The former US president told a crowd in Atlanta, Georgia that he's the 'opposite of a Nazi' before taking a swipe at Kamala Harris's campaign ahead of the impending US election
Donald Trump has been forced to deny he is a " Nazi " after his presidential campaign became engulfed in accusations he was a fan of Adolf Hitler.
Trump's unusual statement comes amid mounting scrutiny. In a recent interview with his former Chief of Staff, retired General John Kelly, branded Trump a "fascist" and claimed that he had once praised Hitler, saying "Hitler did some good things too." Critics, including several public figures, likened the rally to a notorious 1939 pro-Nazi rally held in the very same venue. The remarks from speakers drew backlash for their crude and racist tone, and the rally quickly became a lightning rod for critics who argue that Trump's words echoed a dark period in history.
More than 47 million Americans have already cast ballots in early voting - including outgoing President Joe Biden, who voted on Monday near his hometown of Wilmington, Delaware. “It’s a place that certainly we believe helps crystalise the choice in this election,” said Harris campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon of the Ellipse, calling it “A stark visualization of probably the most infamous example of Donald Trump and how he’s used his power for bad.”
