MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace sat across from Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker and confidently declared she didn’t believe “any Democrat” had ever compared President Trump to Adolf Hitler — a remarkable claim, given the video evidence and public record showing otherwise. The conversation, which played out on Wallace’s podcast, quickly became another episode in the media’s ongoing effort to rewrite history and protect their preferred political narrative.
Pritzker himself had just drawn parallels between U.S. immigration enforcement and tactics used in Nazi Germany, and then insisted he had not suggested Trump was Hitler, a convenient semantic dodge that Wallace eagerly amplified. This is the same class of rhetorical sleight-of-hand we see when media figures simultaneously make extreme comparisons and then deny the comparison ever happened when challenged.
The record makes Wallace’s claim ridiculous on its face — prominent Democrats and liberal commentators have repeatedly invoked Hitler, Nazism, or fascism in describing Mr. Trump and his movement. From past remarks by figures on the left to viral segments on cable networks, the comparisons are not rare, they are routine, and they have become a predictable outlet for partisan rage.
What makes the moment worse is that Wallace herself has trafficked in this rhetoric in years past, once saying she “watched enough History Channel to know that they cheered at Hitler, too” after Mr. Trump used the word nationalist. It’s simple: you cannot scrub your fingerprints off a tape and expect everyone to forget who handled the narrative.
This isn’t accidental; it’s gaslighting. When the left screams “never” after spending years making extreme analogies, it reveals a media class that believes its own narrative immunity entitles it to rewrite public memory. Conservatives aren’t asking for concessions; we’re asking for honesty — which is a foreign concept in many newsrooms that profit from outrage.
There are real consequences to this double standard. When the media elevates hyperbolic comparisons, then denies responsibility, it corrodes trust in journalism and poisons civic discourse, making meaningful debate impossible and pushing millions of Americans toward skepticism and disengagement. That erosion of trust helps no one except the partisan echo chambers that monetize division.
Patriots who believe in truth and accountability should call out this hypocrisy loudly. Hold the media to the same standards they demand of everyone else: produce the clips, admit the history, and stop pretending that what they said yesterday never happened. The American people deserve straight talk, not revisionist spin from elites who think they can tell us what to remember.
