Casten Describes Political Opponents as Nazi Sympathizers
“That Sean Casten would equate those who believe in limited government to Nazis – who tortured and murdered 6 million Jews – tells you exactly who the extremist is and who’s recklessly advancing intolerant views.”
April 22, 2020 – In anIndivisible Dupage webinar this week, Rep. Sean Casten (IL-06) made the insinuation that Republicans are Nazi Sympathizers. While encouraging Indivisible followers to get out the vote, Casten stated that if they were successful “come 2021, the majority of my colleagues believe that Democracy is a good thing; that the Enlightenment was a good thing, that the good guys won World War II.” (Watch here)
“Insinuating that those who disagree with him are Nazi sympathizers should dispel any idea that Sean Casten’s view are representative of the reasonable and independent-minded people in the Sixth District,” said Jeanne Ives, Candidate for Congress (IL-06).
“That Sean Casten would equate those who believe in limited government to Nazis – who tortured and murdered 6 million Jews – tells you exactly who the extremist is and who’s recklessly advancing intolerant views. No one should take him seriously anymore.
“If any Republican made such an outrageous statement, they would be front page news. We await the story from any Chicago press outlet.”
