"LELAND VITTERT: It's just so offensive! I don't understand how people can compare Nazis, who perpetrated the Holocaust, to anyone. I mean, I remember when I was in high school and you didn't say that because of what we all knew the Nazis did. And now it's just thrown around. You don't think you're cheapening the memory of 8 million people? Who were put into gas chambers?"
"AMANDA LITMAN: I think the leaders of the young Republicans were throwing around accusations proudly. LELAND VITTERT: No, I'm asking you. You made the comment, no, Amanda. No, I'm asking you. You made the comment. No, Amanda, you don't get to do that on this program. You made a comment about Nazis and about Stephen Miller. I asked you a direct question. Don't pivot to Republicans. AMANDA LITMAN: Uh, again, if the title fits. It seems like they're leading an effort"
Amanda Litman defended a remark labeling Stephen Miller a "Nazi Jew," arguing his policies and actions amount to spiritually functioning like a Nazi and criticizing his role in ICE-related detentions. Host Leland Vittert objected strongly to equating anyone with Nazis, emphasizing the Holocaust's atrocities and warning that comparisons risk cheapening the memory of millions killed. The exchange became heated, with Vittert pressing Litman for a direct answer and rejecting her attempts to shift focus to others. The disagreement culminated in Vittert cutting off the segment and declaring the conversation over.
