Top Republican lawmakers are dismissing questions about former President Donald Trump’s recent vow to “root out” his political opponents, whom he referred to as “vermin” in a Veterans’ Day message.
While some critics have compared Trump’s language to that of 1930s-era fascism, Republican senators like Lindsey Graham and Marco Rubio have deflected by referring to past comments made by Democrats, such as Hillary Clinton’s reference to Trump supporters as “deplorables” in 2016.
