Dem lawmaker: Trump's language on immigrants 'same type of propaganda that we heard in the 1920's' against Jews

Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) on Tuesday said President Trump’s rhetoric against immigrants was “the same type of propaganda” used against Jews in the 1920s.

Trump “demeans” immigrants and pushes “constant propaganda” about them, Nadler said during an Immigration Town Hall in Brooklyn.

“You’ve heard the president of the administration say that immigrants are thieves, that they bring in drugs, that they’re responsible for lots of crime, that we have a crisis at our border that they’re bringing in drugs and crime,” Nadler said.

“This is the same type of propaganda that we heard in the 1920s and after World War I against Jews,” he continued.

do not know they don't start calling him the fascist he is. Not as some epithet or to troll him.

He is a modern day American fascist.

every step of the way these past 2 years by a complicit Republican Congress, either through their silence, or open support.

Calling a liar a liar is not controversial, and neither is this.

but it's not. There were the Palmer Raids of the 1920s, the Chinese Exclusion Act, internment of Japanese-Americans as well as Italian-Americans during WWII and more.
