This Is What Happens When Media Pretends Everyone They Don’t Like Is Hitler
When Trump first came on the scene announcing his intention to run for president, Democratic politicians and members of the activist media did their level best to portray him as the second coming of Adolf Hitler and his supporters as modern-day Nazis. The effort to paint the right as a pernicious threat to “democracy” has not abated since 2016. Indeed, it has intensified.
Earlier this year, the left had an utter meltdown when Trump railed against illegal immigration. The Hitler comparisons were not rare.
But when it comes to one of history’s darkest moments, Trump is professing ignorance.
Facing criticism for repeatedly harnessing rhetoric once used by Adolf Hitler to argue that immigrants entering the U.S. illegally are “poisoning the blood of our country,” Trump insisted he had no idea that one of the world’s most reviled and infamous figures once used similar words. The Nazi dictator spoke of impure Jewish blood “poisoning” Aryan German blood to dehumanize Jews and justify the systemic murder of millions during the Holocaust.
“I never knew that Hitler said it,” Trump told conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt on Friday, volunteering once again that he never read Hitler’s biographical manifesto, “Mein Kampf.”
In 2021, The Inquirer published an op-ed in which the author argued that it is perfectly fine to pretend that Trump is the same as the Führer.
