The former vice president made the comparison during an event Monday to kick off San Francisco's Climate Week.
Former Vice President Al Gore is comparing Donald Trump’s administration to Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Party of the 1930s, an analogy that has become increasingly common during Trump’s second presidency.
The environmentalist Democrat argued at an event for San Francisco’s Climate Week that Republicans are “trying to create their own preferred version of reality” by blaming immigrants for global issues — just like the ultra-nationalist, xenophobic aggressors of World War II.
“I understand very well why it is wrong to compare Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich to any other movement,” Gore said onstage Monday, Politico reported. “It was uniquely evil, full stop. I get it. But there are important lessons from the history of that emergent evil.”
