Vice President Kamala Harris said on Tuesday that former President Donald Trump’s recent xenophobic remarks on immigration have “rightly” been compared to the language of Adolf Hitler..

And he’s dog-whistling to blame it on people from areas that don’t look like us.”. President Joe Biden’s campaign also slammed Trump for his comments for “parroting Hitler,” specifically a phrase used in the Nazi leader’s manifesto, “Mein Kampf.”. Support HuffPost.
