A Michigan Democrat running for U.S. Senate who repeatedly compared President Trump to Nazis now faces accusations of hypocrisy as her own party backs a candidate in Maine sporting a visible Nazi tattoo on his chest.
Story Snapshot
- Michigan Senate candidate Mallory McMorrow deleted approximately 6,000 tweets comparing Trump and his supporters to Nazis before launching her 2026 campaign
- McMorrow’s memoir and past social media posts drew parallels between Trump’s “America First” policies and Nazi Germany
- Democratic Party simultaneously supports Graham Platner, a Maine candidate with a Nazi symbol tattoo, highlighting apparent double standards
- National Republican Senatorial Committee exposes McMorrow’s scrubbed online history revealing elitist views disparaging “Middle America”
Scrubbed Social Media History Resurfaces
Mallory McMorrow deleted roughly 6,000 tweets from her social media accounts before announcing her 2026 U.S. Senate candidacy in Michigan. The National Republican Senatorial Committee uncovered evidence of these deleted posts through CNN reporting, revealing years of inflammatory rhetoric comparing President Trump to Adolf Hitler. In January 2017, McMorrow shared a Dr. Seuss political cartoon linking Trump’s “America First” agenda to Nazi Germany. Six months later, she directly compared Trump supporters to followers of Hitler, Stalin, and Putin in response to another user’s tweet.

Holocaust Comparisons and Memoir Claims
McMorrow’s pattern of Nazi analogies extended beyond deleted tweets into her published memoir. In October 2020, she shared a video featuring Holocaust survivor Walter, who warned of supposed parallels between Nazi Germany and the Trump administration. Her memoir repeats these inflammatory comparisons, framing Trump-era policies as echoes of 1930s fascism. These claims represent common progressive rhetoric since 2016 but take on new significance given McMorrow’s attempt to moderate her image for battleground state voters while simultaneously erasing evidence of her previous positions.
Democratic Party’s Nazi Tattoo Problem
While McMorrow characterizes conservative Americans as Nazi sympathizers, her own Democratic Party backs Graham Platner in Maine despite his visible Nazi symbol tattoo on his chest. This glaring contradiction underscores a troubling pattern among political elites who weaponize accusations of extremism against ordinary citizens while overlooking actual Nazi imagery within their ranks. The silence from Democratic leadership regarding Platner’s candidacy stands in stark contrast to their eagerness to denounce Trump supporters as threats to democracy. This represents the kind of hypocrisy that frustrates Americans across the political spectrum who see establishment politicians applying different standards to themselves.
Elitist Views of Middle America Exposed
Beyond Nazi comparisons, McMorrow’s deleted tweets reveal contempt for the very constituents she now seeks to represent. Her posts disparaged “Middle America” and fantasized about a secession between coastal elites and heartland voters. She promoted car-free futures and other progressive policies disconnected from Michigan’s working-class realities. The NRSC highlighted these deletions as evidence of McMorrow’s “political evolution”—a charitable interpretation of what appears to be calculated image management. McMorrow’s memoir also contains misleading claims about her move from California to Michigan, framing herself as a local while maintaining elitist coastal values that alienate rural and suburban voters.
This controversy arrives as McMorrow campaigns for Michigan’s open Senate seat in 2026, a critical battleground race. Her 2022 viral speech accusing a GOP colleague of racism elevated her national profile but now exposes vulnerabilities as Republicans deploy her own words against her. The episode illustrates how establishment politicians from both parties often prioritize reelection over consistency, deleting inconvenient truths while accusing opponents of the very extremism they tolerate within their organizations. For voters tired of government officials who say one thing to get elected and do another once in office, McMorrow’s scrubbed social media history and her party’s selective outrage about Nazi symbolism confirm suspicions that political elites operate by rules that don’t apply to regular Americans.
