ZIONIST ORGANIZATION OF AMERICA IN THE MEDIA ZOA Urges Resignation of Florida Gubernatorial Candidate Nikki Fried Over Demented Hitler-DeSantis Comparison - Breitbart By Joshua Klein (JANUARY 16, 2022 / BREITBART) Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) head Morton Klein expressed outrage after Florida Agriculture Commissioner and Democrat candidate for governor Nikki Fried compared her potential general election opponent Gov. Ron DeSantis to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, calling her remarks “the ugliest hate speech I’ve ever heard” while urging for her immediate resignation. In response to the likening of Gov. Ron DeSantis to Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler by Florida Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried, a Democrat candidate for governor in the Sunshine State, the nation’s oldest pro-Israel organization released an exclusive statement to Breitbart News on Sunday calling on Democrats to condemn her “sick, demented” comparison. “Especially as a child of Holocaust survivors who lost aunts, uncles and grandparents to the horrors of Hitler, I urge that Florida Democrat Nikki Fried be condemned by Democratic Party officials in Florida and America for her sick, demented comparison of the great Republican Governor DeSantis to one of the Jew-hating monsters in history, Adolf Hitler,” Klein stated. “This is not only absurd, it diminishes and even whitewashes what the Jewish people and the world endured for six long years,” he added. He then called for Fried’s prompt departure, adding that her Jewish background made her remarks all the more infuriating. “I also urge that officials join me in demanding that Fried should immediately resign,” he stated. “The fact that Fried is Jewish only increases my anguish. There is clearly something emotionally and intellectually very wrong with Nikki Fried.” “She should be removed from public life and from having any say in people’s lives,” he added. Calling for her to “go away,” Klein deemed her comments “especially insane” due to DeSantis’ time-tested support for Israel. READ MORE Join Us in Florida (In-Person Event!)
