courting The Fringe Trump celebrates Nazi sympathizers as his backers run anti-semitic ads targeting Doug mhof who would be the first Jewish presidential spouse ever welcome to the no Spin Zone grass grievances starts right [Music] now coming off an erratic rather suboptimal debate performance new reporting reveals that Donald Trump has been courting the support of pro- Hitler neo-nazis according to NPR twice this past summer Trump's Golf Course in New Jersey hosted speeches from a white supremacist and Nazi sympathizer who was convicted for attacking the capital on January 6th here you see him sporting a mustache clearly resembling Hitler's mustache according to prosecutors he told co-workers at a Neville weapons station that quote Hitler should have finished the job and that quote babies born with any deformities or disabilities should be shot in the forehead one of the speeches he gave at Trump's property was for a fundraiser to raise money to support others charged in the capital attack Trump has openly embraced January 6 defendants not only calling them hostages and promising to issue pardons to them if he wins reelection but repeatedly allowing them to use his properties to raise money I want to thank Cynthia use for the tremendous job that she does and all of the people there you're amazing Patriots you love our country people have been treated very very bad sadly it's very sad what's happened you look at what happens to the other side and you know what that is nothing and they look to the right they never look to the left they can't see left but I just want to tell you that we're with you and our hearts are with you our soul is with you and those people that have been treated so unfairly so badly and we will somehow and hopefully in the very near future Rectify it we have a very big election coming up we have to win that election to bring fairness back to our country that was a video message Trump reported for the Neo-Nazi guy and the other January 6th defendants that was played at their event at Trump's Club note Trump said all of them including the Hitler Zealot are quote amazing Patriots and as revolting as that is it's hardly surprising Trump has a long and extend ensive history of cozying up to White nationalists and Holocaust deniers in 2022 the former president hosting a dinner at mararo with the known anti-semite right-wing commentator Nick Fuentes who encouraged Trump's supporters to attack the capital on January 6th Trump also famously told the violent all male Neo fascist islamophobic Jew hating proud boys to quote stand back and stand by during a 2020 presidential debate with Joe Biden and in 2016 Trump initially refused to disavow the endorsement of the longtime leader of the clue clu's Clan David Duke and that is only a small small sampling of Trump's Embrace of vile characters who hate Jewish people along with a Litany of other minority groups groups and women so why is Trump doing this logically it would seem that if one wanted to get elected president of the United States a huge diverse country they would try their hardest to not offend anyone but Trump has done exactly the opposite he has practically attacked everyone except for white straight Christian males and in and of itself self that would likely not win him the presidency he did lose to President Biden 4 years ago and only defeated Hillary Clinton thanks to a very undemocratic electoral college system but what Trump is now cunningly doing is trying to pit various minority groups against each other so that they do not all vote for vice president kamla Harris in November this strategy on display in michig Michigan where a trump supporting group is now running ads explicitly highlighting second gentleman Doug mof's Jewish faith and Harris's support for Israel according to the New York Times the ads specifically targeting Detroit area ZIP codes that are home to many Muslim and Arab Americans who are incensed over the Biden Harris administration's military backing of Israel and their war in Gaza and while it is perfectly acceptable to highlight where a candidate stands on all of the issues the ads seem intended to stoke ugly anti-semitic conspiracy theories including that Jewish Americans like mhof have dual loyalty to Israel and the United States and would betray America for Israel if necessary of course that is a lie and in fact the majority of Jewish Americans under 3 5 years old say they are against Israel's continued war in Gaza in addition almost a majority of Jewish Americans over the age of 50 say they are against Israel's war according to Pew research but that is besides the point Trump's goal is to chip away at the broad diverse Coalition Harris needs to unite if she is going to win in November and there is no better place to do that than a key swing state such as Michigan where according to 538 polling average Harris leads Trump by a little more than one percentage point four years ago Biden defeated Trump in the Great Lake State by three points but in 2016 Trump defeated Clinton there by less than a quarter of a percentage Point fewer than 11,000 votes so Trump unburdened by the facts or any sense of morality will do and say anything to get a leg up on Harris including stoking Jewish hate and other forms of hostility and Prejudice thank you for watching
