Hillary Clinton said Russian President Vladimir Putin’s rhetoric and decision to send troops into Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula is just like what Adolf Hitler did with Nazi Germany.
Speaking to attendees of a Boys and Girls Club of Long Beach (Calif.) fundraiser on Tuesday, Clinton said that Putin’s efforts to protect ethnic Russians in Crimea is comparable to Hitler’s campaigns outside of Germany in the run-up to World War II. In particular, Clinton noted Putin’s issuing of Russian passports to any Crimean of Russian ancestry.
