President Joe Biden’s campaign dragged Donald Trump for sharing a clip making reference to “the creation of a unified Reich” by getting Biden himself to make a TikTok reaction video.
Trump eventually deleted the video echoing the rhetoric of Nazi Germany amid an outraged response, with his own campaign blaming a “staffer who clearly did not see the word” for sharing it on the Republican’s Truth Social account in the first place. Biden’s TikTok shows him shaking his head as he apparently watches the offending video and then, in disbelief, asking someone out of shot: “Is this on his official account? Wow.”
“A ‘unified Reich?,’” Biden continues in the clip. “That’s [Hitler’s] language. That’s not America’s. He cares about holding on to power. I care about you.” In the TikTok version of the video, the audio dips out when Biden says “Hitler,” and the subtitles for the sentence read: “That’s H!t1er’s language,” presumably in an effort to stop the video from potentially being flagged for its content.
