Democrat Rep. James Clyburn: If You Don’t Vote Against ‘Election Deniers’ You’re A Nazi

Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) said during an interview on Sunday that those who do not vote against so-called “election deniers” are Nazis.

Clyburn made the remarks during an interview on “Fox News Sunday” with host Shannon Bream when asked about remarks that he made last week.

“This is what happens in a country that follows what happened in Germany in the early ’30s,” Clyburn said last week. “This country is on track to repeat what happened in Germany when it was the greatest democracy going, elected a chancellor who then co-opted their media, and that’s what’s going on in this country. That is what will lead to the destruction of this democracy.”

After Bream played the clip, she said to Clyburn, “Congressman, you’ve repeatedly made comments about Hitler, about Nazism, about Germany in the 1930s in recent years. You’ve gotten a lot of pushback from that from Jewish organizations and others who say it belittles the suffering of the Holocaust, of the millions who were lost.”

After a brief back-and-forth, Bream asked, “Are voters, though, out there listening to this message to infer from what you’re saying that if they don’t vote for Democrats in this election, that they are somehow supporting something akin to the rise of Hitler?”

“No, if they don’t vote against election deniers, if they don’t vote against liars, people who will lie, know full well they’re lying, we all know they are lying,” Clyburn responded. “This was cleanest election in the history of the country, Donald Trump’s own appointee said it was the cleanest in the history of the country. So, if they are lying, they’re denying, they’re trying to delete, they’re trying to nullify our votes, vote against that foolishness.”

SHANNON BREAM, FOX NEWS ANCHOR: Joining me now, South Carolina Congressman James Clyburn, the third ranking Democrat in the House.

Congressman, welcome back to “FOX News Sunday”.

REP. JAMES CLYBURN (D-SC): Thank you very much for having me back.

BREAM: I want to start here with some comments you made just a couple of days ago.

CLYBURN: This is what happens in a country that follows what happened in Germany in the early ’30s. This country is on track to repeat what happened in Germany when it was the greatest democracy going, elected a chancellor who then co-opted their media, and that’s what’s going on in this country. That is what will lead to the destruction of this democracy.

BREAM: Congressman, you’ve repeatedly made comments about Hitler, about Nazism, about Germany in the 1930s in recent years. You’ve gotten a lot of pushback from that from Jewish organizations and others who say it belittles the suffering of the Holocaust, of the millions who were lost.

Your response?

CLYBURN: I’ve talked to many Jews. We have many Jews in my congressional district, and they are very — supporters of mine. They note that this is a stuff that causes those kinds of deterioration in democracy. This is not anything about whether — how difficult it was, I talk about slavery and how difficult it was.

But that — to discuss the facts of what’s going on here, election deniers setting up positions (ph) by which little (ph) committees by governors can overturn the results of election, to call the press the enemy of the people, to co-op evangelicals — and I grew up in a Christian faith, in a parsonage, born and raised in a parsonage.

I know a whole lot about religion, and I know there’s always an attempt to co-op religions and that is going on here.

BREAM: OK, Congressman —

CLYBURN: And people want to deny it, that’s fine.

BREAM: OK, but —

CLYBURN: But the facts are very clear. I studied history all of my life.

BREAM: OK.

CLYBURN: I taught history and I’m telling you what I see here are parallels to what the history was —

BREAM: OK.

CLYBURN: — in this world back in the 1930s —

BREAM: So, Congressman, then —

CLYBURN: — in Germany, in Italy.

BREAM: Okay. Are voters, though, out there listening to this message to infer from what you’re saying that if they don’t vote for Democrats in this election, that they are somehow supporting something akin to the rise of Hitler?

CLYBURN: No, if they don’t vote against election deniers, if they don’t vote against liars, people who will lie, know full well they’re lying, we all know they are lying.

This was cleanest election in the history of the country, Donald Trump’s own appointee said it was the cleanest in the history of the country.

So, if they are lying, they’re denying, they’re trying to delete, they’re trying to nullify our votes, vote against that foolishness.

BREAM: Okay. So, Congressman, to look back on some conversations about election deniers, we’ve talked about on the show that Democrats have spent more than $40 million making sure that some of those people got through primary — GOP primaries so that
