The White House strongly criticized former President Trump on Sunday for likening the Biden administration to the oppressive Gestapo police force during Nazi Germany.
Deputy press secretary Andrew Bates stated that President Biden is taking a different approach by uniting the American people based on our shared democratic values and the rule of law. Instead of endorsing the alarming rhetoric of fascists, associating with Neo-Nazis, and promoting conspiracy theories that have tragically resulted in the loss of lives of courageous police officers, President Biden’s approach has led to the most significant decrease in violent crime in half a century.
