Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) scolded Democrats on Wednesday for continuously and freely calling President Donald Trump and members of the Republican Party “Nazis.”
“I always tell people when they’re complaining about something Trump said and they’re like ‘look at the violence he’s inciting’ and I say ‘well, you call us all Nazis,'” Crenshaw told host Joe Rogan while appearing on “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast. When you call someone a Nazi, you are calling somebody something that we all agreed as Americans to bomb, and kill, and destroy.”
“So, you’re labeling me with a label that we all agree should be destroyed,” he continued. “Like, how is that not inciting violence by your standards?”
Crenshaw’s remarks arose during a conversation with Rogan regarding Google’s censorship of conservative voices. In June, the Texas congressman questioned Google executives during a House Homeland Security Committee hearing after an internal memo surfaced that claimed conservative commentators Ben Shapiro and Dennis Prager, as well as clinical psychologist Jordan Peterson are all Nazis. Two of the three individuals are Jewish.
“This continues to be said by basically everybody running for president, that Trump is a white supremacist,” Crenshaw said. “And white supremacist and Nazi are practically the same thing.”
“I think we have an understandably deep objection to anything white supremacist, as we should. It should be condemned totally,” he continued. “When you’re calling the president that – and they often call his supporters that, too – so you’re calling 60-something million people who voted for him the same thing. I just can’t imagine a worse way to engage in dialogue and a quicker way to escalate things to just the worst possible scenario.”
