Rep. Jasmine Crockett: Trump Is Running the Wannabe Hitler Playbook - ABC News State of the Union
On CNN, Rep. Jasmine Crockett broke it all down — from Trump’s DOJ ignoring bags of cash to Republicans honoring Charlie Kirk despite his hateful rhetoric. Crockett explained why she refused to stand behind Kirk, whose words targeted people of color, and why elevating him as a “new age relic” dishonors the civil rights struggle.
Then she turned to the heart of the matter: Donald Trump’s dangerous rise. Rep. Crockett called Trump exactly what he is — a wannabe Hitler. From chilling free speech to cozying up to dictators, from pardoning insurrectionists to normalizing political violence, Trump’s playbook is ripped straight from history’s darkest chapters.
Rep. Crockett made clear: naming white supremacy is not incitement, it’s accountability. America cannot afford selective amnesia about our past — because democracy depends on confronting the truth before it’s too late. - Aired on 09/21/2025.
