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.
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.
