Former CNN host Don Lemon says President Donald Trump’s Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement is the “closest thing” to a modern Nazi Party, arguing it functions as an ideological parallel even though it lacks the historical atrocities of Nazi Germany. In remarks reported by Mediaite and Fox News, Lemon frames the comparison as a version of Nazi ideology in contemporary American politics, adding that it is “without the Holocaust and all that stuff,” according to Mediaite. Fox News reports that Lemon also suggests Trump’s supporters are motivated by white supremacist politics rather than primarily seeking economic relief. The accounts present Lemon’s comments as a direct comparison between a modern U.S. political movement and Nazi Germany, while not attributing additional specific policy details to the comparison. Both outlets characterize the remarks as controversial and focused on the nature of the MAGA movement and the motivations of its supporters.
