Steve Schmidt on Trump Criticism of Caravan: ‘Same Language You Would Have Seen in 1938 Germany’

‘He is stoking a cold civil war in this country’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
SCHMIDT: “Well, however we got here, we're here. And where we are is at an unprecedented place in American history. We have never had a president of the United States do what this president is doing. He is stoking a cold civil war in this country, and it has turned hot on the periphery. This man bowers, what he said was when he went in, he said, I can't sit by and watch my people get slaughtered. Screw the optics, I'm going in. And he went in to kill Jews. The Jews he believed that were financing the caravan, the invading army like a panther division that is threatening the southern border. An army that is racked and riddled with disease. The same type of rhetoric, the same type of propaganda that you would have seen in Germany in 1938, the Dee humanization, turning people into infested vermin. What trump is doing is stoking and inciting, for the purposes of political power, the worst amongst us to take action in his name. We have a situation where, but by the grace of god, the largest assassination attempt against them, two former presidents of the United States. Every one of those people was a target of Donald Trump's, and this man, a fanatic, was radicalized by Fox News, by talk radio, by a right wing propaganda machine that is as sophisticated as it has turned deadly.”
