From Did a Minnesota congressman call Elizabeth Warren a Nazi?
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA Minnesota congressman draws sharp criticism for describing Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren as a “national socialist” on his Facebook campaign page, a term usually understood to mean Nazis.
Republican Rep. Jim Hagedorn attacked the 2020 Democratic presidential candidate for “socialist extremism” in a post Tuesday in which he vowed to keep working with US President Donald Trump.
Hagedorn later edits the post to replace the term with “Democratic socialist.” Spokesman Jake Murphy says Hagedorn was referring to Warren’s “socialist agenda” and updated the post so it wouldn’t be misconstrued.
Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party Chairman Ken Martin calls the post “completely reprehensible.” Martin says Hagedorn should apologize to Warren.
