Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden compared President Trump to Nazi propaganda chief Joseph Goebbels Saturday, accusing the president of lying about his record to the American people. Speaking to MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle, Biden said Trump has tried to reenforce the false notion that he is a socialist to hurt his standing with moderate swing voters, particularly in the battleground state of Florida. “I’m not sure anybody hasn’t already made up their mind they’re for Trump. But who knows. He’s sort of like Goebbels. You say the lie long enough, keep repeating it, repeating it, repeating it, it becomes common knowledge,” he said. “The other week I was too moderate, as you remember, I was too tough. And now the American people, I think they know who I am. They know my heart, they know my story, my family story. Trump is using socialism to scare and distract Floridians from a failed pandemic.” Florida, a critical battleground state in the race for the White House, is home to a large and diverse Hispanic community made up of people who have come to America from socialist dictatorships, or whose family did so along ago. The GOP is hoping to sway this demographic with messages of Democrats lurching to the left.
