Agenda Project Launches Nazi-Themed Ad Against Donald Trump

In response to the exceedingly extreme racist and racist rhetoric coming out of some current GOP presidential candidates – Donald Trump in particular for his comments calling for a ban on Muslims entering the U.S. – the Agenda Project has started the launch of an ongoing “Anti-Fascism” campaign, aimed at exposing this type of language as that of fear mongering, bigoted fascists that America should fear if we have learned anything from 1930’s Germany.

“We have to ask ourselves: what kind of country do we want to be? One that stands up to hatred and lives up to the principles enshrined in the Constitution and inscribed on the Statue of Liberty or one that rules by fear and subjugation of individuals we deem different,” said Erik Altieri, president of the Agenda Project, “We must unite against this bigotry or we risk losing everything we represent as a nation.”

The spot uses imagery from WWII Germany inter spliced with interview comments by Trump.
