In line with a report from Breitbart Information, the signal belongs to Kevin O’Donnell, who’s chair of the Cohasset Republican City Committee.
“I simply thought we had been above that. I simply thought that wouldn’t happen on this election, or any election — there’s no Nazis in America,” O’Donnell mentioned.
Democrats have been pushing the road that Republicans, particularly Trump, are Nazis.
In October, Gov. Tim Walz in contrast the Trump rally at Madison Sq. Backyard to a Thirties Nazi rally.
