Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL), known for saying outrageous things to rile Republicans, told a radio show last week that he received a threatening phone call, according to Politico.
Grayson said a woman called his home and threatened his life. “If you vote for health care, I’ll kill you,” he said she said.
He then compared Republicans to Nazis:
MARK THOMPSON: Yeah, this is crazy. And they’re suggesting … the Republicans are defending themselves by saying this is happening on both sides. This is not happening on both sides.
REP. GRAYSON: Well, I think that’s what they said about the burning of the Reichstag, if I recall correctly.
The Nazi Party used the burning of the Reichstag building in 1933 to argue that communists were trying to bring down the German government.
