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.”

    I’m glad you’re against fascism dude but fierce tweets and finger wagging is for the powerless citizenry not the president. Fucking do something already.

      What a shit take. The DOJ is doing its thing. What exactly would you have Biden do that wouldn’t be rightly criticized as abusing his power to interfere with the next election?

        Im tired of what passes for thought with both these responses. Especially since this waste of perfectly good letters is the same as the last.

        I mean fucks sake i hope some of the lurkers are thinking more critically than you two.

        Indeed, what should the government do about a criminal? Hmmm i wonder what they could do within the limits of the law? What has the govt done historically? Why don’t you have a look?

        You need ideas. Look up new ideas if you have to, for a later thread and another person (cuz this topic will return) and then you’ll be ready with something worth clicking that inbox for. Don’t let me down again

          I notice you didn’t answer my question, and tried to give me a homework assignment instead. Very trollish.

      Presidents are elected by the people. For a president to remove their opponent by something other than fierce tweets and finger wagging would be fascism.
