The White House blasted former President Trump on Tuesday after he shared a video on Truth Social that referenced a “unified Reich” if he won a second term, calling it “dangerous and offensive.”
“It is abhorrent, sickening, and disgraceful for anyone to promote content associated with Germany’s Nazi government under Adolf Hitler,” White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates said in a statement.
“Any Antisemitic dog whistling is dangerous and offensive – and profoundly un-American,” he added.
While Bates’s statement did not reference Trump by name — Hatch Act laws prevent White House officials from weighing in on the election — the Biden campaign was more direct.
“Donald Trump is not playing games; he is telling America exactly what he intends to do if he regains power: rule as a dictator over a ‘unified reich,’” Biden campaign spokesperson James Singer said in a statement.
