The Biden campaign is slamming Donald Trump after

The day so far

The Biden campaign is slamming Donald Trump after he shared a now-deleted video on his Truth Social account that included the phrase “unified reich”. While the language may have been cribbed directly from Wikipedia, the president’s re-election effort denounced it as Nazi rhetoric, and a White House spokesman chimed in to call such language “abhorrent, sickening and disgraceful”. Meanwhile, in Arizona, the former president’s allies are being arraigned on charges related to allegedly plotting to overturn Joe Biden’s election victory in 2020. Among the group is Rudy Giuliani, who tried mightily to avoid service of the indictment, but was ultimately tracked down thanks to his livestreaming.

President says comment from predecessor at New Hampshire rally ‘echoes language you heard in Nazi Germany in the 30s’

Joe Biden has attacked Donald Trump for using the word “vermin” to refer to his political enemies, saying it echoed the language of Nazi Germany.

At a recent rally in New Hampshire, Trump repeated his false claim that fraud cost him the 2020 presidential election and told the crowd he would “root out the communists, Marxists, fascists and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country that lie and steal and cheat on elections”.

Biden said Trump’s comments echoed language heard in Nazi Germany in the 1930s.

“In just the last few days, Trump has said if he returns to office he’s gonna go after all those who oppose him and wipe out what he called the ‘vermin … in America’… it echoes language you heard in Nazi Germany in the 30s. It isn’t even the first time,” Biden said at a fundraiser in San Francisco.

“Trump also recently talked about, ‘The blood of America is being poisoned’ … Again, echoes the same phrases used in Nazi Germany,” Biden said on Tuesday.

So the Nazi language is out there, the 21st century version of book burning has already started along with the beer hall putsch on steroids of January 6th.

Not to mention the attacking of judges, district attorneys, witnesses and juries.

If it quacks like a duck, and you still vote for it you will be a turkey on Thanksgiving.

While he attempted to say ‘unified right’ but… honestly it’s closer to a Freudian slip (I don’t think those actually exist but in a causal sense) that happens to coincide with the hundreds of other clues that makes the difference negligible given what he wants. But he has been beeping and all a lot lately so… even if it were an AI tweak, well done, they certainly aren’t holding back on their side.

I also believe that *rump's language is meant to intimidate Republicans into publicly backing him despite the disgrace.

I believe most of them know that shortly after Hitler came to power, many of the people that enabled his rise were murdered during the "Night of the Long Knives" because they were deemed as "insufficiently loyal."

Because his mouth flaps have been running constantly since 2015. But yes, one teeny tiny little distinction (which would not have caused them to try to erase it instead of defending it), just one extra straw on a mountain of exhausted camels with broken backs.
