Former Vice President Joe Biden compared President Trump to Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi Minister of Propaganda.
“You’ve said it very clearly, you are not a socialist. And you actually have a record to prove that you’re not,” MSDNC host Stephanie Ruhle told Biden. “But what the president does, he says you are, he says it twice as often and twice as loud. How do you combat that lie when he keeps pushing it, and some voters start to believe it?”“He’s sort of like Goebbels. You say the lie long enough, keep repeating it, repeating it, repeating it, it becomes common knowledge, they think,” Biden responded.
Biden went on to say Trump’s action made him more like former Cuban dictator Fidel Castro than World War II-era British Prime Minister Winston Churchill.
“People see clearly the difference between me and Donald Trump,” he added. “Trump is, you know — Trump is clearing protests in front of the White House that are peaceful, you know with, the military. This guy is more Castro than Churchill.”Ruhle did not push back against Biden’s claim that Trump was akin to Adolf Hitler‘s propaganda minister. Watch below.
