WORLD POLITICS NOW ALL TOP NEWS
Rachel Maddow of MSNBC freaked out over Trump’s inauguration speech. She also did the most Rachel Maddow thing possible. Compared Trump to Hitler. That is a tired analogy that liberals have used over and over again throughout this election.
“This was a workman-like speech. He — it was short and he went through it quickly, and it was militant, and it was dark, the crime, the gangs, the drugs, this American carnage, disrepair, decay. You can’t imagine the outgoing president giving a speech like that,” said Maddow. Yeah, the point is that we wanted a president that was different than Obama.
“This president also repeating — the new president, also repeating that our guiding principle will be America first, America first. We know how he has used that as a campaign slogan, that does also have dark echoes in American history,” she said. Now she it looks like she is going after Republican philosophy in general, because ‘America First’ has always been used by Republicans.
“There was an America First Committee that formed in this country, hundreds of thousands of people in this country, some of the richest businessmen in the country were a part of of it. They were formed to keep us out of World War II. They were infiltrated by the Nazis. Many of them were anti-Semitic, part of why they weren’t alarmed by Hitler’s rise in Germany,” said Maddow.
“The America First Committee is something that means a specific thing in this country, to re-purpose it now, not that far down the historical path, it’s hard. It’s hard to hear,” she said. Check out her meltdown below.
