Donald Trump escalated his dehumanizing rhetoric against immigrants at an Ohio rally for Republican Senate candidate Bernie Moreno.

The former president continued his campaign to denigrate people coming to the U.S. in search of a better life

Former president Donald Trump, who opened his 2016 campaign declaring undocumented immigrants “rapists,” took the dehumanization even further this weekend, saying some immigrants are “not people … these are animals.”

“I don’t know if you call them people. In some cases they’re not people, in my opinion,” Trump said at an Ohio rally on Saturday. “But I’m not allowed to say that because the radical left says that’s a terrible thing to say.”

“These are bad — these are animals,” he added. “And we have to stop it.”

    Yes, that is indeed a terrible thing to say. It’s literally what Hitler said about the Jews. Apparently being anti-NAZI is a radical stance these days.

      Yep. It’s definitely not just the “radical left” that says that kind of dehumanizing rhetoric is terrible. It’s all decent people. Trump is a nazi.
