South Dakota lawmaker backtracks after comparing doctors who treat transgender minors to Nazis.

“I wish I wouldn’t have opened my mouth because it takes the focus off the purpose of the bill, which is to try to help children,” he told the Post.

However, when asked by NBC News to comment on his “comparison of Nazi eugenics practitioners and the doctors of transgender minors,” Deutsch denied making such a comparison. “There was never a comparison made between the doctors,” he said in an email. “That is totally and completely wrong. Never said it. Never thought it. Don’t think it now.”

“The comparison pertained to resemblances in pictures I have seen in the two populations,” he added. “I am NOT, NOT, Not calling doctors Nazis!” Asked why his bill — which bans surgical and nonsurgical procedures for trans youth — specifically exempts cosmetic genital surgeries for intersex babies, a controversial practice that involves making an intersex infant’s genitalia appear more male or female, Deutsch said he didn’t “have time for a full response.”
