A United States Congressman has compared President Barack Obama to Adolf Hitler in a tweet criticizing him for not joining the world leaders at an anti-terror march in Paris on Sunday post Charlie Hebdo massacre saying that "even Adolph Hitler thought it more important than Obama to get to Paris".
According to News24, Representative Randy Weber's official account tweeted that Obama could not join the march for "all the right reasons".
The tweet draws a contrast between Hitler's visit to the vanquished city after his troops invaded in World War II and Obama's failure to join the march in Paris.
The White House also acknowledged that Obama or another high level representative of the U.S. should have joined the march in Paris after 17 people died in last week's shootings.
Representative Steve Israel, a Democrat said in retaliation that Weber's tweet "stoops to a new low by desecrating the victims of the Holocaust" and asked for an apology.
Weber has had a history of volatile remarks and misspellings on Twitter.
