As the tweet went viral, many public figures, regardless of their ideology or ethnicity, reacted with outrage to their analogy.
David Hookstead of the Daily Caller said, “Imagine living in this kind of delirating fantasy country.”
Inez Stepman of the Independent Women’s Forum said: “As someone whose circle of relatives lived (and others did not) under the Nazi and communist regimes, it is surely disgusting and @jemelehill, if you spent a month in a genuine authoritarian state, I would come back crying here. I’d kiss the flat I was walking on in America.
Former New York Democratic Assembly member Dov Hikind said, “REMEMBER @jemelehill about some between AMERICA and NAZI GERMANY!”

Earlier this month, Oprah Winfrey announced that she had selected Isabel Wilkerson’s exploration of race and hierarchy in the United States, “Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents”, as her newest selection of ebook club.
Wilkerson, 59, is a journalist who won the National Book Critics Circle Award in 2011 for her previous book, “The Warmth Other Suns,” on the migration of southern blacks in the early 20th century.
In “Caste,” she analyzes American history and the black remedy and discovers what she calls a lasting, invisible and unmentioned caste system, much like those of India or Nazi Germany, which has not yet been fully confronted.
“A challenge cannot be solved unless it is identified and described,” Wilkerson told The Associated Press, adding that Winfrey’s approval means that “many more people who have not learned this will have the ability to read anything that deeply affects us all. . “

Hill, now in The Atlantic and podcast host, called President Trump “white supremacist” on Twitter in 2017.
She was the host of ESPN at the time.
First, ESPN refused to punish Hill, but then marched it for two weeks in October 2017 after it again violated the company’s social media guidelines.
Shortly after returning from suspension, ESPN reassigned Hill from its flagship product “SportsCenter” to a position on The Undefeated, the company’s online page that covers sports and racing intersections. He left ESPN and joined The Atlantic, where he covers races, sports, politics and culture.
Last year, Hill deleted a prank tweet that referred to the assassination of the president in his State of the Union address.
The Associated Press contributed to the report.
