Trump campaign says 'unified reich' video not theirs, but Biden campaign isn't having it

Former President Donald Trump's account shared a video on social media Monday that included reference to a "unified Reich" among possible developments if he were to win re-election in November, drawing criticism from the Biden campaign. The Trump campaign responded Tuesday saying the video 'was not a campaign video', and then removed it from Trump's social media, but the Biden campaign isn't having it.

You can’t fix stupid, but the red hats make it easier to spot it.

"We are not responsible for the content we post on our campaign page." The MAGA GOP

My grandfather was a tail gunner in WW2. So many young men in that generation gave their lives for the freedom of others and to make sure this type of ideology wouldn’t see the light of day again. Look where we are.

"the language not used intentionally" 😂😂 hmmm...funny, don't ever hear anyone else using that language...I call BS on that

How can you accidentally use a word like reich? You can’t and you can’t explain it away.

It’s really simple. Two choices! 1.Biden-Democracy 2.Trump-Autocracy. Do you really want a lying Dictator?

"From the start, authoritarians stand out from other kinds of politicians by appealing to negative experiences and emotions. They don the cloak of national victimhood, reliving the humiliations of their people by foreign powers as they proclaim themselves their nation’s saviors. Picking up on powerful resentments, hopes, and fears, they present themselves as the vehicle for obtaining what is most wanted, whether it is territory, safety from racial others, securing male authority, or payback for exploitation by internal or external enemies."

He posted it he endorsed it. It was not just a retweet it was posted by them onto his page.

Weird how trumps campaign keeps making allusions to things concerning hitler. So strange. Definitely not a sign or anything. Just so strange.

I feel like I'm watching America end in slow-mo...

[Kayweg]

Oh right, the mandatory "staffer" did it.

[thinkforyourself-tl]

They are absolutely committed to lying about absolutely everything. 🙄

Stephen Miller is doing this .. yeah they did it with vigor.

"Many strongmen, past and present, have used populist rhetoric that defines their nations as bound by faith, race, and ethnicity rather than by legal rights. For authoritarians, only some people are "the people, " regardless of their birthplace or citizenship status, and only the leader, above and beyond any institution, embodies that group. This is why, in strongman states, a ttacking the leader is seen as a ttacking the state itself, and why critics are labeled enemies of the people or ter rorists."

It's like the wolf who keeps saying "I will eat all you chickens" and the chickens open up the pen anyway...

The Russian delegation showed up again to receive their campaign $ from Lara Putin head of the RNC.

Was the 'staffer' named Stephen Miller?

[glennwelsh]

Whether Donnie's campaign made it or not is irrelevant. He shared it, so he meant it. Besides, it's his M.O. - take advantage of others willing to do his dirty work so he can distance himself from accountability. "Oh, I didn't make the video that I shared. Somebody else did. So don't blame me."

For the greatest president in the universe his fans sure have a hard time listing any notable accomplishments he got done in office. 🤷‍♂️
