Beto O’Rourke, ripping Trump with an expletive, defends comparison of administration to Nazi Germany

WASHINGTON — White House hopeful Beto O’Rourke is standing firm on his decision to liken President Donald Trump’s 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 Trump’s smirk — for why he won’t 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 don’t really know that he knows what he’s talking about’ or ‘I want to make sure we don’t break our ability to work with Republicans,’ then every single one of us is complicit,” the former congressman said.
O’Rourke, who’s lagging in the Democratic race, defended his comparisons of Trump and the Third Reich during a live-streamed interview at The Washington Post.
Post reporter Robert Costa asked the Texan how he, if elected president, would be able to fulfill his stated goal of bringing the country together when he’s angered many Republicans — include some who disagree with Trump — by employing such charged rhetoric.
O’Rourke responded that he didn’t think “speaking the truth” was in “any way disqualifying in being able to do work going forward.”
He then dived into a litany of controversies from the Trump era, predicting that “a majority of Americans, including Republicans, are going to see Trump for who he is in this administration, for what it’s done: the criminality, the corruption."
Among them: Trump describing some Mexican immigrants as “rapists.” Trump telling four women of color who serve in the House to “go back" home. Trump accusing a member of Congress of treason. Trump likening impeachment to a “lynching.” Trump proposing a Muslim ban.
“Outside of the Third Reich, give me another example of a Western leader who has called people of one faith inherently defective or dangerous or disqualified from being successful in that country,” O’Rourke said.
The Texan also singled out a Trump rally in May, when an attendee yelled out “shoot them” when the president asked how to stop migrants from illegally crossing America’s southern border.
“And the president, with that s***-eating smirk on his face, smiles and laughs in consent,” O’Rourke said, accusing Trump of “giving the green light” to the man who in August killed 22 people in El Paso as part of a shooting attack aimed at migrants.
O’Rourke then again turned to the history books.
“You ask yourself when you look at the history of the Third Reich … how did a modern country, well-educated, a source of innovation and ingenuity and moral leadership in the world, descend into that level of barbarity, producing a shame that lives with every single German to this day?” he said.
He sought to frame that rhetorical question in the present day.
“You look at everything that I just enumerated,” O’Rourke said.
Trump has not responded directly to O’Rourke comparing his tenure to Nazi Germany. But the president did make a point to insult the Texan at a packed rally last week in Dallas, describing O’Rourke as a “very dumb Democrat” who’s barely registering in the polls.
Trump campaign spokeswoman Samantha Cotten on Wednesday also jabbed at the Democrat.
“First O’Rourke wanted to take away guns, cars, cheeseburgers and straws to appeal to the far-left base,” she said. “Then it was supporting this baseless impeachment witch hunt. This is just O’Rourke’s latest attempt to desperately gain relevance in the Democrat primary.”


Oh Where, Oh where, has our TM and Axis of Socialism Gone.

Oh Where, Oh Where can they BE????
With their ideology long
And their Common sense short
Oh Where, Oh Where, can they Be????


Beto is made for them, and they are made for Beto.

Is TM speechwriting for Beto these days???
Even DPST's might snicker at these comments by Beto!!!!
Irrelevance prime!!

beto rips the entire foundation of and operations of the united states to this very day as racist, based on racism, imbued with racism, operated with racism. its nauseating what a fool this scarecrow is

So the jackass that can't keep his car between the lines falsely imagines that he can "connect the dots"?

He's lost his mind. I don't think he had one to begin with actually.

Beto speaks aloud publically what the rest of the DPST field refuses to speak to the media/public- they do not wish to divulge their true agenda and idiotology.

Listen to Beto - he speaks the "Truth" about the DPST agenda.

He's lost his mind. I don't think he had one to begin with actually. Originally Posted by Austin Ellen
