White House deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Millers speech at a Turning Point USA event for the murdered campaigner bore similarities with the words of Joseph Goebbels at an election rally in 1932, according to observers.

Paying tribute to Kirks widow Erika, Miller said: The day that Charlie died, the angels wept, but those tears had been turned into fire in our hearts. And that fire burns with a righteous fury that our enemies cannot comprehend or understand. But I see Erika and her strength and her courage.
I am reminded of a famous expression: The storm whispers to the warrior that you cannot withstand my strength and the warrior whispers back: I am the storm.
"Erica is the storm. We are the storm. And our enemies cannot comprehend our strength, our determination, our resolve, our passion.
Commentators on social media said this bore a resemblance to Goebbels's speech in Berlin, delivered the year before the Nazis came to power in Germany.
In that speech, Goebbels who entitled the piece The Storm is Coming said: We think no longer in terms of class. We are not workers or middle class. We are not first of all Protestants or Catholics. We do not ask about ancestry or class. Together we share the words of the poet: People, rise up, and storm, break loose!

Really needs to re-evaluate both his world view and his self-loathing.
Nobody should ever cheer for the likes of Heinrich Himmler.
