Psychiatrist and CNN Guest Praises Hitler in Attempt to Dunk on Trump
A forensic psychiatrist, and former guest and health expert on both CNN and MSNBC, praised Adolf Hitler in an attempt to criticize President Donald Trump, and compared the Holocaust to Trump’s handling of the pandemic.
Dr. Bandy X Lee, an outspoken critic of Trump, tweeted her shocking comparison just one day before the election, crediting Hitler with better character than Trump.
“Donald Trump is not an Adolf Hitler. At least Hitler improved the daily life of his followers, had discipline, and required more of himself to gain the respect of his followers,” she wrote. “Even with the same pathology, there are varying degrees of competence.”
She also claimed that the pandemic death toll in the U.S “is higher than Hitler’s at the same period.”

Shortly after she tweeted the bizarre comparison, Lee removed her post. But instead of apologizing for her insensitive comments, Lee tweeted a long explanation attempting to justify them.
“Okay, I have taken it down, since it has upset so many people and was not provoking thought but the opposite. Of note, my statement was about how little Donald Trump believes he needs to do to retain his followership, NOT to minimize Adolf Hitler’s atrocities,” she wrote.
