Trump gets a lot attention for oddities at Madison Square Garden rallythose who criticize him compared with a disgrace Before the 1939 American Nazi rally had even begun.

In response to the uproar, Trump felt compelled to tell the crowd at the rally in Georgia: “I’m not a Nazi! I’m the opposite of a Nazi!

on tuesday oppression related to CNN This MorningA clearly amused Hunt introduced the clip by sarcastically stating that he “felt the need” to declare that Trump was not a Nazi, then laughed as he brought it up to his panel:

KASIE HUNT: Maybe that’s why, with Election Day just a week away and polls continuing to show the race deadlocked, the former president felt the need to say this.

DONALD TRUMP: They use that word freely. Both words. First they say he is Hitler, then they say he is a Nazi. I’m not a Nazi! I’m the opposite of a Nazi! I don’t know.

KASIE HUNT: Joining us now to discuss is Alex Thompson, CNN political analyst, national political correspondent for Axios, Phillipe Reines, former advisor to Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign. And Trump’s former White House communications adviser, Mike Dubuque.

Welcome all. One Week Until Election Day, who wants to take on the Nazi issue? (Laughs)

PHILLIPPE REINES: Should I do this at (inaudible)?

(Laughter)

ALEX THOMPSON: Is this a trick question?

PHILLIPPE REINES: I don’t know what the opposite of a Nazi is. But you know what? Look, Mike and I planned these types of events. You covered such events. That’s what you want if you put it in a space like this.

It’s not like they suddenly come across an old cemetery. You choose the place knowing its history. You choose people speaking by knowing what they’ve said in their past. You give them the open mic and then you’re like, “Oh my God, I can’t believe they said that.” I don’t agree with this joke.

Whether it’s a joke or not, whether they know it’s on the teleprompter or not isn’t really the issue. If you have an open mic and you invite Eddie Murphy and all of a sudden the swearing starts, you’re like, “Oh my God, how did that happen?” You can’t say.

(Laughter).

So what is the purpose of this? What is the purpose of this? That’s not what they should be discussing.

And it’s not just about what they call the liberal media. That’s what’s being discussed on Fox and on the right. That’s one week left. Thank God, there’s only one week left. You don’t want this. This is not a closing argument. He can say whatever he wants later. It’s not important. It wasn’t worth it. It wasn’t worth the risk.

MIKE DUBKE: Okay. To continue.

ALEX THOMPSON: I was just going to say: Is this intentional on your part to try to lump together the ugly parts of the base, or is this just a result of sloppiness and arrogance on Trump’s part? offer.

PHILLIPPE REINES: Isn’t there any other way to get this part of the base together?
