Two prominent Republican senators challenged President-elect Joe Biden after he compared them to an infamous Nazi propagandist.
Biden on Friday said Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) are “part of the big lie.”
He then recounted being told that Joseph Goebbels, Adolf Hitler’s minister of propaganda, falsely said that more people were killed in the bombing of Dresden than were really dead.
“And our papers printed that. Our papers printed it. That’s a big lie,” he added.
In a statement in response, Hawley said: “President-elect Biden has just compared me and another Republican Senator to Nazis. You read that correctly. Think about that for a moment. Let it sink in. Because I raised questions in the format prescribed by the laws of the United States about the way elections were conducted in the state of Pennsylvania, just as Democrats did about other states in 2001, 2005, and 2017, he is calling me a Nazi.”
“This is undignified, immature, and intemperate behavior from the President-elect. It is utterly shameful. He should act like a dignified adult and retract these sick comments. And every Democrat member of Congress should be asked to disavow these disgusting comments,” he added.
Cruz took to Twitter to call Biden’s comments “really sad.”
“At a time of deep national division, President-elect Biden’s choice to call his political opponents literal Nazis does nothing to bring us together or promote healing. This kind of vicious partisan rhetoric only tears our country apart,” Cruz added.
Biden’s team didn’t respond to a request for comment on the senators’ remarks.
Biden, who regularly said during the 2020 campaign that he would work to unite the country if elected, was upset that Hawley and Cruz objected to electoral votes from Arizona and Pennsylvania during the Jan. 6 joint session of Congress.

Hour by hour, Bidens slips deeper into cognitive issues.
100% true!!
I watched the Biden video. Goebbles would be proud of Biden.
So would Stalin.
Well done Uncle Joe.
And his example was the fire bombing of Dresden? That’s weird. We killed a hell of a lot of people in Dresden.
He doesn’t know other lies told by Goebells?
Josh Hawley crushes it! He’s got it and we must stand with him. 👏🏼
So much for the illegal occupier “bringing people together”. Freakin’ scumrat right off the bat flamed race relations by saying BLM would have been treated more harshly if they stormed the Capital. That was his freakin’ response and now the illegal occupier is making Nazi accusations.
Stupid idiots don't realize demonicRATS are targetting them for destruction regardless of where they stand or what they say about what happened.
Or any other issue for that matter.
Fight back, cowards! They're coming after you no matter what you say or do.
Stupid idiots.
I’ll raise them one.
Biden should be disqualified from the presidency or removed under the 25th Amendment.
Mr. Cruz, I don't want anything to do with coming together with these people. You are pussy since you did not attack Biden back ... and it is so easy to do. Your words are meaningless and the past has proven that they do not work. Grow a set and fight.
Hawley is my senator. He came from out of nowhere to win his Senate seat and I never trusted him.
Looks like I was wrong.
I may be mistaken, but I don’t recall any prominent politician using the “A” (Alzheimer’s) word in describing Biden’s condition. Why are they shying away from that?
One of the most baffling of the species is the one who makes a stand for We the People, then goes against us and our leaders. Cruz will filibuster for us against socialized medicine, then head up some foreign executive exchange program he’ll go to the Supreme Court for an obvious wrong and way late by the way then verbally bitchslap Trump
He acts surprised that pelosi and gang would insult him
He is so tone deaf I wonder if he has ever voluntarily heard an entire piece of music.
you have to give Biden a break, he probably needs a diaper change and is just cranky.
The future President Hawley will look back on this as the moment when he broke from the pack and left the pretenders and usurpers behind.
Hey Cruz.... hows that for “Over the line rhetoric”??? Huh????
Hawley certainly looks the part of a real life Mr. Smith goes to Washington. Let’s hope he’s sincere.
Exactly why he would have been steamroller by Hillary in 2016
