Berlusconi family 'feel like the Jews under Hitler' [View all]
The former Italian Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi, has said his children "feel like the families of Jews... under Hitler's regime".
...
Renzo Gettegna, of the Union of Italian Jewish Communities, said they were "offensive to the memory of those deprived of every right and, after atrocities and unutterable suffering, their lives".
...
Berlusconi is no stranger to controversy. He is reported to have said that "Mussolini never killed anyone. Mussolini used to send people on vacation in internal exile."
And he once compared the president of the European Parliament, Martin Schulz, to a Nazi prison guard, and described US President Barack Obama as "suntanned".

Berlusconi also allied his party with that of Mussolini's granddaughter:

It's amazing he got elected and re-elected. He's as bad as the worst of the Republicans, and those ones normally got chucked out at the next election after saying things as dumb and offensive as he has regularly done.
