8:59Now PlayingRepublican Senate candidate JD Vance, who has been endorsed by Trump, had some old texts leaked from 2016 where he compared Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler. Georgia lawmaker Josh McLaurin leaked the texts to highlight how Vance is taking advantage of the party’s platform and talking points for his own political ambitions. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discuss on The Young Turks. Watch LIVE weekdays 68 pm ET.

"Senate candidate and Hillbilly Elegy author J.D. Vance, who received a recent endorsement from Donald Trump, reportedly suggested the former president could be “America’s Hitler” in newly leaked texts.
Vance’s former college roommate and Georgia politician Josh McLaurin (D) shared a screenshot of a supposed conversation the two had in 2016.
“But I’m not surprised by Trump’s rise, and I think the entire party has only itself to blame,” Vance reportedly wrote. “We are, whether we like it or not, the party of lower-income, lower-education white people, and I have been saying for a long time that we need to offer those people SOMETHING (and hell, maybe even expand our appeal to working class black people in the process) or a demagogue would.”
Vance went on to call Trump “the fruit of the party’s collective neglect,” referring to the GOP, adding, “I go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical asshole like Nixon who wouldn’t be that bad (and might even prove useful) or that he’s America’s Hitler. How’s that for discouraging?”
It’s not news that Vance was once a Trump critic — a fact that has been hunting him throughout his Senate campaign — but comparing him to Adolf Hitler is a recent development."
