President Joe Biden has sharply criticized former President Donald Trump after a video was posted on Trump's Truth Social account referencing a 'unified Reich' if Trump were to win a second term. Biden condemned the language used in the video as 'dangerous and offensive,' likening it to rhetoric from Nazi Germany during a fundraiser in Boston. The video, which was subsequently deleted, has sparked widespread backlash, with many accusing Trump of promoting Nazi and anti-Semitic sentiments. Notable figures, including Vice President Kamala Harris and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, have joined in the criticism, highlighting the potential threat to democracy and freedoms. Trump's team has denied awareness of the Nazi rhetoric in the ad, but this incident adds to a series of controversies involving Trump's use of inflammatory language. Republicans have largely remained silent on the issue, despite the growing condemnation.
