Joe Biden Campaign Blasts Donald Trump for Adolf Hitler-Like Comments on Immigration

The Joe Biden campaign strongly condemned former President Donald Trump for his recent statements, accusing him of echoing Nazi sentiments by claiming that immigrants are "poisoning the blood" of the United States, per CNBC.

Ammar Moussa, a spokesperson for the Biden-Harris 2024 campaign, drew parallels between Trump's language and the rhetoric used by Adolf Hitler in his "Mein Kampf" manifesto, where blood poisoning was portrayed as a threat to the Aryan race.

In a statement on Saturday, Moussa highlighted Trump's previous expressions of admiration for leaders like Adolf Hitler, Kim Jong Un, and Vladimir Putin during his presidential campaign, emphasizing his promise to rule as a dictator.

The Joe Biden campaign is firmly positioning Donald Trump as a threat to American democracy.

Trump repeated these anti-immigrant remarks at a recent New Hampshire rally and through a post on Truth Social.

This is not the first instance; Trump had used similar language as early as September, stating that immigration was "poisoning the blood of our country."

While Donald Trump's campaign spokesperson, Steven Cheung, praised the former president's speech, the comments have faced criticism.

Cheung contrasted Trump's remarks with what he referred to as the mainstream media and academia, providing a haven for "dangerous anti-Semitic and pro-Hamas rhetoric."

Donald Trump's Immigration Focus and Republican Demands

Donald Trump has consistently made criticism of the handling of America's southern border a central theme of his campaign, according to NBC News.

Congressional allies of Trump within the Republican Party are pushing for new immigration policies before approving additional funding for Ukraine or Israel.

This move, backed by Republican hard-liners, aims to tighten asylum restrictions and implement measures like ankle bracelet monitors for border detainees.

Trump's focus on immigration has sparked debates, with some Republicans demanding stricter border policies before approving aid packages for Ukraine and Israel.

While a deal is yet to be reached, optimism exists that an agreement could be achieved, incorporating many of the border measures Republicans are advocating.

This is not the first time Trump has used the term "blood poisoning" in connection with immigration.

The rhetoric has been employed consistently, even drawing criticism from within the Republican ranks.

Senator Lindsey Graham acknowledged his disagreement with Trump's choice of words, stating that he believes in legal immigration but disapproves of the president's language.

Joe Biden vs. Donald Trump: A Looming Rematch

As polls indicate a potential rematch between Joe Biden and Donald Trump in the upcoming elections, Biden's campaign is emphasizing the dangers of Trump's return to power, framing it as a threat to democracy.

Conversely, Trump accuses Joe Biden of detrimental actions, particularly on border issues, NBC San Diego noted.

Trump's recent Veterans Day rally in New Hampshire included vows to "root out" political opponents, drawing comparisons to past fascist dictators.

Despite the backlash, Trump's campaign dismissed criticism, with the former president later claiming he was joking about wanting to be a dictator on day one of his potential presidency.
