"A Republican state senator in Tennessee invoked Nazi leader Adolf Hitler to support his argument in favor of a bill that would criminalize homeless encampments on public property.
Speaking during a Wednesday debate on the bill, which would classify camping on public property as a misdemeanor punishable by a $50 fine or community service work, Sen. Frank Niceley argued that homeless people can "come out of these homeless camps" and lead notable lives.
"I wanted to give you a little history on homelessness," said Niceley. "1910, Hitler decided to live on the streets for a while. So for two years, Hitler lived on the streets and practiced his oratory, and his body language, and how to connect with citizens and then went on to lead a life that got him in the history books."
"So, all these people — it's not a dead end, they can come out of this, these homeless camps, and have a productive life or in Hitler's case, a very unproductive life," Niceley went on, referring to the German leader who seized power in the 1930s before initiating World War II and carrying out the Holocaust, which resulted in the systematic killing of millions of people, including 6 million Jews."
