Biden says Trump speaks like ‘Nazi’ member


(MENAFN) In a scathing rebuke, President Joe Biden launched a blistering attack on his predecessor, Donald Trump, during a campaign speech in Pennsylvania, accusing him of attempting to seize power through "political violence." Biden drew a stark parallel between Trump's rhetoric and that employed in "Nazi Germany," branding the former president a threat to American democracy. The focal point of Biden's criticism was the January 6, 2021, riot at the United States Capitol, which he asserted was a significant part of Trump's legacy.

During the campaign speech, Biden asserted that Trump's focus is on himself rather than the well-being of the nation, describing his campaign as fixated on the past rather than the future. The President went on to accuse Trump of being willing to jeopardize democracy to secure his own power, labeling him as "sick" and a "loser."

Biden highlighted the lingering specter of political violence, emphasizing that Trump and his supporters continue to embrace such tactics. He contended that Trump's assault on democracy is not confined to the past but is a perilous promise for the future of the nation. Drawing an alarming comparison, Biden likened Trump's language to that of the Third Reich, citing instances where Trump referred to his opposition as "vermin" and spoke of the "blood of Americans being poisoned."

Positioning himself as a defender of American institutions, Biden declared that the assault on democracy is a persistent threat emanating from Trump's camp. The President's remarks reflect a deep concern about the implications of Trump's influence on the political landscape and the potential erosion of democratic values.

In response, Trump dismissed Biden's speech as a "pathetic fearmongering campaign event."

He countered by accusing Biden of presiding over an "unbroken streak of weakness, incompetence, corruption, and failure." The verbal sparring between the current and former presidents underscores the deep political divisions in the United States and raises questions about the future trajectory of American democracy. As the nation grapples with these challenges, the echoes of the January 6 riot reverberate in the ongoing political discourse, shaping the narrative for the upcoming elections and beyond.
