Thousands of people blasted former CIA and NSA chief Michael Hayden on Saturday after he compared the Trump administration’s immigration policies to Nazi concentration camps that were used to murder millions of Jews during World War II.

Hayden’s comparison came less than 24 hours after two MSNBC analysts declared that the Trump administration was throwing children into concentration camps.

“Other governments have separated mothers and children,” Hayden tweeted.

The reaction to Hayden’s tweet was overwhelmingly negative:

Hard to believe a man who publicly calls himself a General could make an implication as false, obscene and offensive as this.
An embarrassment to the United States Air Force. https://t.co/yjJd81uskg

This is disgraceful. But not surprising. https://t.co/sTqdB9CS52

Have you lost your mind? Why are hacks like Hayden attempting to exploit the Holocaust? This is despicable. https://t.co/fDyO9jf802

Other governments spied on their own people. Not sure you want to play this game. https://t.co/XB9Q1ihhr7

Funny you bring up the Nazis.
Because the spying you conducted on Americans would have made Hitler jealous. https://t.co/cJYY8VhfIE
