On Sept. 21, U.S. President Donald Trump and members of his administration spoke at the memorial service for the slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
A few days later, Snopes claimed White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller (pictured above) "plagiarized" from a famous speech Adolf Hitler's propaganda chief, Joseph Goebbels, gave in 1932 at the birth of the Nazi movement.
"The day that Charlie died, the angels wept," Miller said at the memorial. "But those tears have been turned into fire in our hearts."
With Snopes encouraging readers to "see if you can spot the similarities" to "The Storm is Coming," Bill D'Agostino of Media Research Center (MRC) says the intent of the comparison is clear.
"It's widely understood by much of the Left that words like Nazi are basically a liberal fatwa," he submits. "It's saying this is a less than human. This is somebody who is evil to their core, and thus, whatever is done to them is justified."
He believes liberals are getting desperate as they lose the levers of power in Washington and witness the Democrats' approval rating sink ever lower, and this article sends a clear message to their militant wing: Miller could use his own memorial service.
"If you continue painting targets on these people's backs and enough of your insane supporters act on it, then maybe you're hoping that eventually Republicans stop," D'Agostino poses.
Meanwhile, all of the half-hearted calls from Democratic leaders to tone down the rhetoric are falling on deaf ears.
"I don't really know how you stop this snowball rolling at this point," D'Agostino laments. "The Left is truly out of control right now, and they've become overtly militant."
