Jensen doubles down after facing criticism for comparing COVID-19 policies to rise of Hitler
Republican candidate for Minnesota governor Dr. Scott Jensen defended his comparison of COVID-19 restrictions to the rise of Hitler after he faced scrutiny from Jewish advocacy groups this week.
The comparison, which Jensen made this past spring, made headlines after they were highlighted by local Jewish blog TC Jewfolk.
In an address at an anti-mandate event by Mask Off Minnesota, Jensen compared mandates to control the spread of COVID-19 to Hitler's rise to power during World War II.
"Little things grew into something bigger," Jensen said. "Then there was a night called Kristallnacht. The night of the breaking glass. Then there was the book burning, and it kept growing and growing, and a guy named Hitler kept growing in power."

Yes Doctor, antisemitic violence is exactly the same as wearing a mask to the store...
