HBO’s Bill Maher quipped on Friday’s Real Time that Bernie Sanders-endorsed Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner’s days as a Democrat are limited and that he might have to become a Republican given his Nazi tattoo and other controversies.

Some people just can’t help themselves when it comes to comparing Republicans to Nazis. One such person is NBC’s Saturday Night Live Weekend Update co-anchor Colin Jost, who made the claim while fellow anchor Michael Che continued to do his best to help drag Zohran Mamdani across the finish line in New York City’s mayoral election.

Saturday was a day that ended in Y, which meant it was time for MSNBC host Ali Velshi and philosophy professor, media hero, and professional crazy person Jason Stanley to compare Republicans to Nazis. This time, the GOP’s offense was calling far-left No Kings rally attendees Marxists.

After Charlie Kirk was assassinated there was some nice-sounding talk about toning down the inflammatory political rhetoric, but some on the left didn’t get the memo. After Kirk’s memorial service, some internet-dwelling lefties compared Trump advisor Stephen Miller’s speech to that of future Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels’s 1932 speech about Horst Wessel. Snopes’s Nur Ibrahim set…

Even by the standards of flippant Nazi analogies, Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart had an especially ill-timed Nazi comparison on Wednesday as he taped The Weekly Show podcast before Charlie Kirk’s assassination and ahead of its Thursday release. According to Stewart, President Trump sending ICE to Chicago can be roughly analogized with Nazi invasions in World War II.

David Segal, a feature writer for the New York Times, interviewed German-born novelist Daniel Kehlmann, who “sees chilling parallels between what happened [under Hitler] and what has unfolded since Trump’s second inauguration.” The “Republican president = Hitler” smear has been a tired and offensive lazy liberal trope unworthy of appearing in a once-prestigious newspaper.

Having been roundly condemned in the days leading up to its premiere and an excerpt flirting with far-left, pro-murder psychopath Taylor Lorenz, CNN correspondent Donie O’Sullivan’s Whole Story episode aired Sunday on “a new kind of American extremism” declaring “violence in the country today is mostly from right-wing extremism” with “simply no equivalent on the left.”

Bill Burr seems immune to Trump Derangement Syndrome.

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough repeatedly condemns European leaders who brand as racists and neo-Nazis people who are opposed to open borders. Scarborough ignores the fact that he has made his stock in trade, calling Donald Trump a Nazi, a fascist, and Hitler for expressing similar views.

On Friday morning, CNN host Sara Sidner rewarded an anti-Trump protester who was arrested in California by giving him a forum to compare President Trump to Adolf Hitler. It's former NFL punter Chris Kluwe.

Former NFL punter Chris Kluwe went on a wild anti-Trump tirade at a city council meeting on Tuesday that led to him being arrested. On Thursday, he went on MSNBC’s The ReidOut to beat his chest about what a great guy he is for it and accuse anyone who disagrees with him, especially on transgender issues, of being a Nazi.

Comedy Central’s Jordan Klepper did not take the news that President Donald Trump has given Elon Musk and DOGE more power when it comes to hiring decisions. On Wednesday’s edition of The Daily Show, Klepper suggested that such a move would lead to the government hiring more Nazis.

This week the Media Research Center released a study, “Five Reasons to Defund ‘Public’ Broadcasting.” National Public Radio provided still another reason on Tuesday’s edition of All Things Considered, Odette Yousef, NPR’s “domestic extremism correspondent” (as in solely “right-wing” extremism) has previously filed insane stories on a host of topics in that cluster. The topic this time…

Fool Michael Rapaport once, shame on you. Fool him twice, shame on the “Atypical” alum.
