Former Governor George Pataki continued to make his rounds on the national media circuit today, attacking President Obama’s policy decisions relating to homeland security.

During the appearance on MSNBC’s Hardball with Chris Matthews, Pataki was asked to respond to recent criticism by Conservative Talk show host Rush Limbaugh, who in recent days has referred to the Obama Administration as “a regime that is Nazi like.”

Matthews asked Pataki if there was anything that Limbaugh said that he didn’t agree with. Pataki responded by saying, “I do not think this regime in anyway resembles Nazism.” Matthews quickly jumped in and asked him if it was a regime, and Pataki backed away from the word regime. He then went on to say,

“This administration does not in my mind resemble in any way a Nazi government. This administration has put in policies that I fundamentally disagree with, but that is part of the Democratic system.”
