Donald Trump Makes a Swift Response to Kamala Harris' Claim That He 'Invoked Hitler'

To the casual observer, it's beginning to look like the Harris/Walz campaign is flailing. They are growing desperate, and one wonders if they aren't on the point of throwing in the towel and trying to salvage what they can of down-ticket races. But they aren't quite at that point yet, and Kamala Harris continues to incite the left.

In the latest example, in a press conference on Wednesday, she accused Donald Trump of making a statement of admiration for - you guessed it - Adolf Hitler. RedState's Jennifer Van Laar broke the story on Harris' statement earlier.

Now the Trump campaign has clapped back:

BREAKING: Trump campaign responds to Kamala Harris' presser where she said Trump "invoked Hitler."

The Trump campaign's response, from communications director Steven Cheung, says:

Kamala Harris is a stone-cold loser who is increasingly desperate because she is flailing, and her campaign is in shambles. That is why she continues to peddle outright lies and falsehoods that are easily disproven. The fact is that Kamala's dangerous rhetoric is directly to blame for the multiple assassination attempts against President Trump and she continues to stoke the flames of violence all in the name of politics. She is despicable and her grotesque behavior proves she is wholly unfit for office.

While it's difficult, honestly, to draw a direct causal relationship between Harris's rhetoric, the rhetoric of her campaign, and the attempts on former President Trump's life, one can't deny the correlation. There's an old saying that goes, "Democrats always accuse their opponents of doing what they are doing themselves," and Kamala Harris illustrates this very well. Look at the recent history of political violence; we have to look no further than the 2020 "Summer of Love" riots, with billions in property damage, businesses destroyed, even police stations invaded and burned down - and all the Democrats have to point to is some hooliganism in the Capitol on January 6th, 2021.

The former president also responded via a post on his Truth Social platform:

It reads:

Kamala Harris’ sinking Campaign has become so TOXIC, that Democrat Senators in four different States are using me in their advertisements, and stating that they are with President Trump on Tariffs, and numerous other things. While it is a great compliment, it is not fair to those Republican Senate Candidates, Bernie Moreno, Dave McCormick, Eric Hovde, and Sam Brown, who are with me all the time. These Democrats have voted with Crooked Joe Biden almost 100% of the time. They only pretend to be on my side when Elections roll around. OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA, WISCONSIN, NEVADA: VOTE FOR BERNIE MORENO, DAVE MCCORMICK, ERIC HOVDE, AND SAM BROWN - THEY ARE THE ONES WHO ARE WITH US!

Let's apply the shoe-on-the-other-foot rule. Let's imagine that Donald Trump went in front of the cameras, and said something that could be argued as comparing Kamala Harris to Adolf Hitler. Imagine the hue and cry from the legacy media and Democrats - but I repeat myself.

Yes, the Trump campaign makes a good point. It's beginning to look like the Harris campaign is flailing.

And for Republicans, looking at the state of the race? Looking at the trending polls? Looking at the increasingly desperate stunts by the Harris campaign?

We aren't even to Halloween yet, but it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
