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.
The Meidas Touch network has been saying this for a long time. I think this graphic of theirs is a great illustration:
One of the most glaring is his obsession with “fake news” which is a copy-paste of Hitler’s Lügenpresse or “lying press”
I’m sure there’s a full breakdown floating around the web somewhere of each time Agent Orange used a move from Hitler’s playbook… cuz there’s a lot.
Yes, but his people do not care.
They are fine with that.
They want a new Hitler. A lot of them don’t even really know enough about History to know why Hitler has been vilified.
That’s the scary thing about all the people who lived through WWII and the first wave of fascism dying off, I fear many have forgotten the consequences of supporting such ideologies.
By design. The educational system has been manipulated over decades to downplay Nazi atrocities and make it a simple Us vs. Them issue where we just didn’t see eye-to-eye.
I feel like we learn tons about the Holocaust and how bad it was, but little on how Hitler and the Nazis rose to power. That second part is crucial to preventing a future Holocaust and wave of Fascism, but most Americans have no knowledge of that.

They’re not merely fine with it. He says what they’re all thinking.
My Boomer mother (a literal Karen) is all-in on this shit. Immigrants stealing our jobs, welfare, whatever. Read to the penultimate point…
Remember the jackass from 01/06 with his feet on Pelosi’s desk? She lives in that tiny Arkansas town, Gravette. She got no love for Bigo, but here we are.
She started to rant the other night. Unusual for us. She knows I’m quite liberal, though we agree on much. Helped her pick an AR-15 for her husband’s Christmas gift! (She way overpaid from practice ammo. There’s a steep learning curve with gun ownership.)
Pointed out that Biden’s administration had seized more drugs at the border. Despite the right trying to frame that as a bad thing, doesn’t that sound like he’s doing the job better than Trump?
Pointed out that many liberals are angry with Biden, saying his border enforcement is too harsh.
Pointed out how our jackass governor, Ron Desantis, passed draconian laws to punish illegal workers, and they ran away. Now we have crops rotting in the fields and are suffering for medical workers. Where are the Americans whose jobs were stolen? Not stepping up for $5/hr. and no benefits?
Pointed out all the business owners crying for lack of workers, despite having supported the bill. “We, uh, just wanted to scare 'em. We didn’t think they’d actually move away!”
Pointed out that this country was built on slave labor, and still requires it. Run off the illegals, or pay real money and pay real prices for your goods and services. Pick one.
Pointed out that the Republicans could end the immigration issue instantly. Impose the corporate death sentence for hiring them. Uh, did I go too far?
Illegal immigration is an easy “blame the other” vote getter.
Where are the Americans whose jobs were stolen?
Fun anecdote: for a couple years I was just floating around to whichever opportunity opened up, one of which being a temp/referral agency that sent me to a construction company (which is like, THE job that the neonazis like to whine about immigrants stealing). Show up to this little trailer office thing, dude inside looks at me like I’m lost, so I give a quick intro along the lines of “Hey, I was sent from XYZ staffing to interview for a construction positi–” dude interrupts me with “Holy shit, you speak English?? When do you want to start?”
All I could hear in my head were the rednecks screeching about “THEY TERK OUR JERRRRRBS!!” cuz apparently to reclaim that stolen job, all we have to do is show up and ask for a job lol.
Dude offered the job before I even told him my name.
Do you live in Arkansas or Florida?
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?
“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.
