Examples of Republican Nazi comparisons regarding Democrats

Marjorie Taylor Greene

In February 2022, the Georgia representative referred to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's security police as "gazpacho police," intending to say Gestapo, the Nazi secret police.


Greene also previously tried to connect the Democratic party to Nazism by citing the historical name of the Nazi party, the "National Socialist party".


Scott Perry

In June 2021, the Pennsylvania representative gave a speech where he compared Democrats to Nazis and referred to them as "dangerous traitors" who want to "destroy the country".


Perry argued that differentiating between Democrats was like differentiating between Germans during the Nazi reign.


Donald Trump

During a 2024 campaign rally, Trump referred to the Biden Administration as a "Gestapo administration," referencing the Nazi secret police.


Lauren Boebert

The Colorado representative referred to government advocates of vaccinations as "needle Nazis" and "medical brownshirts" during a 2021 CPAC appearance.


Doug Mastriano

The Pennsylvania nominee for governor compared Democrats' gun control proposals to the Nazis in 2018 and again in 2021.


Josh Mandel and Warren Davidson

In separate instances in 2021 and 2022, the former Ohio Senate candidate and the Ohio representative both compared government health policy to the Nazis.


Donald Trump Jr.

In 2018, Donald Trump Jr. tweeted that the Democratic Party's platform was similar to that of the Nazis.
