In the age of Donald Trump, Nazi references are way out of control in American political discourse.

How out of hand? Even some of the wonky, nice guys in politics are making them.

But that doesn’t excuse Ohio gubernatorial candidate Richard Cordray, who made a bizarre comment likening some Republicans to Nazi collaborators while speaking in Lima before last month’s primary. Politics Extra on Monday obtained a video of Cordray’s speech to the Allen County Democratic Party Women’s Club on March 8.

The Democrat’s campaign said Cordray “regrets” the comment likening locally elected Ohio Republicans to a group of French officials who collaborated with the Nazis to help Germany conquer France in World War II.
