Lindsey Graham slams repeated ‘Hitler shit’ comparisons to Trump

Former White House chief of staff John Kelly claimed in new statements that Trump once said Hitler “did some good things,” adding that the former president “certainly falls into the general definition of fascist”. Graham, who is supporting Trump in his 2024 presidential bid, argued that Kelly is entitled to his opinion, but that he is “very wrong” with his claims.

“I’m tired of the Hitler bullshit when it comes to Trump,” Graham told Fox News The story with Martha MacCallum. “The one and only Jewish state on the planet is Israel. No one is more popular in Israel than Donald Trump. He recognized Jerusalem as the rightful capital of the state of Israel. He recognized the Golan Heights as part of Israel There has been no better friend of the Jewish state. Hitler wanted to kill all the Jews, and Donald Trump is the best friend of the Jewish state. When President Trump was in office, we did not invade other countries trying to destroy people, we didn’t create concentration camps, we had the strongest army and we didn’t have wars.”

Graham went on to say that “the world was at peace” during Trump’s presidency and that Israel was achieving peace. He concluded that Trump’s record has been “lost” with Kelly and those who spoke out against the former president, adding that they “don’t know what you’re talking about.”

On Wednesday, Trump made another appeal to Muslim voters not to support Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential bid, citing how Harris is backed by “Liz Cheney, who hates Muslims.” The former president previously claimed that Cheney “wants to go to war with every Muslim country known to mankind” and that Harris would cause a third world war.

During Graham’s discussion, the South Carolina senator also addressed the news that at least 3,000 North Korean troops traveled to eastern Russia for training earlier this month. Graham stated that this is “another sign” of the growing danger the world has seen under the leadership of President Joe Biden.

“There is no deterrence. Deterrence has been lost everywhere, so North Korea is comfortable joining Russia in trying to destroy Ukraine,” Graham said. “It’s all you need to know about the lack of deterrence. When Trump, that will end quickly.”

Polling data released Monday, conducted among 5,000 registered voters, found Trump and Harris tied at 47 percent among all respondents. Among likely voters, Harris had a 1 percent lead over the former president.
