Steve Litwok is intimately familiar with the horrors unleashed by the Nazis and their führer.
“My family tree was completely pruned by Hitler,” the Jewish son of Holocaust survivors told me in a phone interview this week. “I grew up with family friends who all met in displaced person camps after the war. They all came to the New York/New Jersey areas.”
Litwok knows who Hitler was. Donald Trump is no Hitler, he said.
But Trump’s Democrat opponent and her leftist allies want Americans to believe that the former president is the second coming of Hitler. It’s a scare tactic and a lie, of course — one the left has been using with varying degrees of success for a long time.
Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign has amped up the “Trump is a fascist” rhetoric in recent days. It’s the end game strategy of a campaign built on Trump Derangement Syndrome and the sweeping narrative that the GOP presidential nominee — and anyone who supports him — is a threat to democracy. The accomplice media has complicitly fed American voters a heaping helping of the same hair-on-fire rhetoric since before Trump’s first term in office.
“Yes, I do,” Harris said when asked last week by CNN’s Anderson Cooper whether she believes Trump is a fascist, as the former president’s bitter former chief of staff said in a hit piece in the Trump-hating Atlantic.
‘Oct. 7 Changed Everything’
But the “fascist” fear drum Harris, her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, and their surrogates are pounding in the closing days of the election is itself a fascist tactic — the people in power labeling their political enemies as despots and tyrants.
