Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) Quotes Hitler on the Floor of Congress, Refuses to Apologize.

Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL), read Mein Kampf aloud on the floor of Congress. The Alabama Holocaust Commission asked him to apologize. He refused.

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX), who has his own history of antisemitism, later defended Brooks, saying, “The potential is out there for another Hitler, socialist like Hitler, to come along, and like I said, it won’t be Trump.” Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN), who is Jewish, rightly objected, saying “They were Nazis who killed Jews, and I would get offended when you compare socialists to Nazis.” Gohmert replied, “well it’s what they were.”

The claim that Nazis were socialists is wildly inaccurate.
