“You’ve said it very clearly, you are not a socialist. And you actually have a record to prove that you’re not,” anchor Stephanie Ruhle told Biden.
“But what the president does, he says you are, he says it twice as often and twice as loud. How do you combat that lie when he keeps pushing it, and some voters start to believe it?”
Biden boldly responded: “He’s sort of like Goebbels. You say the lie long enough, keep repeating it, repeating it, repeating it, it becomes common knowledge, they think.”
Joseph Goebbels was a German Nazi politician and Reich Minister of Propaganda of Nazi Germany.
He went on to suggest that Trump is “more Castro than Churchill.”
On Wednesday, Morning Joe regular Donny Deutsch said that there’s “no difference” between Trump’s “rhetoric” and “what Hitler preached.”
Deutsch began by critiquing the Trump crowd, saying “there’s not one person of color, anywhere, like usually behind him he puts one kind of, token in there” and went on to liken the rally to something from “the early thirties.”

Despite saying that comparisons to Adolf Hitler should not be made lightly, Deutsch continued: “But what was going on in early 30s Germany?
“Well basically you had a destruction of the belief in the free press, you had a blurring between the executive branch and the Justice Department, you have creating an other, whether it’s Muslims whether it’s Mexicans whether it’s congressmen who weren’t born in this country. And then you have the destruction of free elections. And we’re here,” he explained.
“And what is the difference between Adolf Hitler and Donald Trump? I’m not saying there’s a Holocaust, but when you look at the tactics, and that is where we are right now.”
