Rep. David Schweikert (R-AZ) said Friday, during a House debate on Obama’s free trade bill, that the made-up stories and facts he was hearing about big labor would make Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels “very proud.”
Schweikert said he was “compelled” to run down to the mic because he was “enraged with the duplicity” he’d heard during the debate over Obama’s Pacific Rim initiative to grant financial aid to displaced workers.
“Some of the crazy things I’m seeing put out in the media by big labor, the willingness to make up stories, to make up facts — Goebbels would be very proud of them,” Schweikert said. “Be careful that we’re not getting conned by made-up stories.”
Schweikert is not the first Representative to draw comparisons to Goebbels.
In 2011, Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) compared GOPers, who he accused of spreading lies about Obamacare, to the infamous Nazi.
