Maryland Senate President Apologizes for Hitler Comment

Friday, 27 February 2015 06:40 PM EST

Maryland Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller has apologized for citing Adolf Hitler while disputing a statement by the state's governor about the number of tax increases in recent years.

Miller, a Democrat, was responding Friday to statements made by Republican Gov. Larry Hogan that Maryland lawmakers approved more than 40 tax increases in the last eight years.

Miller told reporters Friday, "Hitler said that the bigger lie you tell, the more easily it's believed. I'm certainly not equating anyone with Adolf Hitler, but this 48 tax increases over the past eight years is total horse s---."

Miller later issued a statement saying the purpose of his comment was to illustrate "the absurdities" of attacks on Maryland's economy, and apologized to anyone offended by his comments.
