'They are already calling him Little Hitler—Gov. Little Hitler,' Republican Idaho state Representative Heather Scott said, referring to Governor Brad Little.
"When you have a government telling you that your business is essential or non-essential, yours is non-essential and someone else's is essential, we have a problem there," Scott said."I mean, that's no different than Nazi Germany where you had government telling people either you were an essential worker or a non-essential worker, and non-essential workers got put on a train.
Later in the hour-long Zoom interview, Scott urged Little to stop enforcing his shutdown orders and claimed that people have compared the governor to Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler over them. "You can't take away people's lives and property without compensation, and that's exactly what he would be doing. I mean, they are already calling him Little Hitler—Gov. Little Hitler," the lawmaker said."I think people will start educating others, and people will be more and more vocal until they will say, 'Enough of this,' and put the pressure, hopefully political pressure, on him. That's what I would hope for.
Following the protests, several state governors criticized Trump for his allegedly"dangerous" tweets that encouraged the demonstrations.that the lockdown measures are"designed to protect people's health, literally their lives," and Trump has encouraged"insubordination" and"illegal activity."
