meant to say "perpetuated"

If we're like Hitler, you must be like Osama. It's not far from the truth, just difference clothes and language.

God I am so fucking sick of my own elected representatives dehumanizing me because of my political party.

Republicans do not believe in party before country. They believe the party is the country. If one is not on their side they are not a legitimate citizen of the United States to them.

...Except Hitler wasn't saying "hey let's go all in on a Big Lie (tm)". He was accusing the Jews of perpetrating a "Big Lie" in order to villainize them. WHICH IS WHAT THIS GUY IS DOING TO THE LEFT, IN THE EXACT SAME LANGUAGE. who the fuck is this guy and why is he near any position of power

This man was the most moderate choice in the 2017 Alabama Senate primary. Let that permeate your being.

Are you suggesting that Mo Brooks didn't even take the time to read Mein Kampf before making this allusion? Geez, what a loser.

"What, you think I read books? Think I'm some kinda book reader?!" - Mo Brooks

Mo "No Mo' Books" Brooks

I agree. Sad. I've also heard that "socialists in the Democratic Party" will "drop the democratic part, as soon as they get in power," which. . .would just make it "The Party." Which like, who doesn't like a party? Guess there must be plenty of fine folk on both sides eh

Lord Pancake himself, Dave "The Last Fascist-Enabler" Rubin. He of many uncritical interviews. Honestly I think half of this alt-right shit is just a distraction. They're just so easy to dunk on, it sucks you in. See: my life. I do try to equally split my free time between volunteer work and twitter beef, though.
