Biden Condemns Trump Campaign Video's "Unified Reich" Reference, Evokes Nazi Germany Concerns
May 22, 2024President Joe Biden criticized former President Donald Trump for sharing a campaign video on Truth Social referencing a 'unified Reich' in the event of his re-election.
The video drew comparisons to Nazi Germany and was eventually deleted by the campaign.
The video included hypothetical news articles about a potential Trump reelection and was attributed to a staffer.
Recent revelations show that even Adolf Hitler had banned the term 'Drittes Reich' before it resurfaced in his 'political testament.'
Biden emphasized the dangers of granting Trump another term, likening his rhetoric to Hitler's Germany.
The controversy has sparked allegations of pursuing American fascism and further condemnation from Biden for Trump's history of inflammatory rhetoric.
The incident underscores the importance of careful social media management and monitoring for misleading information in political campaigns.
