In his NPR poll on Friday, Democrats likened DeSantis to Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler.
Co-host Melissa Ross asked Fried to comment on a tweet calling DeSantis “a dictator,” with Democrats responding that the ambassador’s remarks were similar to those of “Hitler’s rise.”
Fried said, “Growing up in Miami, you know, and having neighbors who were Cubans – we grew up hearing stories about many Floridians leaving the oppressive and communist regimes and socialist countries – and coming here to Florida, capitalism, to get a chance to win: [DeSantis] is doing everything possible to remove power from the local governments.
“Taking away people’s ability to demonstrate,” he added. “Making it difficult to vote. Talk about banning books.”
Fried seems to be referring to DeSantis’ policies against local governments from coercion vaccine and mask power, and push back against The Critical Race Theory – the stuff he compared to the Nazi dictatorship.
“That is what the dictators do,” insisted Fried. “Instead of listening and trying to rule with the people, he is trying to rule the people, and, you know, I’m sorry, I’m a student of history.”
“I saw the rise of Hitler, I learned those stories,” Fried said.
Nikki Fried is another desperate woman.

Fried On DeSantis’s Policies: ‘That’ s exactly what Hitler did to the Jews’
“Are you comparing DeSantis with Hitler?” Ross asked Fried. “In many ways, yes,” Fried replied. “I learned about Hitler and how he came to rule, you know, he wanted his army.”
Finally, the NPR recipient also noted that many countries have a similar military base to what DeSantis has recently introduced.
Undeterred, Fried said, “The governor is doing this with the intent of the regime and doing this to instill fear and promote this, to criticize the people for what is going on in their lives, to criticize certain aspects of our culture and our culture. World II, ”added Fried.
