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:
Even Adolph Hitler thought it more important than Obama to get to Paris. (For all the wrong reasons.) Obama couldn’t do it for right reasons

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.
