Obama Compared To Hitler–By His Tea Party Cousin
Milton Wolf is trying to wrestle the Republican nomination for Senate away from Pat Roberts, who Wolf deems not conservative enough.
In interviews with Fox News and other conservative outlets, Wolf insists he has the utmost respect for the president, with whom he shares a male ancestor, Thomas Creekmore McCurry—Obama’s great-great-grandfather and Wolf’s great-grandfather. Although Wolf has only met the president once, he told Fox News three years ago his family is proud of what “Barack” has accomplished and wants to see him succeed. But more recent comments reveal a rhetorical extremism and rigid ideological opposition that would be at home within the most excessive circles of the far right.
On his public Twitter account, @miltonwolfmd, Wolf has directly compared Obama and his party to Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. “Other than killing Jews, what domestic policy of the Nazis do today’s American liberals oppose?” he asked in an exchange last spring. He went so far as to analogize Obama’s economic policy with the Holocaust a few months earlier: “Scapegoats of history: Hitler – Jews & gypsies. Mussolini – Jews & Bolsheviks. #Obama – Successful Americans. #tcot #p2 #gop.”
