Biden slams ‘loser’ Trump for using the language of ‘Nazi Germany’ after ex-president compared his opponents to ‘vermin’ and said migrants are ‘poisoning the blood of our country’ – at San Fran fundraiser on eve of APEC 2024

President Joe Biden repeatedly went after Donald Trump at a fundraiser in San Francisco on Tuesday night, on the eve of a major summit of world leaders, declaring that his Republican rival “should not be president.”

“There are many reasons to oppose Donald Trump, but he should not be president,” Biden said.

He criticized Trump for comparing his political rivals to “vermin”, saying this was similar to what was heard in Nazi Germany. He bragged about Democratic victories in last week’s state elections and called Trump a loser.

Several polls have shown Trump leading Biden in a head-to-head race in the 2024 presidential election. Biden hit Trump by name several times in front of the crowd of 2,500 wealthy donors at the so-called “super event.” They repeatedly cheered the president.

Biden also compared Trump’s comments likening his political rivals to “vermin” to rhetoric you would hear in Nazi Germany.

“And in recent days, Trump has said that he will turn back on all those who oppose him and eradicate what he called the pests in America, quote the pests in America – a specific phrase because it only has a specific meaning. Biden said.

‘That’s the language you heard in Nazi Germany in the 1930s. That’s even the first time. Trump also recently spoke about America’s blood being poisoned. America’s blood is poisoned. Again, it reflects the same expressions used in Nazi Germany.”

Trump said at a rally in New Hampshire last weekend that if he is re-elected, “we will root out the communists, Marxists, fascists and radical left thugs who live like vermin within the borders of our country and lie and steal.” fraud in elections.’

Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris spoke at the reception hosted by California Governor Gavin Newsom. It was expected to raise more than $3 million for the president’s re-election campaign, Politico reported, and is being billed as a “super event” for the Biden campaign.

In his brief remarks, Biden did not hold back.

He called out Trump for his verbal attacks on Nancy and Paul Pelosi. Paul Pelosi was in court this week as part of the trial of the man who attacked him with a hammer.

The crowd booed when Biden spoke about the former speaker, who lives in San Francisco and represents the city in Congress.

“More than once in recent weeks he has made a joke about the attacks on Nancy Pelosi’s husband,” Biden said of Trump. “There is no place for political violence in America.”

Biden also cited Tuesday’s election results — including winning the abortion battle in Ohio, Gov. Beshear’s victory in Kentucky and Democrats’ legislative victories in Virginia.

“But since I came off the sidelines to take on Donald Trump, we haven’t stopped winning and he hasn’t stopped losing,” he says.

“Remember when Trump told us he was going to win so much that we were going to get tired of winning,” he said, adding, “Oh man, I shouldn’t be doing it.”

“Let me tell you one thing that is true. We are tired of Trump. The truth is, the man can’t get tired of losing,” Biden said as the crowd cheered.

President Biden is in San Francisco for a four-day trip. His meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping is the main event in the city, where leaders of the 21 economies that make up the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum are gathering for their annual summit.

Biden and Xi will sit together on Wednesday in Filoli, a remote estate along the Northern California coast.

U.S.-China relations have been frayed for months, but the White House hopes a chugging U.S. economy and falling unemployment can give the country new credibility in Biden’s talks with other leaders.

“The president really feels like we have the wind at our backs here,” White House national security spokesman John Kirby said during the westward flight.

Additionally, Biden has been urged to meet San Francisco’s homeless and see the city’s misery firsthand while he is in the city by the bay. Social rights advocates have criticized the recent cleanup of San Francisco’s streets, saying it is only meant to avoid embarrassing the country when all the foreign leaders are in town.

But while issues surrounding the Asia-Pacific region are on the table, Biden will also work to prevent the war between Israel and Hamas from spiraling into a broader conflict and to convince Republican lawmakers to continue spending billions more on the costly Ukrainian efforts to fend off Russia’s nearly 21-year war. month old invasion.

“President Biden will do much more than just meet with President Xi in the coming week,” White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters on Monday.

He added that Biden would put forward his economic vision for the region, advocate that the US is “the very preeminent engine” for sustainable economic growth in the Asia-Pacific, and view the region as crucial to US economic grow.

While in San Francisco, Biden will also attend a fundraiser for his re-election on Tuesday evening. He will also hold a bilateral meeting with Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
