Ohio Republican Bernie Moreno made the comment to reporters outside the Senate chamber as members of his caucus struggled to agree on a path forward to try to pass Trump's tax-cut agenda.

Ohio Republican Bernie Moreno, who was elected in November, made the comment to reporters outside the Senate chamber as members of his caucus struggled to agree on a path forward to try to pass President Donald Trump's sweeping tax-cut agenda.

"Here's the main thing you've got to understand. Republicans are independently minded. Democrats are monolithic sheep that follow the Fuhrer Schumer's orders," Moreno said.

IMHO the comment was offensive and tone deaf but not antisemitic. I don’t think Moreno was trolling Schumer. This is just another example that casual Nazi comparisons are ubiquitous.

A member of the MAGA cult party calling the Democrats monolithic sheep :roll: .

In other news, the pot still keeps calling the kettle black.
