On Tuesday afternoon, MS NOW made the latest comparison of President Donald Trump to Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler as afternoon host Katy Tur made an analogy between Jews who support Trump and wealthy Jews in Vienna who did not take Hitler seriously in the 1930s. The comments came during a segment in which The Atlantic's Tom Nichols appeared as a guest to complain that Republican leaders like Trump and Vice President JD Vance do not do enough to condemn Nazi sympathizers, which he recently wrote about. He insisted "The GOP has a Nazi problem," and said he was "aggrieved by how quickly 21st-century Nazism has found a home in the party of Lincoln." Democrats really enjoy smearing the Other Party this way. At one point, Tur brought up Trump White House advisor Stephen Miller and other Jews who support Trump: TUR: Stephen Miller's a Jew, though, you know, and Donald Trump's daughter has converted to Judaism. His son-in-law is a Jew. So I guess this is what always has been so confusing and and weird about this -- because even in 2015 and 2016, when Donald Trump was refusing to push away David Duke, or when he, you know, there were all sorts of examples, but there was a very famous one where he put Hillary Clinton's face over a pile of cash and a star of David calling her corrupt. Did Trump "refuse to push away David Duke" during his first presidential campaign? He disavowed Duke in 2015 and in 2016, but the press pounded away at it, and Trump did try to claim he didn't know anything about Duke...but he ultimately would disavow him. The stars at MS NOW would think it was garbage if you started talking about Democrats who were soft on Louis Farrakhan. Speaking to Nichols, she added: TUR: I mean, the dog whistles were barely dog whistles. They were bullhorns at that point, and now it's only gotten more extreme. So I guess -- what is the -- if we're going to keep going with this down this line, Tom, from what it started as to to what we're seeing today, what is the end? And how do you, I guess, how do you rectify the fact that Donald Trump's got Jewish grandkids with this? After Nichols theorized that Trump's supporters believe Nazi sympathizers are a part of their base that they do not want to risk losing the votes of, Tur responded: "Maybe they think they're rich enough, but ask the Jewish families in Vienna if they thought -- if they were rich enough to steer clear of any problems as the Nazis came in." Transcript follows: MS NOW's Katy Tur Reports February 24, 2026 3:49 p.m. Eastern KATY TUR: Stephen Miller's a Jew, though, you know, and Donald Trump's daughter has converted to Judaism. His son-in-law is a Jew. So I guess this is what always has been so confusing and and weird about this -- because even in 2015 and 2016, when Donald Trump was refusing to push away David Duke, or when he, you know, there were all sorts of examples, but there was a very famous one where he put Hillary Clinton's face over a pile of cash and a star of David calling her corrupt. I mean, the dog whistles were barely dog whistles. They were bullhorns at that point, and now it's only gotten more extreme. So I guess -- what is the -- if we're going to keep going with this down this line, Tom, from what it started as to to what we're seeing today, what is the end? And how do you, I guess, how do you rectify the fact that Donald Trump's got Jewish grandkids with this? TOM NICHOLLS, THE ATLANTIC: I don't think Donald Trump thinks in those terms. I think he thinks, "What's good for me and my family and what isn't." And right now, I think Tim (Miller) absolutely nailed it. And I talk about this in the piece. These people, you know -- you ask, "What do they get out of this?" They get votes, they get support, they get, you know, when JD Vance was asked to condemn these people, he said, "Well, I didn't come here with a list of people to condemn," you know, because they -- that's part of their base, and they think of themselves as a beleaguered minority. Even though they control the government, they think they need every single vote they can get. And they're not going to be Bob Dole. They're not going to be George H.W. Bush, who who in '91 basically says about David Duke, "Everybody, he's not a Republican. Everybody needs to vote for the other guy." You know, they're just not going to do that. And I think they think, and, "We're rich and powerful enough that none of this is going to touch us," you know, "Our families doesn't matter." And I think, you know, asking what Miller or Trump see in this, they don't think in those terms. They think in terms of themselves, and then they think in terms of everybody else. One of the names Tim mentioned, talking about how peaceful America would be after 100 million deportations, how is, you know, "What -- what kind of message is that? And where do you suppose they got that from when you're talking about deporting a third of the United States? So I just don't think they think in those terms. They think this is good politics, it's good rhetoric, it's votes. TUR: Maybe they think they're rich enough, but ask the Jewish families in Vienna if they thought -- if they were rich enough to steer clear of any problems as the Nazis came in. NICHOLS: I'm not saying it's smart, Katy. TUR: Yeah, no, I know, I know you're not.
