The Biden campaign slammed former President Donald Trump for echoing Nazi sentiments with his repeated statements on Saturday night that immigrants are “poisoning the blood” of the United States.
“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 campaign spokesperson Ammar Moussa said in a statement on Saturday.
The Republican frontrunner most recently repeated the anti-immigrant remarks at a New Hampshire rally and in a Truth Social post Saturday night. But Trump has used this language nearly verbatim at least as early as September.
“It’s poisoning the blood of our country. It’s so bad, people are coming in with disease,” he said in a September interview with far-right political propagandist Raheem Kassam.
In his “Mein Kampf” manifesto, Hitler used similar rhetoric about blood poisoning, declaring it an existential threat to the Aryan race.
“this person says that person said the same thing a famous person once said!”
Well luckily, all involved are quite prominent figures, and such a claim is easily verified by checking to see if famous person actually said the thing, and if Person A repeated it.
It’s not a case of ‘he said/he said’, these are easily verifiable, with historic or audio/video evidence, it’s no longer a case of “well it’s still alleged” or “we don’t know for sure they said that”
Yes, We do. Yes, they did. And that’s a problem.
