Donald Trump's campaign spokesman defended Trump using "vermin" to describe his enemies, while historians compared his language to Hitler, Mousselini.

      Both sides is legit because Clinton said deplorables and you defended it. Now Trump says vermin and you want it to be a big deal. It is literally the same thing and you don't care when it's your side but want everyone to get worked into a frenzy when it's the other guy.

        Calling people deplorable, and threatening to take action against de-humanized vermin is literally the same thing? That's some grade-A motivated reasoning.

        She said that hardcore Trump supporters are deplorable. Maybe not a great political move but I don't see a problem with accuracy. She didn't say she wanted to stamp them out like vermin, accuse them of made-up crimes for years, threaten vengeance or basically quote hitler verbatim, so not sure what you think the comparison is.

      You're very welcome. When you getting free universal healthcare? Biden doing that next term is he? But he's going to stop the shelling of Gaza though?
