A Republican candidate for Congress received a flurry of criticism on Monday after she compared President Barack Obama to mass-murdering dictators.

“Beware of people who rose meteorically from nowhere like Obama. His agenda has been carefully planned 4 him!!!” Marisha Agana wrote Sunday on Twitter. “History has a way of repeating itself: Stalin , Hitler, Mao Tse Tung and now Obama!!!”

After being subject to a slew of critical replies, Agana clarified that she was talking about Obama’s “pro-abortion stance” and urged people to view her Facebook post on the subject.
