Ohio Sen. Bernie Moreno calls top Democrat Chuck Schumer 'Fuhrer'

[Diamond_Dog]

U.S. Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, called the Senate's top Democrat Chuck Schumer - the highest-ranking Jewish U.S. elected official - "Fuhrer," a reference to the title used by Adolf Hitler.

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.

Eat shit and die, Moreno. Talk about sheep, you define the term with your fealty to the orange POS. You are one ignorant asshole and you are a huge disgrace to Ohio.

1. "Republicans are independent minded"

lol. These people all belong in straight jackets.

[Walleye]

4. So independent minded I hear the same talking points repeated every morning by Republicans. I think they get them

In their email every day. “Talking points for the day.” In other words, Putin has sent his propaganda for us to repeat this morning

[patphil]

24. Don't tell me they independently came to the same conclusion; that they should blindly follow Trump no matter what.

[Walleye]

2. I love the way they call them childish names behind their back

I’m sure on the Senate floor he referred to him as my esteemed colleague or something. I would say if you can’t say it to somebody’s face don’t say it at all. They don’t believe in that though.

3. Fucking racists emboldened by racist-in-chief. Sorry, I have no patience for racism. . . . nt

5. Projection.

6. More projection going on there than Bell & Howell...

Why it makes me jump and shutter.

Has more color than black & white...film at eleven.

Everyone should f-stop the orange-one and his musk(RAT).

[SocialDemocrat61]

7. It's not even a fair historical comparison

Chamberlain would be more accurate

[struggle4progress]

8. Moreno's flip-flopped on tons of stuff: he's either been bought or extorted

[newdeal2]

9. You're making me like Schumer now

[maxrandb]

10. Tell me again Chuck how we need to "work with these people"

[ananda]

11. Yes, irony really is dead.

What an upsidedown turn of phrase.

[Mysterian]

12. The lemming says as he follows his make-up splattered messiah over the cliff

"Republicans are independently minded."

[sinkingfeeling]

14. "Republicans are independently minded". Now that's funny! ROTFL.

15. In country terms:

Can't tell the goddammed fools anything!

16. Every accusation is a confession

17. snork. deflecting eh?

[mwb970]

18. Why are so many MAGA morons from my state of Ohio?

[Hope22]

19. A new contender for projectionist of the year!!nt

[Scrivener7]

20. If they say we're doing it, it's a sure bet they're doing it.

[GoCubsGo]

21. Ohio voted out Sherrod Brown for this sack of shit.

They're as big a disgrace as he is. The Moreno voters, and those who stayed home, anyway.

[Mblaze]

22. That isn't even worthy of a riposte.

Bernie has to bring a little more to the table besides obvious projection.

[hadEnuf]

23. Did he say this while goose-stepping behind Trump?

Assholes like this guy will even vote against themselves if Trump tells them to.

What an absurd waste of skin this clown is.

[PatSeg]

25. Evidently deflection never gets old with these guys

[flashman13]

26. According to the Repugs the sky is yellow and the sun is blue if the Donald wills it so.

27. Ohio is a huge disgrace to Ohio.

28. Said the Nazi cultist

F you, Moreno

[GreenWave]

29. And they have to pass the Koch bros. idiot test to get funded.

[yardwork]

30. That's a laugh.

The projection is strong in that one.

[Behind the Aegis]

34. Without a doubt!

Anti-Semites and those inching up to the line do enjoy accusing Jews of being Nazis. It isn't just out of projection, but also a way to make bigotry against Jews acceptable, after all, we all are supposed to hate Nazis, right? Except, of course, for those on the far-right who thrive on it.

31. Born in Colombia and lies like a rug, like Aileen Cannon

Moreno attended the University of Michigan, graduating with a bachelor's degree in business administration.[5] After it was publicized that his Cleveland Foundation biography incorrectly included a Master of Business Administration degree, his Senate campaign blamed the error on "a staffer who made a mistake".[6][7]

32. Translation: Republicans are full of shit

[NewLarry]

33. I have written to him twice

and not gotten any reply, not even a simple acknowledgement. He simply ignores his constituents. But he has time to name-call another Senator? What a dick!

A word of advice - never elect a car salesman. To anything.

The problem(s) with a Republican senator calling Schumer ‘Fuhrer.’
“Republicans are independently minded. Democrats are monolithic sheep that follow the Fuhrer Schumer’s orders,” said Bernie Moreno.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is the highest-ranking Jewish lawmaker in the history of the U.S. Congress, which made it all the more notable when Donald Trump — who is not Jewish — told reporters last month, in reference to the New York Democrat, “He used to be Jewish. He’s not Jewish anymore.”.....

Three weeks later, it appears one of the president’s allies on Capitol Hill decided to go even further. The Columbus Dispatch reported:

U.S. Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, called the Senate’s top Democrat Chuck Schumer — the highest-ranking Jewish U.S. elected official — ‘Fuhrer,’ a reference to the title used by Adolf Hitler. 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.

Asked about the comment, Schumer said "Look, let me say this. What Sen. Moreno did is absolutely despicable. It’s antisemitic, plain and simple. It’s outrageous. I lost lots of people in the Holocaust to Hitler. And for him to use those words, first, we demand he apologize immediately, but we also demand that his Republican colleagues start denouncing him on something that is so blatantly antisemitic." .....

Even if we put aside the obvious offensiveness of Moreno’s use of the word “Fuhrer” — especially in reference to the highest-ranking Jewish lawmaker in the history of the Congress — it’s hard not to notice that he seems to describe an alternate reality with no relationship to our own.
