George Conway Claims ‘Sociopath’ Trump Channels Hitler’s Mein Kampf to Sell Lies: ‘I Don’t Speak German, So Forgive My Pronunciation’

 

George Conway equated former President Donald Trump’s political tactics to those of former German dictator Adolf Hitler on Friday night during an interview with MSNBC’s Alex Wagner.

Conway said Trump’s Friday visits to hurricane-ravaged parts of Georgia and North Carolina were a way to sell lies to voters in the same way Hitler did in his prison-written memoir Mein Kampf – before he seized power of Germany and started World War II.

Wagner noted there had been misinformation spread about the federal government’s response to Hurricane Helene – some by Trump regarding FEMA funding being unavailable to American citizens. She pressed Conway for his thoughts on the matter.

She asked, “You’re a student of Trump’s strange psyche, what does the clearly confessional nature of these accusations tell you about, I don’t know, where his head is at right now?”

Conway replied, “Well, I mean, you’re absolutely right. It’s a form of projection. He attributes to others motives that he himself has. But it’s more than that.” Conway continued:

The words that came to mind when I read about this controversy today is the große Lüge. That’s German. I don’t speak German, so forgive my pronunciation. But große Lüge is “big lie.” It means “big lie.” It was a phrase coined by Adolf Hitler in Mein Kampf in 1925 for a propaganda technique by which you tell as big a lie as possible so that people will believe bigger lies. They will believe bigger lies more than they believe smaller lies because they simply think that it’s impossible for anybody to have the temerity to tell such an amazingly large lie. But Donald Trump does that as a matter of course. He’s a pathological liar and a sociopath.

Conway concluded Trump to be a “cancer on American public life that must be removed, once and for all.”
