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.

    I wonder if any lemming read Mein Kampf. How many found it inspiring or stuff. Because when I read it out of curiosity, it was so boring and stupid I couldn’t imagine this book being anything but punishment nazis sent to others just to make them endure such thing. Hitler wasn’t a Stephen King of his age, closer to Marx maybe, if Marx had all his fingers broken and eaten by himself. Shit’s so senile you can’t imagine it was reprinted times and times again under his rule, with gift editions and stuff. Why would anyone be fascinated by such a shitty book?
