Harris skirts around Trump, Nazi comparisons as Trump campaign lashes out against them
"Look, I'm comparing it to the hate that came out of this, and I think they confirmed that," Walz said, referring to the Trump rally.
The Trump campaign continued its attack against comparisons likening the former president to a Nazi and accused the Harris campaign of painting all Trump supporters as Nazis.
While last week Vice President Kamala Harris clearly called Trump, a fascist, she didn't go as far as her running mate Tim Walz, who said there was a parallel between Trump’s rally on Sunday at Madison Square Garden and the 1939 rally held at the same venue. On Monday afternoon, WISN 12 News reporter Matt Smith asked Walz multiple times if he stood by his initial Nazi analogy.“Look, I’m comparing it to the hate that came out of this, and I think they confirmed that,” Walz said, adding it was people closest to Trump, like Mark Milley, who called the former president a fascist, and explaining why he believes his running mate is the best option for the American public. Smith pressed Walz again about his Nazi comparison.
“The rally, you saw for yourself. I’ll let the American public make the decision of what they saw,” Walz replied. “So I know what I saw, and I’ll just leave it at that.”
Harris's opinion
In an interview Tuesday, Smith asked Harris if she agreed with Walz’s initial Nazi comparison.Harris did not directly answer the question but said Trump is “constantly fanning the flames of division” and that he’s “unstable and unfit.”Harris did not address Walz’s comments.
