MSNBC’s McCaffrey: Trump ‘Was Edging Towards a Coup’ Like 1930s Nazis

Pam Key 15 Jul 2021

MSNBC military analyst Barry McCaffrey said Thursday on “Deadline” that while still in office, former President Donald Trump “was edging towards a coup” with strong parallels to the Nazis in 1930s Germany.

Discussing recent books about Trump’s final days, anchor Nicolle Wallace, “Shocking to read that the ex-president had an affinity for Hitler, in some ways just as stunning to see the top military commander saw his supporters and the threat they pose as a very clear parallel to the threat posed by Nazis.”

McCaffrey said, “We ought to be always cautious about the Nazi comparison. You know Nazis destroyed all of Europe…They killed 40 million people. On the other hand, the Nazi experience in the 1930s is worth looking at and seeing parallels to Trump’s basically criminal behavior, ignoring the rule of law. He was actually talking about shooting people, the armed forces, protesters.”

He added, “You know Nazi Germany in the 1930s was one of the most civilized countries on the face of the earth, the most advanced in science, committed to democracy and the rule of law and look at what happened. I think the alarm that Mark Milley and other military leaders, and indeed all of us in public life, we all saw what was happening. Most of this is not a surprise to us. This fella did not buy into the Constitution of the United States. He was edging towards a coup.”

Irresponsible doesn’t begin to describe this idiot’s commentary. I guess it’s so commonplace no one in a position to be heard will call it that.

These clowns are so woefully ignorant of history.

They've tried everything else...calling him a Nazi/Hitler is their latest attempt to bring him down.

Dunno know where they’ll go after this doesn’t have the intended effect.

No, he wasn't.

The lies about President Trump just continue to grow more and more outrageous.

The only parallels I see are between Joseph Goebbels and people like McCaffrey spewing lies.

More ignorant hyperbole from a 'state approved' orifice. Hitler did many vile and heinous things but I don't think you can say he took power in Germany through a coup, he was elected by a despondent people and neither Trump or his followers attempted a coup. As a matter of fact, the only ones using military force were democrats against Americans

Gaslighting and projecting are all the left does anymore.

"This fella did not buy into the Constitution of the United States."

“If the personal freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution inhibit the government's ability to govern the people, we should look to limit those guarantees.”

the ONLY coup attempt was by Obama/Biden/Clinton to take out Trump when he was elected.  All should be indicted, convicted and dispatched.  Trump doing a coup his last days as POTUS is laughable.  I hope he sues these media turds!!!!
