2020 candidate Beto O-Rourke compared Trump's remarks about immigrants to Nazi Germany
Democratic presidential hopeful Beto O’Rourke has hit out at President Donald Trump, comparing his rhetoric to that of Nazi Germany during the era of the Third Reich.
“I thought, what is that doing to her head and her conception of herself and what she is able to contribute to this country, when the president of the United States has called Mexicans rapists and criminals, he then went on to call asylum seekers animals and an infestation,” O’Rourke said. According to Bloomberg, O’Rourke was later challenged over the comparison by a journalist. “Calling human beings an infestation is something that we might’ve expected to hear in Nazi Germany,” he said in response. “Describing immigrants, who have a track record of committing violent crimes at a lower rate than native-born Americans as rapists and criminals.
Twitter users have been divided by the remarks. Some have praised O’Rourke for “telling it like it is,” while others have derided his comments for degrading the national debate.
