Paul Manafort, a top aide to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, said Sunday that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) was scaring delegates with “gestapo tactics.”
Manafort alleged on NBC News’ “Meet the Press” that Cruz was threatening delegates for their votes.
“Well, he’s threatening, you go to these county conventions, and you see the tactics, Gestapo tactics, the scorched-earth tactics —” Manafort said, before he was interrupted.
“Gestapo tactics? That’s a strong word,” host Chuck Todd said.
“Well, you look at, we’re going to be filing several protests because reality is, you know, they are not playing by the rules. But frankly, that’s the side game,” Manafort replied. “Because the only game I’m focusing on right now is getting delegates.”
Wow - the disconnect is stunning … this comment coming from the same Trump organization that is threatening non-Trump delegates to the Republican Convention, saying they will release the names and hotel room numbers? I think that Cruz and Trump are locked in a contest to see who can best emulate the “best” of the Nazi regime.
will we be seeing families taken hostage soon? meathooks? hammer to the feet?
Those who make Nazi comparisons usually have not the remotest idea of what Naziism really was.
And you know who else made Nazi comparisons without the remotest idea of what Nazism actually was? Yeah, that’s right . . . um.
Okay, yeah, it doesn’t really work this time.
