As if “deplorables” was not bad enough, mostly irrelevant, twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has now taken her ugly rhetoric even further by calling Trump-supporting MAGA Republicans “Nazis.”
Clinton recently likened former President Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler. She also compared MAGA supporters at last week’s Trump rally to Nazis.
The comment stemmed from the new gesture of “one finger” that has been appearing at Trump rallies. Trump’s critics say that the gesture is his followers showing not only support for Trump himself but for Qanon and the organization’s various “conspiracy theories.”
During the event in question, a Trump rally in North Carolina, a handful of attendees made the pointing finger gesture. However, security at the Trump event was seen on video asking people to stop making the hand motion.
Hillary Clinton said the MAGA supporters making the finger gesture were like Adolf Hitler supporters doing the Sieg Heil salute of the Nazis.
Clinton made the comments at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin, Texas.
Clinton said, “I remember as a young student, you know, trying to figure out, how people get basically brought in by Hitler. How did that happen? I’d watch newsreels, and I’d see this guy standing up there ranting and raving and people shouting and raising their arms. I thought, ‘What’s happened to these people? Why do they believe that?'”
She continued, “You saw the rally in Ohio the other night, Trump is there ranting and raving for more than an hour, and you have these rows of young men with their arms raised. I thought, ‘What is going on?'”
Clinton theorized, “So there is a real pressure – and I think it is fair to say we’re in a struggle between democracy and autocracy.”
Taylor Budowich – a spokesman for Trump – blasted Clinton for “using some of the most disgusting smears imaginable.”
“It seems like perpetual-failed-candidate Hillary Clinton’s basket of deplorables has run stale, not unlike herself,” Budowich told Fox News. “It’s pathetic, it’s divisive, and it is further cementing her legacy of cringe.”
