There is no dearth of bizarre moments on reality television, but no scene might come close to what we witnessed on Season 12 of 'The Bachelorette'. Jojo Fletcher's season of 'The Bachelorette' was filled with a lot of heartbreak and romance, but there was also some drama thanks to Chad Johnson and his close friend Daniel Maguire. The two fitness enthusiasts became fast friends on the show and had each other's back.

Chad's violent language and behavior caused a lot of discomfort and anxiety amongst the contestants on the show. It finally reached a point where none of the participants wanted to have anything to do with Chad. Daniel felt like he was becoming collateral damage to Chad's unruly behavior. So, the handsome model decided to have a chat with his buddy. In an attempt to explain to Chad how his actions were reflecting poorly on his friends and bringing them down too, Daniel decides to resort to an analogy of Hitler.

Daniel tells Chad to imagine that he is Hitler. As soon as Chad heard his dear friend comparing him to Hitler, he gets annoyed and states that he doesn't want to imagine being Hitler. Daniel anyway continues with the analogy and asks him to imagine he is Donald Trump and advises he should be less Trump and more Mussolini.

If you thought Daniel's analogy was strange, then you should see what Chad was doing while Daniel went on rambling with his advice about being Mussolini. Chad was busy biting into a raw sweet potato. When fans rewatched this rather weird exchange between Chad and Daniel on 'The Bachelor: Greatest Season - Ever!', they were left amused with what they witnessed.

A fan tweeted, "Daniel literally bucket led Donald Trump and Hitler together even during this season. How epic  #TheBachelorGOAT." Another fan wrote, "Daniel telling Chad to be less like Hitler and more like Mussolini is still one of the strangest moments on this show #TheBachelorGOAT." "I 100% agree Chad is awful & should not get a platform, but this Hitler-Mussolini-Bush scene with Daniel and the sweet potato is peak Bachelor sh*t. #TheBachelorGOAT." "When Daniel said “let’s pretend you’re Hitler” to Chad—I tell you the rosé went FLYING out of my mouth. #TheBachelorGOAT," commented a fan. 

'The Bachelor: The Greatest Seasons - Ever!' airs on Monday nights on ABC.
