(Jewish Group) David Perdue likens social media restrictions to Nazi rule

David Perdue, ex-senator and Georgia governor candidate, likens social media restrictions to Nazi rule

David Perdue, a one-term U.S. senator ousted by a Jewish Democrat a year ago, is now running for governor of his state as the Trump-backed candidate, and like others in that camp, he has taken to comparing aspects of contemporary life to life under Nazi rule.

Perdue was decrying Twitter’s removal of former President Donald Trump in January 2021. The social media giant cited Trump’s incitement to violence, particularly related to his spurring the rioters who led the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, seeking to overturn Trump’s election loss.

Perdue, speaking on a Trump-favored conservative online talk show, “Diamond and Silk,” likened Trump’s removal to some of the most repressive regimes in history.

“When individual citizens lose the right of free voice then we turn into a Germany in 1933 or a Russia in 1919, a Cuba in 1959 or Venezuela today,” he said.

Anti-Semites and their constant wails of "Nazi" persecution. Fucking snowflakes.

From a Floridian’s perspective (especially one living so close to “Jarjar” — my nickname for Georgia).
