I admit, the comptetition is fierce. And there are years to go.
But if this isn’t the most blatant political lie of the decade so far, I’d like to know what is.
The source of the lie is Nicolle Wallace, who provides a daily dose of unfailingly hard-left Democrat propaganda every day on her “Deadline: White House” show on MS-NOW.
Given Wallace’s bias, there is plenty of material to pick from. But the following claim, made during her interview with similarly-leftward Illinois Governor J. B. Pritzker, definitely wins the grand prize.
After Pritzker says “I haven’t suggested that Donald Trump is hitler” (also a blatant lie*)…
… Wallace actually responds by claiming:
“I don’t think any Democrat has. I, I, actually um, and I, and I think it’s a smear that they project back on to critics…”
Nicolle Wallace doesn’t think any Democrat has called Trump hitler??????? Can’t believe she actually said that? I don’t blame you. But here is the video, so you can see/hear for yourself.
Either Wallace is deaf, blind and devoid of a cerebrum, she is the single most obtuse humanoid on planet earth, or she is a flat-out liar. I’ll leave it for you to decide which; you already know what I think.
Reality check: for years, including countless times during this past year, Democrats have been calling Trump hitler incarnate. It would be hard to find a Democrat who hasn’t called Trump hitlerian or, more generally, accused him of nazi tactics.
It would take world-class SIPs (people either so Stupid, and/or so Ignorant, and/or so Dumb that that they will unquestionably accept anything a hardliner from their party says, regardless of how ridiculous it is) to even think about buying into this utter BS.
Apparently, Nicolle Wallace thinks that her audience qualifies. I can only hope, for your sake, that she couldn’t say the same about you.

*From Jacob Kornbluth’s article for the Forward, on February 20, 2025:
Illinois’ Democratic Governor, J.B. Pritzker, drew a parallel between the Nazi regime of the 1930s and the policies of the Trump administration in a speech on Wednesday warning against authoritarian tactics. His remarks sparked sharp backlash from state Republicans, who condemned them as “juvenile and dangerous.”
“The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe a lifetime ago didn’t arrive overnight,” Pritzker, who is Jewish, said in his annual State of the State address. “It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.”
Pritzker said that although he does not “invoke the specter of Nazis lightly,” his deep understanding of history compels him to speak out against Trump’s actions since returning to the presidency, particularly his harsh immigration measures and mass deportation orders.
“If you think I’m overreacting and sounding the alarm too soon, consider this,” he told lawmakers. “It took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic. All I’m saying is when the five-alarm fire starts to burn, every good person better be ready to man a post with a bucket of water if you want to stop it from raging out of control.”
