As is so often the case with Trump, he tarnishes the object of his scorn with the failings that he himself could reasonably be accused of, Dean Obeidallah writes.
At the Republican National Committee’s annual retreat this weekend, former President Donald Trump took the stage to a recording of the national anthem sung by the “J6 Prison Choir,” whose members were incarcerated for taking part in a violent effort to keep Trump in power following his loss in the 2020 election. It’s not the first time Trump has kicked off an event by playing this song that celebrates the January 6, 2021, attackers. Every time he does, it should disgust patriotic Americans.
The previous month, Trump described his political opponents as “vermin,” which concerned many given that that dehumanizing term has antisemitic connotations and was employed in Nazi rhetoric. Scholars of the Holocaust have pointed to Hitler’s manifesto “Mein Kampf” and his speeches in which he called for racial purity and said German blood was being “poisoned” by Jews. Trump hasn’t apologized for using such language.
