Fans of President Donald Trump took aim at a comedian who said the MAGA movement will someday be viewed as comparable to Nazis.

Actor Andy Richter, widely recognized for his comedic work and as the longtime partner of late-night comedian Conan O'Brien, took to his Bluesky account on Friday to post, "I would bet a zillion dollars that in the same way we use Nazi to describe a particular kind of person today, in 20 - 30 years people will use MAGA.
