As Trump echoes language of the Third Reich, calling his opponents âverminâ whom he will âroot outâ to be âcrushed,â TV news must call out the violence of his dehumanizing rhetoric. [Democracy for America Advocacy Fund](#) {NAME}, Trumpâs incendiary language is worsening as he adopts full deposed dictator mode. Now, less than a year out from the 2024 election, he is already taking whole pages from Hitlerâs speeches to rouse the masses against the âenemy within,â which he says is so much more dangerous than any external enemies. He is calling his MAGA followers to wage what could become actual violence against progressives, people of color, and LGBTQ+ Americans, and the TV news networks must step up and hold him accountable. And itâs not just his language, but also his post-election plans that are focused on violence and retribution against his enemies. We need to take him at his word when he says that, if elected, he will âroot outâ the âradical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country.â Immigrants, meanwhile, who he says are âpoisoning the blood of our country,â will be rounded up into camps in what he calls âthe largest domestic deportation operation in American history,â based on âthe Eisenhower model,â which was known at the time by the offensive ethnic slur, âOperation Wetback.â Trump says he will wipe out his enemies âonce and for all.â When Hitler used this kind of language to channel the White Power anger in 1930âs Germany, the âfinal solutionâ he enacted involved one of the most horrendous genocides in world history. [Yet despite the fact that Trump has entered a new level of violent rhetoric, the news networks continue to give him a âfree pass,â letting his horrific comments slip by as if they were routine and predictable. Sign the petition today to tell the news networks: Stop giving Trump a free pass!]( [Add Your Name]( We canât become desensitized to Trumpâs hate speech, nor to his broader anti-democratic intentions. It became clear from his ultimately violent attempts to hold onto power after losing the 2020 election, that Trump does not ever intend to let go of power, regardless of the outcomes of millions of votes. This is not the only anti-American rhetoric from Trump that has gone unchallenged. He says he will use âideological screeningâ to turn away any immigrants who donât like âour religion.â So much for the First Amendment. He has compared immigrants to fictional serial killer Hannibal Lecter; he has called for shoplifters to be shot, drug dealers to be given the death penalty, and his former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to be executed for treason. We know Trump well enough to know by now that he is not exaggerating when he says he will âlock upâ his opponents, who have committed the one unforgivable crime: obstructing Trump in his single-minded drive to power. At this point, responsible news coverage must clearly state the obvious: the Republican front runner is calling for violence against fellow Americans, and it must stop.
