Don Lemon Compares MAGA To The Nazi Party, But ‘Without The Holocaust And All That Stuff’

Ousted CNN anchor Don Lemon claimed during a recent interview that the MAGA movement was “America’s version” of the Nazi Party, just “without the Holocaust and all that stuff.”

Lemon, joining hosts Karman Wong and Travis Dhanraj, made the remarks during an appearance on the “Can’t Be Censored” podcast. Although he acknowledged President Donald Trump was not actually working to orchestrate a genocide like Nazi Germany, Lemon argued Trump’s “Make America Great Again” movement was the “closest” thing anyone had seen to it.

“MAGA is the closest thing to the modern version of the Nazi Party. This is America’s version. It’s the closest thing, without the Holocaust and all that stuff,” Lemon said.

“Most intelligent people or logical people, when they get new information and that information is negative or not factual, then they change their minds and go, ‘Oh, well I wish I’d known better, and now that I have this information, then I can readjust,’” Lemon claimed, arguing that Trump supporters responded differently to new information because they were driven by other motivations.

He went on to argue that Trump voters didn’t care about affordability because what they were actually voting for was “white supremacy.”

“They’re afraid of, they’ve been co-opted by many people in the Republican Party and Donald Trump to think that their failures are due to something else: the other, the black person, the woman, the Latino, the immigrant, the migrant. That person is taking your job. That person is the reason that you don’t have the financial or career success that you think you should have,” Lemon said, suggesting that the Trump administration was adopting the strategy used by Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler when he attempted to convince the German people that the Jews were the source of their problems.

Dhanraj asked whether Lemon believed that Trump’s administration had gone “off the rails,” and Lemon quickly interrupted.

“It’s not off the rails. We’ve careened into fascism. The president is a fascist,” Lemon insisted.
