Head of GOP election inquiry compares Milwaukee newspaper to Nazi propagandist
Former state Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman, who is leading a Republican-ordered investigation into the 2020 election, compared the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel to Adolf Hitler’s propaganda chief after the newspaper and other outlets reported that Gableman had backed off from calling on city officials to testify in his probe.
Gableman directed his comments to a Journal Sentinel story in which one of his own aides said city officials will not be required to sit for interviews about last year’s election. The interviews were requested under subpoenas issued to city officials across five cities this month.
“What they’re doing over at the Journal would make Joseph Goebbels blush,” Gableman told Dan O’Donnell, the host of a conservative talk show on WISN-AM.
Goebbels served as Hitler’s propaganda minister during the Nazi regime.
