Former Vice President Al Gore took aim at the Trump administration, comparing its actions to that of Nazi Germany and suggesting President Donald Trump is a “threat” to the Constitution.
The Democratic Party’s 2000 presidential nominee made the remarks at an event in San Francisco to mark the start of Climate Week.
Gore said the Trump administration is attempting to “create their own preferred version of reality” in line with Adolf Hitler’s leadership of Germany in the 1930s and 1940s.
“I understand very well why it is wrong to compare Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich to any other movement,” Gore said, according to the news outlet Politico.
“It was uniquely evil, full stop. I get it. But there are important lessons from the history of that emergent evil.”
Gore added that “populist authoritarian leaders” used migrants as scapegoats to get into power.
Trump’s promise to end illegal migration in the U.S. was a central part of his 2024 presidential reelection campaign—and was what many voters elected him for.
“And power-seeking is what this is all about,” Gore said.
“Our Constitution, written by our founders, is intended to protect us against a threat identical to Donald Trump.”
Gore isn’t the only one who compares the Trump administration to Nazis.
As we reported earlier this month, Democratic strategist James Carville claimed that anyone cooperating with the Trump administration is akin to Nazi collaborators during World War II.
Carville said:
“How disgraced must these law firms feel now? How disgraced must these companies that are sucking up to him – that are giving him tens of millions of dollars for access.
Do you know what’s going to happen? Do you know how this ends? Do you know these collaborators, what the country is going to feel towards collaborators with this regime?
Maybe you need to go in history and see what happened in August of 1944 after Paris was liberated. They didn’t take very kindly to the collaborators. No. It was not a very pretty sight in the streets of Paris.”
