Idaho Lawmaker Calls Governor ‘Little Hitler’

Idaho state Rep. Heather Scott (R) has suggested workers deemed “nonessential” during the coronavirus pandemic are being treated like Jews during the Holocaust, the Idaho Spokesman Review reports.

Scott compared Gov. Brad Little’s (R) shutdown orders to Nazi Germany, referred to the governor as “Little Hitler” and questioned his authority to decide who can and can’t continue working during the pandemic.

Said Scott: “I mean, that’s no different than Nazi Germany, where you had government telling people, ‘You are an essential worker or a nonessential worker,’ and the nonessential workers got put on a train.”
