Hitler comparisons aren't exactly a new thing in the world of political mud-slinging, but Transparent creator Jill Soloway just upped the anti by claiming presidential candidate Donald Trump is an "inheritor" to Hitler. The Emmy winner made the following comment backstage after accepting her trophy on Sunday night:

Transparent star (and fellow Emmy winner) Jeffrey Tambor was backstage with Soloway at the time, and added: "By the way, ditto, ditto and ditto on everything you said."

Donald Trump has yet to comment on Soloway's remarks, but one can only assume a tweet is being drafted—presumably with the words "dopey" and "wacky" in the mix.
