'Kill Trump' chorus takes sinister new twist
ACLU: 'This is Goebbels. This is the final solution'
A board member of the American Civil Liberties Union's chapter in Colorado said on his Facebook page all Donald Trump supporters ought to be shot before they can cast their ballots for the front-runner candidate.
Loring Wirbel, who also serves as co-chair of the ACLU's Colorado Springs chapter, first compared Trump to Joseph Goebbels, the German politico who served as the minister of propaganda – and as one of Adolf Hitler's key henchmen – during the Nazi reign. He then called for the killing or injuring by gunfire of Trump supporters.
"The thing is," he wrote on Facebook, as reported by the Daily Caller, "we have to really reach out to those who might consider voting for Trump and say, 'This is Goebbels. This is the final solution. If you are voting for him I will have to shoot you before election day.'"
Goebbels was a chief creator of the Nazi Party's "Final Solution," the plan of extermination of the Jewish people.
Wirbel went on: "They're not going to listen to reason, so when justice is gone, there's always force, as Laurie would say."
