Joe Biden
Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden compared incumbent American leader Donald Trump to Third Reich propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels. His statement was aired on the MSNBC TV channel, TASS reports.
The journalist asked Biden to comment on Trump's words that if he wins, the American president will pursue a “socialist course.”
“He's about like Goebbels,” Biden replied, adding that Trump is using the same measures. “You often make a knowingly false statement, repeat, repeat, repeat it, and it becomes something known to everyone,” Biden said.
According to him, Trump's statements about socialism are an attempt to distract citizens from failures in the fight against the spread of coronavirus in the United States. The democrat also recalled that the incumbent president involved the military to disperse the protesters at the White House. “This guy is more [Fidel] Castro than [Winston] Churchill,” he concluded.
Earlier, Trump joked during a rally in Atlanta that he plans to remain in power for another 12 years. In response, the crowd present at the rally supported Trump and began chanting, “Another 12 years!”
