Veterans wouldn’t let them get away with it.
Via Free Beacon:
Military veterans condemned Ohio Democrat Richard Cordray, a current candidate for governor, in a new ad for his comparisons of the Trump administration and Republicans to Nazis.
Cordray twice made the comparison during campaign events.
The ad, released this week by the Ohio Republican Party, shows World War II veterans Vincent Francioli and Bill Herdman calling Cordray’s rhetoric “100 percent wrong.”
“Richard Cordray is not capable of governing the state of Ohio,” Herdman said.
“A leader doesn’t say anything like that,” Francioli said.
“You don’t go out and compare the White House with Nazi Germany,” Herdman said.
“That’s absolutely, 100 percent wrong,” Francioli said.
“Richard Cordray needs to apologize for that sort of rhetoric,” Herdman said.
The Cordray campaign has said he regrets making the comparison, claiming he was only repeating others’ comments. A coalition of three elected Republicans who are also veterans–Perrysburg City Councilman Haraz N. Ghanbari, Franklin County Auditor Clarence Mingo, and Franklin County Auditor Brian Stewart–have all called for an apology from Cordray.
