"Nazi' means a dictator, to tell you how you're going to live your life," he said. "That was the term I used. I'm going to think about whether I apologize or not, and if I do so, I'll do it in writing."

Holy shit what a grade A+ moron. That's just baffling, how can you possibly call someone a Nazi and then try to actively change the definition of the word to make yourself less blantantly wrong. This is Trump drawing on a forecast map with a sharpie because it disagreed with him level stupid.

Are you unaware of the term grammar nazi?

Thanks for calming me down. At one of my jobs I was known as "that safety nazi," which I wore as a badge of honour.

I think when you're in city council you don't get to throw around the word Nazi like the rest of us do in casual conversation

Ah, this was updated with Wyatt's remarks after I posted it.

This is, unfortunately, pretty typical of him.

"Nazi" really doesn't mean fuck all anymore, it's been overused
