Rep. Randy Weber (R-TX) on Monday night made a comparison between Adolf Hitler and Barack Obama, after the President took some heat for not attending a march against terrorism in Paris.

Weber invoked — and misspelled — Hitler’s name on Twitter to criticize Obama for being absent from the large group of world leaders that gathered Sunday for a unity rally:

Weber, who has previously described Obama as a “Socialistic dictator” and called him the “Kommandant-In-Chef [sic],” was referring to Hitler’s visit to Paris in 1940 during the German occupation.

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest acknowledged earlier Monday in a press briefing that the Obama administration should have sent someone “higher profile” to the event.

    Being Socialistic Dictator Kommandant-In-Chef is a thankless job.

    Why, why do these right wing doofuses keep bringing up Hitler? Its obvious that not one of them has
    any knowledge of the subject. All it does is to illustrate their total ignorance.
