Hitler and Trump? What a low blow to people like me.

Shame on Miami Herald columnist Leonard Pitts for writing such trash, and shame on The Sun News for publishing his column comparing Donald Trump to Adolph Hitler.

By innuendo, you label all of us who support Trump as Nazis. Nothing could be further from the real truth.

We are patriotic, law-abiding citizens who feel this country is going in the wrong direction. If a conservative columnist wrote a column comparing Hillary Clinton to Lenin or Stalin, there would be a huge firestorm of protest.

This only goes to prove how far left the mainstream media is.

You don't see Trump supporters trying to violently deprive Clinton of her First Amendment rights and burning and stomping on our flag. Perhaps, these rioters are the modern day equivalent of the Nazi Brown Shirts. You should read your own guidelines that “prohibit inappropriate attacks on individuals.”
