Former President Donald Trump held a rally on Friday in Aurora Colorado, on "migrant crime" — pushing the viral internet hoax that the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua had taken over apartment projects in that city and were charging their own rent to tenants, something local police have been forced to debunk.
But before he took the stage, the crowd was fired up by Stephen Miller, the far-right adviser behind several of Trump's most draconian anti-immigrant policies, who pointed to pictures of purported Hispanic gang members and proclaimed: "Look at all these photos around me. Are these the kids you grew up with? Are these the neighbors you were raised with? Are these the neighbors that you want in your city?"
"We are at a terrifying tipping point," wrote Mother Jones editor-in-chief Clara Jeffery. "And if people think the hate will only land on undocumented folks, please read up on any past ethnic cleansing."
"Full on Nuremberg rally," wrote Brian Tashman of the Vera Institute of Justice.
"Assuming the pundits are preemptively blaming different minority groups for a Harris loss because it's easier than reckoning with the kind of gleeful hatred that has absolutely consumed, like, 48% of white people in this country," wrote Huffington Post senior reporter Nathalie Baptiste.
"That a Jewish-American is doing this without regard for history … vile," wrote national security attorney Bradley Moss.
"This is pure hate and racism," wrote Fred Wellman of the progressive group Meidas Touch. "Put it in German with pictures of Jews and use ... well ... Stephen Miller still ... and it is the same message."
"This is not the America my grandparents came to this country for," wrote Ohio Environmental Council director Spencer Dirrig. "They came here to experience freedom, inclusion, and democracy. We must reject this."
The scary part is...he hasn't really parsed out what he determines a 'real' American. He could just start throwing any immigrant he deems unAmerican, meaning they could start with his strongest opponents. He could say their family was here illegally since the beginning, lodge jail sentences, deportation, and denial of re-entry. Think of people who have never been out of the country!! But his interests only lie in what his base wants, it's terrifying!

This little bastard was born too late. He probably would do real good if he had been born in the 1920s. Because he thinks and behaves like a straight up nazi.
