"SNIP............

“GOP senators on Tuesday largely pleaded ignorance about a social media post from former President Donald Trump that invoked a potential “unified reich” if he wins a second term, though several condemned his team for using language that suggests empire-building and carries a connection to Adolf Hitler’s control of Nazi Germany,” Politico reports.

“The former president ignored a question about the post outside a New York courtroom on Tuesday.”

Applegrove:

One of Trump's staff reposted the Reich comment. They have since removed it from their feed. Has Trump denounced the people who wrote those words?

1. Anyone using that word knows full well what it means and it's a not so subtle message to the racist Republican base

It's not a dog whistle. It's a air raid siren.

2. And for Donald's wonderful ability of spelling..

You know he meant to spell it

3. Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Fuhrer.

We're getting pretty close. Make anything normalized again. It would be quite a challenge to resuscitate real, genuine Nazi ism again. It can happen here.

4. "several" .... That does not sound like a large majority.
