Ad by former Lincoln Project CEO comparing Jan. 6 to Nazi Beer Hall Putsch draws fire
Fox News
A new ad that compares the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol to the Beer Hall Putsch by which the Nazi Party attempted a failed coup d'état has drawn criticism from some who claim the ad is anti-Semitic.
The ad, which was narrated by actor Edward Norton, likened Trump's speech on Jan. 6, 2021, and the subsequent events to footage depicting Hitler's failed putsch in 1923, which ultimately led to the Nazi regime.
"There is a familiar rhythm to what happened there and then, and what's happening here and now," the ad continued, also flashing footage of the 2017 "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. The ad went on to claim that the Republican Party is planning to steal the 2024 election.
