Conservative attorney George Conway, a long-time critic of Donald Trump, has made a striking comparison between the former president and Adolf Hitler following a recent false claim by Trump. Conway’s remarks came after Trump accused Vice President Kamala Harris of using artificial intelligence to inflate crowd numbers at a recent rally.
On Sunday, Trump alleged that Harris’s campaign had exaggerated the size of the crowd at her rally near Detroit, claiming that “there was nobody there” despite media reports indicating an attendance of around 15,000 people. The event, which was covered by local news outlet MLive, was reported to have drawn a substantial number of supporters.
In response to Trump’s unfounded accusation, Conway took to MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Monday, where he criticized Trump’s behavior and likened it to Hitler’s actions in his final days. Conway described Trump as a “narcissistic sociopath” and “pathological narcissist,” traits he believes align with those of authoritarian dictators throughout history.
Conway drew a parallel between Trump’s current state and Hitler’s last days in the Führerbunker during World War II. “It’s like Hitler moving around divisions that didn’t exist in the last 10 days of the war,” Conway said, describing Trump’s recent behavior as delusional and indicative of a broader implosion. He argued that Trump’s actions reflect a desperate and chaotic response to mounting pressures.
In his MSNBC appearance, Conway also suggested that Trump’s current troubles are not just about his presidential bid but also about his personal freedom. “He realizes he’s under more pressure than ever because he’s not just running for the presidency, he’s running for his freedom,” Conway added.
This latest outburst from Conway follows the recent launch of his new political action committee, the Anti-Psychopath PAC. The PAC has been active in its criticism of Trump, including placing anti-Trump billboards around Milwaukee during last month’s Republican National Convention, which highlighted that the GOP was nominating a “convicted felon.”
Conway’s remarks and the actions of his PAC reflect ongoing tensions and debates surrounding Trump’s candidacy and behavior as he campaigns for the 2024 presidential election. The former president’s controversial statements and actions continue to draw sharp criticism from various quarters, further intensifying the political discourse leading up to the election.
