‘I’m not a Nazi,’ Trump says at campaign rally
HOUSTON, US (AA) – Republican nominee Donald Trump Monday rejected comparison of his rally in New York City over the weekend to a 1939 gathering of Nazis at that same venue, according to news outlets.
“I’m not a Nazi,” Trump said at a rally in Atlanta, Georgia. “I’m the opposite of a Nazi.”
Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee, has repeatedly called him a fascist and her Democratic supporters have compared him to Adolf Hitler.
“Kamala’s now doing something much worse than what she was talking about,” said Trump. “The newest line from Kamala and her campaign is that anyone who isn’t voting for her is a Nazi.”
Trump told the crowd that his father taught him to never say the word “Nazi.”
“He used to always say: ‘Never use the word Nazi. Never use that word,’ And he’d say: ‘Never use the word Hitler. Don’t use that word,'” Trump recalled. “It’s like, I don’t even know why – ‘don’t use that word’ – And then I understood.
“They use that word – really, it’s both words – ‘He’s Hitler.’ And then they say ‘He’s a Nazi.'”
