SCDP Chair Responds to DeMint US/Germany Comparison

Columbia, SC- South Carolina Democratic Party Chair Carol Fowler issued the following statement today in response to Senator Jim DeMint's recent comparison of the U.S. to Nazi Germany during a National Press Club appearance. During the event, DeMint said America is about where Germany was before WWII when the country became a social democracy.

"How dare Jim DeMint compare our great country to Nazi Germany? Americans are happy that our country is back on the road to recovery, not distraught and searching for real leadership. Senator DeMint needs to realize that American voters became informed, wanted to change their government and elected Barack Obama. The only thing the U.S. needs to save itself from is fear mongering Republicans like Jim DeMint," said Fowler.
