Peter Navarro Says He Wanted 'Baby' Dr. Anthony Fauci 'Strangled In His Crib'

[The Magistrate]

9. That Is What Struck Me, Sir

It looks like what's going on is a half-baked substitution in a half-remembered quote.

Churchill said rather famously in the days after the Great War that Bolshevism ought to be strangled in its cradle, and did what he could to commit English forces to bolster the Whites against the Reds. Navaro, having no more than the usual hazy idea of Churchill as the pre-eminent enemy of Hitler, and recalling a striking figure of speech, slots in 'Hitler' for 'Bolshevism' and proceeds, casting Trump as the Churchill who wanted Hitler strangled at the start, and Dr. Fauci as the Hitler to be strangled.

It should not be necessary to point at great length to the complexities of Churchill's attitude to Hitler, but he did not advocate strangling him in the cradle when the man was in it.
