The Biden campaign fiercely denounced Donald Trump following his caustic remarks aimed at immigrants Saturday, saying the former president “parroted Hitler.”

“Tonight Donald Trump channeled his role models as he parroted Adolf Hitler, praised Kim Jong Un, and quoted Vladimir Putin while running for president on a promise to rule as a dictator and threaten American democracy,” Biden-Harris 2024 spokesperson Ammar Moussa said in a statement.

Trump on Saturday ratcheted up his already inflammatory rhetoric on immigrants at a rally in New Hampshire. “They’re poisoning the blood of our country,” the former president said. “They’ve poisoned mental institutions and prisons all over the world. Not just in South America, not just the three or four countries that we think about, but all over the world they’re coming into our country from Africa, from Asia.”

        Politics can be news but only if it is newsworthy.

        Things Trump says is 100% not newsworthy. It only feeds into what he wants which is attention.

          The time for ignoring Trump has passed, he needs attention just not the type he wants. He needs more people standing up to his speeches to say that his fascist words are not just unacceptable but a mockery of any government that should be considered a democracy.

            People stood up to Trump for the last 7 years. All it does is provide free media coverage which is what he wants.

            His supporters don’t get their information thru public media, they get it from propaganda outlets, like Fox. They give absolutely two shits what Public condemnations there are, to them the more the better.

            Everyone is falling for the con all over again.
