MAGA senator ignites immediate fury comparing Trump’s Iran war to ‘defeating Hitler’

A millionaire MAGA lawmaker had a surprising statement on President Donald Trump‘s Iran war that left people stunned on Tuesday.

Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) argued during a live interview on Newsmax that Americans should make do with the rising gas prices and compared the military conflict with Iran to how the United States defeated the Nazis during WWII, The Daily Beast reported.

“Could you imagine trying to tell the president, ‘Look, you’ve only got so many days to defeat Hitler or defeat Japan?’” Marshall said, reflecting on his own grandparents during World War II.

He said it was time for Americans to prepare for the unknown, despite rising prices prompted by the ongoing war and closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

“I’m sorry that gas prices are going up, but help is on the way, and your national security is even more important than your pocketbook,” Marshall said.

“We have to do it ’til we get the outcome that we want,” Marshall added.

People called out Marshall and his comments online:

“Some of these states are inflicting their stupidity on the rest of us, and holding us back. A Senator from Kansas who only got 700k votes should not have the same voice as one from California who got 9 million. This is one of the reasons we are [expletive],” retired Army sergeant and political commentator Danny wrote on X.

“Hey Sen. Roger Marshall. Don’t compare your illegal war to World War II. Get Hitler out of your mouth, @RogerMarshallMD of Kansas,” journalist Nancy Levine Stearns wrote on X.

“Well, yeah, it would go like this: ‘You only have so many days to defeat yourself.’ Because Trump is wannabe Hitler,” sports journalist and podcaster Jimmy Murphy wrote on X.

“Shame on the Kansas voters who put his [expletive] in office,” writer and filmmaker William Glad wrote on X.

“More Republican gaslighting. Do they even believe their own [expletive] they sell?” Developer Michael Dupuis wrote on Bluesky.
