Hillary Clinton, the failed presidential candidate, made some harsh remarks about Trump supporters. The remarks were made at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin, Texas on Friday.

“I remember as a young student, you know, trying to figure out, how people get basically drawn in by Hitler. How did that happen? I’d watch newsreels and I’d see this guy standing up there ranting and raving, and people shouting and raising their arms. I thought, ‘What’s happened to these people?’” Clinton said.

“You saw the rally in Ohio the other night, Trump is there ranting and raving for more than an hour, and you have these rows of young men with their arms raised. I thought, ‘What is going on?’” she added.

Donald Trump spoke at a Youngstown, Ohio, political rally last weekend. He teased an announcement regarding his political ambitions.

“And we’re leading Biden now in all the polls and we’re leading also all Republicans by record numbers,” Trump said. “The Republicans are not doing too well. And now, after what happened and watching our country go to hell, we may have to do it again. May just have to do it again. Stay tuned, everybody, stay tuned.”

Joe Biden had recently evoked imagery eerily similar to Nazi rallies with a primetime speech. The Marines standing behind the president in what the White House falsely claimed would be an apolitical speech is an abuse of the armed forces. Biden gave an angry speech with raised fists, ; the spectacle was complete with iconic red lighting, and the winged ledge behind him created a fascistic effect that is typically avoided by U.S. politicians.

In his tirade, Biden smeared “MAGA Republicans” as a “threat to our democracy.” 74 million Americans had voted for Donald Trump in the 2020 election.

Biden previously called MAGA supporters “semifascists”

“What we’re seeing now is either the beginning or the death knell of an extreme MAGA philosophy,” Biden said Thursday at a million-dollar fundraiser, according to a pool report. “It’s not just Trump; it’s the entire philosophy that underpins the — I’m going to say something, it’s like semifascism,” he added of former President Donald Trump.

“I respect conservative Republicans,” Biden added later. “I don’t respect these MAGA Republicans.”

Jennifer Rubin, the nominal ‘conservative’ Never Trumper at the Washington Post, claimed that there were QAnon supporters at the Trump rally who were giving a ‘salute’ that was similar to the Nazi salute.

Donald Trump has gone full QAnon. As he spoke during a rally for Ohio Republican candidates on Saturday, a soundtrack associated with the conspiracy theory played. That elicited one-armed salutes — another QAnon symbol — from many attendees.

The display bore an uncanny resemblance to the infamous Nazi salute. The delusional incitement and zombie-like response should put to rest the notion that President Biden (or anyone) should be “reaching out” to these people. They are unreachable, and pretending otherwise misleads voters.

They held up one finger, which is commonly associated with the number one.

Trump’s representative called Qanon/BlueAnon “dopey conspiracy.”

“As usual, the media is working hand in hand with the Democrats weeks before an election,” said spokesman Taylor Budowich.

But political rhetoric aside, the House GOP released its ‘Commitment to America’ agenda this week. It embraces the following points: Fight Inflation and Lower the Cost of Living; Make America Energy Independent and Reduce Gas Prices; Strengthen the Supply Chain and End Dependence on China; Secure the Border and Combat Illegal Immigration; Reduce Crime and Protect Public Safety; Defend America’s National Security; Make Sure Every Student Can Succeed and Give Parents a Voice; Achieve Longer, Healthier Lives for Americans; Confront Big Tech and Demand Fairness; Hold Washington Accountable; Restore the People’s Voice; and Preserve Our Constitutional Freedoms.
