An Iowa state senator on Tuesday became the first elected official to leave the Republican Party over Donald Trump, in yet another sign of turmoil within the party over its presumptive nominee’s racist tirade against an Indiana-born federal judge who is of Mexican descent.
State Sen. David Johnson (R) likened Donald Trump’s rhetoric and candidacy to Adolf Hitler, calling his racist remarks and “judicial jihad” as the final straw.
“I will not stand silent if the party of Lincoln and the end of slavery buckles under the racial bias of a bigot,” Johnson said, according to the Des Moines Register.
In an interview with The Guardian, Johnson said he was put off by Trump’s “campaign to reality TV and large crowds and divisive language and all the trappings of a good show for those who like that kind of approach, and that’s what happened in the 1930s in Germany.”
He added: “I think that’s all I need to say, but certainly the fascists took control of Germany under the same types of strategies.”
