National Republican Congressional Committee Compares Democrats to Stalin
And followed it up with literal communist dumpster fire.

The National Republican Congressional Committee on Friday compared House Democrats to Stalin on Twitter. “The socialists now running the House Democratic caucus won’t be the first ones to put political adversaries ‘on a list,’” the House GOP’s fundraising arm tweeted, accompanied by a video of brutal Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin. When The Daily Beast editor Sam Stein pointed out the extreme comparison, the NRCC responded with a GIF image of a burning dumpster emblazoned with a hammer and sickle. This isn’t the first time prominent Republicans have made such an overwrought comparison: on Thursday, former Trump aide Sebastian Gorka called New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal proposal “what Stalin dreamt about but never achieved.”
