Hillary Clinton Slammed For Comparing Trump’s Ohio Rally To Hitler Courting Nazis

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton got slammed after she compared former President Donald Trump's rally in Ohio to Adolf Hitler courting Nazis.

Clinton said Friday at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin that she remembered as a young student, trying to figure out, "how people get basically brought in by Hitler. How did that happen?" She admitted to watching newsreels and seeing a man standing up ranting and raving. People were also shouting and raising their arms. She wondered what had happened to those people.

Then she talked about the rally in Ohio where Trump was there "ranting and raving for more than an hour." She said that there were rows of "young men with their arms raised." She thought what was going on.

On Sept. 17, Trump hosted a rally in Youngstown, Ohio, in support of U.S. Senate candidate JD Vance. He is facing Democratic Representative Tim Ryan to succeed retiring Republican Senator Rob Portman, reported Fox News. At the end of Trump’s speech, some of his supporters in attendance raised one index finger in the air.

Trump told the crowd that the incredible journey that they are on together has only just started, and it is time to start talking about "greatness" for the U.S. again. He called them one movement, "one people, one family, and one glorious American nation."

Clinton was accused by Taylor Budowich, a spokesman for Trump, of "using some of the most disgusting smears imaginable." Budowich called her a "perpetual-failed-candidate," and said that it seems like her basket of "deplorables has run stale, not unlike herself." He called it pathetic, divisive, and it is "further cementing her legacy of cringe."

There were other politicians too who compared Trump's event to a Nazi rally. New York state Senator Anna Kaplan is a Democrat who represents parts of Long Island, and she called on Americans to join her "in sharply denouncing the use of Nazi symbolism and imagery" anywhere in America's political process. Kaplan said in a statement on Sunday that at a recent rally that was held by Trump, and at a political rally held by a candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania, "supporters were urged to hold up their right hands in a unified salute."

According to her, it should "shock the conscience of every American." She thought it was similar to "the 'Heil Hitler' salute used by the Nazis."

Weighing in on Clinton's comparison of Trump's Ohio rally to a Hitler rally, Fox News contributor Tyrus said that it's the "desperate attempt of someone who has lost the argument."
