A Democratic congresswoman likened border security officials following Trump administration protocols to people following orders in Nazi Germany.
Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon (D., Penn.), speaking Tuesday at a House Judiciary Committee hearing on the administration's policy on separating children at the border, said she was struck by what she called the "denial of humanity" to illegal immigrants.
"When you say that the cause of migration is legal loopholes or bad judicial decisions, rather than the dire conditions of violence and poverty in these people's home countries that's literally driving them from home, I think it's easier to slam the door against these kids and these families," she said. "This hearing is a recognition and an insistence that on that humanity … a recognition that just following orders is no more an excuse today than it was back in Germany."
The euphemism of "following orders" is commonly used in reference to those who collaborated with the Nazi regime in the 1930s and 1940s.

Lol. Blah blah
She obviously doesn't own a mirror.
When the Dems start bringing out comparisons to Nazis, you know that their bag o' tricks is pretty much empty.
'Following orders' was definitely on display at the State of the Union address where the Deathocrat Stepfords were told what to wear, when to applaud, when to stand. She knows exactly how to be a good German when Frau Pelosi sets the agenda.
