Beto O'Rourke stands by comparing Trump administration to Nazis
Democratic presidential candidate Beto ORourke defended comparing the Trump administration to Nazis during a national interview on Monday.
CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer asked ORourke if he was going too far in comparing Trump to the Nazis. But ORourke didnt back down.
Find me a better analogy of another leader of a Western democracy describing all people of one religion as inherently defective or disqualified or dangerous, ORourke said. Thats what the president has done when it comes to Muslims.
ORourke continued on with more past comments of the president.
Repeating the lie that Mexican immigrants pose violent risk to this country, ORourke added. Asking four women of color elected by their constituents to Congress to go back to their home country. And having an almost Nuremberg-like rally where people are chanting Send her back or inviting the kind of violence based on the racism that hes inspired where you have another crowd cheering when someone says shoot them when the president says what do we do about these immigrants.
