Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte Invokes the Holocaust to Defend `War on Drugs' | 30 Sept 2016 |

Due to his acid tongue and backing of vigilante death squads, Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte is increasingly likened to a dictator. On Friday, he even made the comparison explicit himself, saying, "Hitler massacred 3 million Jews. Now, there are 3 million drug addicts ... I'd be happy to slaughter them," according to GMA News.

Duterte had just arrived in Davao City, where he served more than two decades as mayor, and first launched the extrajudicial "drugs war" that is now spiraling across the 100 million-strong Southeast Asian nation.

Since his inauguration June 30, police and vigilantes have heaped more than 3,000 bloodied corpses onto the nation's streets, many scrawled with grisly epitaphs like "pusher."
