Batya Ungar-Sargon: Larry David’s Hitler Essay Is Calling Working Class Americans Who Voted for Trump, ‘Nazis’

PHILLIP: “That‘s what you said a couple days ago, Dan.”
ABRAMS: “Exactly.”
PHILLIP: “Yeah, that just using the comparison, you lose people. You know, Batya, I want your take on how that comes across to you, as you are Jewish and a Trump supporter at that. But what‘s your take?”
UNGAR-SARGON: “And a person who half my family was murdered by the actual Hitler. You know, in addition to it being deeply offensive to Jews, to call Trump Hitler is to call over 80 million Americans, 35% of Jewish Americans, 56% of Hispanic men, and the majority of Americans who make under $100,000 a year Nazis, because those are the people who gave Donald Trump his victory. And I just have a pro tip for any Democrats who are thinking about winning back the working class, those people who make under $100,000 a year, who a majority of whom voted for Trump. You should have a visceral disgust for someone like Larry David, who‘s worth $400 million, sitting there and sneering and smearing the hardest-working Americans for refusing to cosign their own disinheritance. That‘s effectively what they are doing when these millionaires come out here and call Trump Hitler. They are calling working-class Americans Nazis because they chose the person they thought would give their children back the future they were promised by this country. And it just has to stop. And you know what? Honestly, I don‘t care if the Democrats get this or don‘t, but they should get this because this is a big part of why they have lost, because they are — they have these rich people. He is so wealthy. I mean, how dare they?”
PHILLIP: “I mean, they‘re all wealthy.”
