U.S. Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., said Tuesday that the FBI raid on former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club shows the federal government was akin to the actions of the Gestapo, the notorious secret police in Nazi Germany.

U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Weston, condemned Scott’s statement, calling it “repulsive” and said the senator should apologize for using “such a disturbing and reckless analogy.”

“To compare the serving of a search warrant authorized by a Federal judge and the US Department of Justice to the conduct of the Nazi secret police who directed the deportation of Jews to ghettos, concentration camps and mass murder sites is not just factually errant and irresponsible, it is repulsive,” Wasserman Schultz said via email. “Jews never stood a chance against Hitler’s Gestapo police. What a dumb, disgraceful, insensitive and dangerous thing to say.”
