‘Daily Show’ Hits Trump With Incredibly Awkward Reminder About His Own Running Mate

“The Daily Show” correspondent Ronny Chieng on Tuesday said Donald Trump has been fighting back against comparisons to Adolf Hitler.
“I’m not a Nazi! I’m the opposite of a Nazi!” Trump said. His running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), has also pushed back on accusations that Trump is Hitler.
“This is an interesting debate,” Chieng said. “Because Kamala [Harris] has actually never called Trump Hitler.”
Then he offered the former president an awkward reminder.
“JD Vance did, though,” Chieng pointed out.
Vance in 2016 told a friend in a private message that he wasn’t sure if Trump was “a cynical asshole like Nixon” or if he could be “America’s Hitler.”
