Democrats will say anything and it’s pathetic.
Former Texas Congressman Beto O’Rourke is back in the spotlight — and back to launching outrageous attacks on President Donald Trump and his supporters. In a shocking and divisive rant, O’Rourke compared Republicans in 2025 to Germans living under Adolf Hitler in 1933.
O’Rourke made the inflammatory remarks while appearing with California Gov. Gavin Newsom on the Democrat governor’s podcast, This is Gavin Newsom. Instead of addressing serious legal questions surrounding his Powered by People PAC — now under investigation by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton — O’Rourke used the platform to smear conservatives and the Trump administration.
The Democrat praised Texas lawmakers who fled the state during a redistricting fight, calling them the “very last lines of defense” for so-called “democracy.” Then came the jaw-dropping comparison.
“I can only imagine the history books written 100 years from now looking at the people of 2025,” O’Rourke said. “It’s like Germany in 1933 when a clownish thug became dictator.”
O’Rourke accused Republicans of passing laws similar to Nazi “enabling acts” — a statement many conservatives see as an insult not just to President Trump, but to millions of patriotic Americans.
A Pattern of Anti-Trump Rhetoric
This is far from the first time O’Rourke has hurled such comparisons. In 2019, he likened Trump’s border security measures to policies of the Third Reich and accused the President of calling immigrants an “infestation.” In 2021, he even warned that the United States could “become Nazi Germany within 10 years” — despite Trump having left office.
Critics say O’Rourke’s latest comments are just another example of Democrats using fear, division, and extreme rhetoric when they can’t win on policy.
Investigation Widens
Fox News Digital reported that Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, has called on the Justice Department to join Paxton’s probe into O’Rourke’s PAC for possibly breaking the law by raising funds to support Democrats fleeing Texas.
For many conservatives, this episode confirms what they’ve suspected all along: when Democrats are under investigation, they change the subject by launching disgusting personal attacks on President Trump and his supporters.
