Harris: Limbaugh’s horrifying use of Hitler references and swastikas is deeply offensive and wildly inappropriate, and it has to stop - now. Cantor is wrong; we do not need anyone who abuses the memory of the Holocaust in our political discourse, period.
WASHINGTON, DC - David A. Harris, President of the National Jewish Democratic Council (NJDC), released the following statement:
Recently, Representative Eric Cantor (D-VA), the lone Jewish Republican in Congress, said “we need ... the Rush Limbaughs” in the GOP.
Yesterday, Limbaugh compared President Barack Obama and Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to Hitler - and today his website has the logo of the president’s health insurance reform plan morphing into a Nazi graphic replete with swastikas.
Limbaugh’s horrifying use of Hitler references and swastikas is deeply offensive and wildly inappropriate, and it has to stop - now. Cantor is wrong; we do not need anyone who abuses the memory of the Holocaust in our political discourse, period. It is incumbent upon Cantor and the Republican Party to condemn Limbaugh and these utterly contemptible tactics.
Cantor: after Limbaugh’s website antics today and comments yesterday, do you really still think you “need” Limbaugh?
