BOB DUFF PROVES TO BE THE MOST INDECENT POLITICIAN IN CONNECTICUT

ATTACKS TRUMP BY MINIMIZING THE HORRORS OF THE HOLOCAUST AND OPENING
JEWISH WOUNDS



MIDDLETOWN — The Connecticut Republican Party, led by Chairman Ben
Proto, demands an immediate apology from State Senate Majority Leader
Bob Duff (D-Norwalk) and calls on Connecticut Democrats to denounce the
abhorrent comparison made in a recent video posted by Duff. The video
equates former

President Donald Trump to Hitler—a comparison that is not only deeply
offensive but also trivializes the atrocities of the Holocaust and the
suffering of its victims. This rhetoric dangerously distorts history and
insults the memory of those who perished under the Nazi regime.

“In one of the most dishonest and disturbing political videos to date,
Bob Duff blatantly and erroneously equates President Donald Trump to
Hitler,” said Proto. “This video doesn’t just distort history; it

shamelessly exploits the horrors of the Holocaust and desecrates the
memory of its victims. By using such appalling imagery, Duff sends a
message of intimidation to millions of Jewish Americans, effectively
weaponizing their history and trauma for political gain. This rhetoric
crosses every line of decency and respect.”

“This video is part of a disturbing trend in our political discourse,
one that has escalated to the point where people have attempted to
assassinate President Trump,” Proto continued. “When a member of my
party compared Governor Lamont to Hitler in 2021, I condemned it
immediately and unequivocally because this type of rhetoric is
dangerous—it fuels division and incites violence. Yet, Connecticut
Democratic leaders remain silent in the face of similar recklessness. We
need leaders willing to stand up against this toxic narrative,
regardless of their party affiliation.”



“Equating President Trump—who has Jewish children and grandchildren—to
Hitler is abhorrent. The use of Nazi Germany imagery in political ads
has been condemned by the Anti-Defamation League, and for good reason,”
continued Proto. “It’s time we hold reckless politicians accountable
when they spread

hatred and poison our political discourse. Actions like these reveal a
disturbing disregard for unity and respect; they are not the actions of
someone who holds himself out as leader but is, in fact, a feckless
coward. But this is par for the course for Bob Duff, who has proven to
be lacking in morals and character, who has lied about the Norwalk
Police and will say or do anything that serves his political
aspirations. Bob Duff represents everything that is wrong with politics,
it is all about him, and megalomaniac need for more power.”

“Democrats had no problem calling out a Republican when a Democrat was
compared to Hitler, but crickets now. Stand up Governor Lamont, Speaker
Ritter, Senator Looney, Chair DiNardo and call out this garbage, or are
Democrats back to the rules for thee, not for me. As had been said about
a previous Senator, can now be said about Senator Duff, ‘Have you no
decency, Sir?” concluded Proto.
