McFaul was criticised for making untrued remarks and the clip quickly became viral.

“Hitler “didn’t murder German-speaking persons” is an absurdly false statement, as many Jews who died in the Holocaust spoke German,” Washington Examiner reporter Jerry Dunleavy replied. He added, “Pro Tip. You don’t have to play strange word games to make Putin look worse than Hitler. Putin has plenty bad facts. ”

Drew Holden, a political commentator wrote, “I promise you that regardless of what, I don’t have the need to favorably compare Hitler to current foreign leaders. ”
