Donald Trump Jr. is fighting back after coming under fire for comparing the economic policies of the Democratic Party and the Nazis.
President Donald Trump’s eldest son came out swinging on Twitter after the left screamed “bloody murder” for his remarks in an interview at a premiere for Dinesh D’Souza’s film, “Death of a Nation.”
Trump Jr. spoke with Jack Posobiec in a video posted by One America News Network on Thursday, commenting on “why Democrat policies have historically been dangerous.”
“I’ve been out hearing the left talking about all these things, fascism, Nazism on the right,” Trump Jr. said. “And when you look at the actual history of how these things evolved, and when you actually look at that platform versus the platform of the modern left, you say wait a minute, those two are really heavily aligned and, frankly, contrary to the right.”
He warned that people “can’t just spew that because someone told you that in a history class when academia and everything has been so influenced and so wrongly influenced.”
The film by D’Souza, who was pardoned by the president in May after pleading guilty in 2014 to violating campaign finance laws, showed “a very distinct and clear difference between what actually happened and what is being sold to our youth today,” Trump Jr. noted.
Asked how the film’s message could help reduce the negativity in the country and “get back to a place where we’re not trying to attack everyone all the time,” Trump Jr. said “you just got to talk about the facts, you got to talk about the history, you got to look at the platforms.”
“You see the Nazi platform in the early 1930s and what was actually put out there … and you look at it compared to like the DNC platform of today, and you’re saying, man, those things are awfully similar, to a point where it’s actually scary,” Trump Jr. said.
The President’s son contrasted what he was saying about Nazis and the Democratic Party with “a bunch of kids in dreadlocks running around screaming about fascism.”
“It’s like, wait a second, have you actually taken a history class? Do you actually know what these words mean that you’re running around and spewing?” he said.
“But they’re able to get away with that because, you know, academia, mainstream media, they’ll sell the same false narrative,” Trump Jr. said. “And they’ve been doing it effectively for quite some time.”
His comments immediately drew backlash as headlines quickly declared that Trump Jr. was likening Democrats to Nazis. Jack Posobiec attempted to inject truth into the debate.
Don Jr was commenting on the *economic* policies of the National Socialists
Funny how people are leaving out that context! https://t.co/rgwOsJoAnu

And Trump Jr. himself took to Twitter to slam the left for their glaring hypocrisy and even provided a video lesson of the “facts.”
So the left spends the last 3 years falsely calling my entire family NAZI’s, but the second I point out the similarities between the economic platform of the National Socialists and the Democrat Party, they scream bloody murder. Here’s what I was referring to. #facts pic.twitter.com/kTmwG1NDO8

He wasn’t about to take their meltdowns without a fight and many backed him up.
Don is spot on here. The left thrives on political, racial, and societal division.
Why is the left allowed to call @DonaldJTrumpJr a Nazi but he isn’t able to make a historic and accurate assessment of facts? ?
Facts seem to really bother the left https://t.co/PEyN6G6T8m

And suddenly the left attacked Don Jr for being too anti-Nazi
I’m starting to think they’re a little biased

When part of the Democratic party is Socialist, Trump Jr. is not wrong in that assertion.

He’s not wrong.

Considering the Dems want to: get rid of our right to guns, limit our speech, use the media for propaganda and lies, raise our taxes and push socialism…. I’d say them being compared to Nazi’s is fair but a harsh comparison. Their just short of mass genocide. Oh wait…abortion.

Once again Trump Jr. told the truth with historical accuracy.
