4:27Now PlayingSo far this week, there have been more than 2 dozen comparisons of Donald Trump to Adolph Hitler after Trump borrowed some of Hitler's rhetoric to attack Democrats by calling them "vermin." Trump has since doubled down on those comments, and rather than going after his language, Fox News hosts are angry that he's being compared to one of the worst humans in history. If you don't want to be compared to a piece of garbage, don't copy what the garbage says, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

As I'm sure everybody knows by now, this past weekend during his Veteran's Day speech, Donald Trump compared people on the left to vermin, specifically the former president facing 91 felony counts. Had this to say, we will root out the communist, Marxist fascist and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country. The threat from outside forces is far less sinister, dangerous, and grave than the threat from within. So not only are those of us on the left vermin, but we're a threat to this country. Now, everybody, I think at this point has pointed out that this is Hitler like rhetoric. You dehumanize the people you dislike, you say that they are a threat to your country, or in Hitler's case, a threat to your race. And that, of course, makes it easier for people to not see them as human beings and do horrific actions towards them.
That is exactly what Donald Trump was doing there, and media outlets correctly pointed out that this is very reminiscent and you know, almost, you know, a mirror image of what Hitler did during his rise to power. Well, Fox News is furious about this, not about Trump comparing the left of Ver No, no, no. Fox News is mad this week that media outlets have compared Donald Trump to Hitler dozens of times. Just in the last week you had Laura Ingram and Brian Kilmeade, and this is what happened. Kilmeade on an evening edition of Laura Ingram's show said this. Guess what they've already done? They've called Trump Hitler 13 times over the weekend. Hillary Clinton kicked it off on the view. So how much, after a while, people stop hearing it, they become numb to it. They're trying to rip Trump down because they believe he's going to be the nominee to root out the communist Marxist fascists and radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country.
Wow. So you, you quoted him and, and you didn't say this is what Trump said. You actually just took the words and had them coming out of your mouth. Brian, Laura Ingram said, now that one comment by Trump over the weekend sent the media into complete meltdown. They then played a super cut of all the times that on M-S-N-B-C and CNN, they compared Trump to Hitler. Because you know, the media's melting down over the fact that the Republican front runner is speaking just like Adolf Hitler. Now, I don't know about you, but it seems like if there's one thing on the planet that people should be upset over, it's a political leader borrowing the language of Adolf f-ing Hitler, right? I mean, that's kind of a red line. You know, ever, ever, ever since, you know, the end of World War ii, it's kind of been that red line that you don't cross. You don't talk like Hitler. You know, it's a very simple rule.
I mean, most people haven't broken that rule, but here is Donald Trump and he is by the way, since then, doubled down on it. And those two outlets, by the way, kill me, said they did it 13 times. They actually did it more than two dozen times. I think they should have done it more than a hundred times. I think it should happen every day because Donald Trump is not only comparing us to vermin, dehumanizing us, so it's easier for people to take out their aggressions on us. But he's also suggesting that he's gonna lock us in mental institutions.
