The ‘Hitler’ name-calling follows Biden’s repeated insistence that Trump is an existential threat to democracy, which creates an ‘opening’ for assassins
Democrats, actually for years already, repeatedly have wildly claimed that President Donald Trump is a “Hitler,” a strategy that encourages violence against him because, after all, if he truly is a “Hitler” society’s limits on opposition are lifted in order to prevent the horrors that could follow.
Kamala Harris’ rhetoric repeatedly has gone into that twilight zone.
Now there’s another coalition using the same attack on Trump, according to columnist John Daniel Davidson in the Federalist.
It’s the Atlantic, which unleashed an “outlandish hit piece” on Trump, claiming he advocated for Hitlerian ideals, a wild claim by Jeffery Goldberg that “was immediately denied on the record by all the people who were in the room with Trump.”
It, the commentary charged, is “part of a larger psy-op to justify mass post-election violence if Trump wins in November, to signal activists to reject the results of the election, to divide the military, and to coax an insurgency out of the radical left-wing base of the Democratic Party and unleash it on American cities.”
Kamala Harris already has been quoting from the charges, but not the rejection of those by witnesses.
The publication claimed it was ex-Trump chief of staff John Kelly that made the claims against Trump.
Harris’ own version of the claims? “He does not want a military that is loyal to the United States Constitution, he wants a military that is loyal to him. He wants a military that is loyal to him personally. One that will obey his orders even when he tells them to break the law or abandon their oath to the Constitution of the United States.”
It a familiar tune from Harris, who has been insisting Trump will use the military to go after Americans.
“This is not just the normal heated rhetoric that comes out in the final weeks of a close presidential election. This is something else. It is at least a tacit call for violent resistance, for insurrection, and even for a third assassination attempt against Trump,” the commentary explained.
Trump already has been targeted in recent months by two assassination attempts.
