Donald Trump called one of his political opponents a Nazi in his 2000 presidential campaign

"Jon Ossoff, my advice to him is, if you start calling your political opponents Nazis, maybe it's time to shut up. That's just not what we do here in this country." -- David Brooks, this evening. Remember, Brooks still gets very handsomely rewarded by the fossilized media for saying shit like this

Yes that is the real sequence. 1. Trump called Duke a klansman when they were both running for president 2. Duke endorsed Trump www.politico.com/story/2016/0... 3. Trump pretended he did not know who Duke was www.nbcnews.com/politics/201...

I can find no record of David Brooks criticizing Trump, who slept with Hitler’s speeches in his bedroom, for this comment

Trump: "Actually, it was my friend Marty Davis from Paramount who gave me a copy of Mein Kampf, and he's a Jew." Marty: "I did give him a book about Hitler. But it was My New Order, Hitler's speeches, not Mein Kampf. I thought he would find it interesting. I am his friend, but I'm not Jewish."
