Donald Trump may have tried to scrub his campaign’s much-maligned promotion of a video citing a “unified Reich” from history, but CNN’s Jim Acosta wouldn’t let the campaign ad go so quietly.
In opening CNN Newsroom on Wednesday, Acosta noted the campaign’s short-lived share of a video promising a “unified Reich” should Trump win. (The ad was posted on Trump’s Truth Social account during a bathroom break in his hush-money trial on Monday, remaining on the account for 15 hours before it was taken down on Tuesday.)
Acosta said the term, historically linked to Nazi Germany, was part of Trump’s yearslong “flirtation” with Nazism and went through a laundry list of his past associations with white nationalists and past praise of Adolf Hitler.
