During an appearance on Fox News on Friday, former congresswoman and failed presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard made the wild claim that there’s a “historical connection” between Nazism and the diversity-minded personnel choices made by the Biden administration and compared the US president to Adolf Hitler.
Gabbard, who seemingly loves bashing Democrats as a Fox News contributor since leaving the party last October, said “identity politics” was one factor in her decision to switch her party affiliation.
“You see how their agenda of identity politics is directly undermining the traditional democratic values that were expressed so beautifully and clearly by Dr. Martin Luther King: that we should judge each other not based on the color of our skin, but based on our character,” Gabbard told host Jesse Watters.
“And yet…they are proud to be judging people, hiring people, selecting people based on race,” she added.

“Let’s be clear how serious of a problem this is. It’s based on genetics, race, based on your blood, your genes; and where do we see that connection? Well, these are the very same geneticist core principles embodied by Nazism and Adolf Hitler,” she continued.
Her comments prompted Watters to ask: “You are saying the focus on genetics is in a way similar to what was going on in Germany?”
Gabbard made clear that this was no misstatement.
“You look at the core values and core principles of Adolf Hitler and Nazism. What is it based on? It’s based on genetics,” she said.
“This is that philosophy of geneticism and discriminating against people based on their genes. And that’s the issue here really when you cut to the core of it. When they are standing there saying, ‘Hey, we are proud to be selecting people solely based on race,’ that is alarming to me on so many levels,” Gabbard concluded.
