Beto O'Rourke, ripping Trump with an expletive, defends comparison of administration to Nazi Germany
WASHINGTON White House hopeful Beto ORourke is standing firm on his decision to liken President Donald Trumps administration to Nazi Germany, explaining that America is going to die in our sleep if we fail to connect the dots and draw the conclusion.
While the El Paso Democrat has been making that comparison for weeks, on Wednesday he gave one of his most impassioned cases using an expletive to describe Trumps smirk for why he wont back down from what he described as calling things by their right names.
If we just accept that and normalize that and say, You know what, I dont really know that he knows what hes talking about or I want to make sure we dont break our ability to work with Republicans, then every single one of us is complicit, the former congressman said.
ORourke, whos lagging in the Democratic race, defended his comparisons of Trump and the Third Reich during a live-streamed interview at The Washington Post.
