Obama Compares Trump To Hitler: "60 Million People Died So You've Got To Pay Attention, And Vote"
Obama's controversial comments came at a speech before the Economic Club of Chicago earlier this week:
"The danger is grow(ing) complacent. That's what happened in Germany in the 1930s, which despite the democracy of the Weimar Republic and centuries of high-level cultural and scientific achievements, Adolph Hitler rose to dominate. Sixty million people died...So, you've got to pay attention. And vote."
Not surprisingly, while the media obsessed over Sean Spicer's Hitler reference for days/weeks, we would challenge readers to find a single American mainstream media outlet that bothered to note Obama's similarly outrageous statements in a meaningful way. The closest we could find was a note from The Hill, entitled "Obama warns of complacency, notes rise of Hitler," which didn't even bother to highlight the clear Trump reference in Obama's comments...in fact, they went out of their way to downplay it...
