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.

UK Citizens Petitions Parliament To Bar Donald Trump From Country

Over 200,000 UK citizens have petitioned Parliament asking MPs to debate barring Republican White House hopeful Donald Trump from entering their country over his proposed policy of barring Muslims from the United States:

A petition calling for Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump to be barred from entering UK has gathered more than 200,000 names, so MPs will have to consider debating the issue.

The petition went on Parliament’s e-petition website on Tuesday. It was posted in response to Mr Trump’s call for a temporary halt on Muslims entering the United States.

Chancellor George Osborne criticised Mr Trump’s comments but rejected calls for him to be banned from the UK. Any petition with more than 100,000 signatures is automatically considered for debate in Parliament.

But remember – if he’s elected president (oh my sides…) we’ll be “respected” around the world.

Riiiiiight.

White House: Donald Trump’s Toxic Rhetoric Is Disqualifying

From Bloomberg Business:

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest addressed Donald Trump’s proposal on temporarily banning Muslims from entering the U.S. at a news conference on Tuesday.

He said Trump’s rhetoric is toxic and offensive, calling out Republican presidential candidates for not condemning the billionaire.

“What he said is disqualifying and any Republican who’s too fearful of the Republican base to admit it has no business serving as president either,” the press secretary said.
