Former New Jersey Gov. Christie Whitman appears to have deleted a tweet in which she said Adolf Hitler “had nothing” on President Donald Trump.

Whitman, a fellow Republican who has often criticized Trump and has even likened him to Hitler in the past, reacted to a graphic and violent parody video that depicted a likeness of Trump shooting and stabbing political opponents and members of the news media.

“#Hitler has nothing on #Trump,” Whitman tweeted with a link to the story from The New York Times, according to the Asbury Park Press, which first reported Whitman’s tweet.

The tweet has since been replaced with a new one from the former governor that condemns the video and asks “What is America becoming?”

This video, played @ the president's resort, is the stuff of dictators. The US is a land of discourse with those who disagree, not violent destruction of opponents in a church. #Trump & his defenders should be ashamed. What is America becoming? #TrumpVideo https://t.co/LFXd8cpKtX — Gov Christie Whitman (@GovCTW) October 15, 2019

Whitman didn’t respond to a request for comment on the video and attempts to contact a Whitman spokeswoman were unsuccessful.

The video was played during a conference held by conservative supporters of the president at his Miami golf resort last week.

It depicts a gruesome scene inside a “Church of Fake News” in which a figure whose face has been replaced with an image of Trump goes on a shooting rampage, targeting a long list of political rivals, including Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, former President Barack Obama and numerous news organizations.

Whitman’s removed tweet wasn’t the first time she compared the president to Hilter.

In late 2015, she penned a blistering column in Politico that drew parallels between Trump and Hitler, saying: “Trump especially is employing the kind of hateful rhetoric and exploiting the insecurities of this nation, in much the same way that allowed Hitler and Mussolini to rise to power in the lead-up to World War II.”

In a July 2019 column, she said: “His hateful language is an alarming threat to our nation, and heralds the denigration of our country’s institutions.”
