George Conway Sums Up A Donald Trump Tactic With 2 Words From Adolf Hitler
Conservative attorney George Conway drew a damning parallel between the rhetoric of former President Donald Trump and Nazi German dictator Adolf Hitler after Republican nominee Trump peddled the baseless claim that relief funding for Hurricane Helene is being used to assist undocumented immigrants.
It’s “a form of projection,” Conway told MSNBC’s Alex Wagner of Trump’s latest mound of misinformation, which Trump has pushed as the 2024 election is in the homestretch.
Trump “attributes to others motives that he himself has,” Conway continued.
The Trump White House in 2019 actually diverted $155 million from the Federal Emergency Management Agency disaster relief fund for its anti-immigrant policies.
“But it’s more than that,” Conway said.
The lawyer and fierce Trump critic then recalled the concept of “große Lüge.”
NEW: George Conway compares Donald Trump to Hitler and says he is a “cancer on American public life that must be removed, once and for all”

“That’s German. I don’t speak German, so forgive my pronunciation,” he said. “But ‘große Lüge’ is ‘big lie.’ It means ‘big lie.’ It was a phrase coined by Adolf Hitler in ‘Mein Kampf’ in 1925 for a propaganda technique by which you tell as big a lie as possible so that people will believe bigger lies.”
“They will believe bigger lies more than they believe smaller lies because they simply think that it’s impossible for anybody to have the temerity to tell such an amazingly large lie,” he added. “But Donald Trump does that as a matter of course. He’s a pathological liar and a sociopath.”
It is, however, said Conway, “par for the course for Donald Trump” and is “why he’s a cancer on American public life that must be removed, once and for all.”
