Rep. Mo Brooks quoted an attack by Adolf Hitler on Jews on the House floor Monday to chide Democrats and the media.
Hitler believed that a lie could be so “colossal” that it would be believed because no one would suspect anyone could lie that outrageously. Hitler claimed the “big lie” was used by Jews to blame Germany’s loss in World War I on an anti-Semitic general, whom Hitler hailed for his “superhuman will.” From “time immemorial the Jews have known better than any others how falsehood and calumny can be exploited,” Hitler wrote in the section from which Brooks cherry-picked quotes.
“Quote: ‘In the big lie, there is always a certain force of credibility because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature ... and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie,’” Brooks read.
Brooks retweeted coverage of his speech and uploaded it to his YouTube channel. Check it out at the top of the story.
