Former President Donald Trump’s political operation is firing back after a Democratic Mayor said the Republican presidential nominee would set up “concentration camps” if elected, saying rhetoric like hers was what led to the attempts on Trump’s life earlier this year.
“This is not only unequivocally false but the same type of dangerous rhetoric that led to two assassination attempts … and has divided our country,” said spokesperson Karoline Leavitt, as first reported by Ben Becker Thursday morning.
“This no-name Mayor should resign in disgrace over this egregious comment,” Leavitt added.
During an interview with Times Radio in London, Deegan said Trump would put “people in what would really amount to a concentration camp-type situation to round them out of the country.”
Deegan didn’t back down when the host accused her of using loaded language.
“What would we call them? If you’re rounding people up and putting them in camps?” Deegan responded. “What would we call those? It’s a concentration of people that are in a camp. I’m not suggesting anything beyond that, but I just think it seems rather inhumane to me.”
She went on to double down on the Trump denunciation, saying “human rights abuses” would be “inevitable.”
“When you flat out call a group of human beings animals and say they are poisoning the blood of our country, then promise to round them up in detention camps, what would lead anyone to believe that they would be treated humanely?”
The Mayor is on an extended junket in the United Kingdom, where she is cultivating business relationships and cheering on the Jaguars. They are 1-5 this year but celebrating a taxpayer-funded stadium deal approved by owners unanimously earlier this week.

Good Morn ‘Ting Duvall County,
I used to look the other way when Donna spewed out her leftist screed due to the fact that she is a HOT MlLF, and THE BENELOVANT “E” likes HOT MlLF’s….A LOT.
HOWEVER:
It’s gone too far, Duvall County, as Donna stepped out on the rocky slope of blastphiming “The Sage President Trump”.
THEREFORE:
Your girl, Donna, is hereby CHASTIZED.
Thank you Duvall County,
THE BENELOVANT “E”

She isn’t wrong. We have seen all of this before. Trump is NOT what this country needs.

I’m not a partisan. NPA. However, having listened to the former President speak it is clear that he has promised “mass deportations” and overall the Mayor’s comments are a fair comment on the situation. For the Tramp campaign to demand her resignation based upon some perceived threat is just BS. After all, in America citizens have the freedom to make comments such as the Mayor has. Of course, Tramp has also promised to use the military to suppress the “enemy within” who he describes as “the radical left ” and cites Pelosi and Shiff as examples. Anyone who supports Tramp is anti- American whether they know it or not. Vote against the GOP!!!

Well, there have been all sorts of euphemism’s used over the past 100 years to describe the dehumanizing and vilification campaigns against a group of people – and the subsequent rounding up and herding of humans into encampments. If elected, I’m sure that Trump might follow the autocratic playbook to come up with some Orwellian term to hide the truth, as he often does. I’m sure Stephen Miller – of family separations infamy – has already picked out a catchy name.

Dumb Donna and shame on the people of Jacksonville for electing this idiot. So Dumb Donna thinks Trump will build concentration camps? Of course this is liberal BS but how about Trump ship them all to her town?

The way DJT explains it, insofar as he can speak logically, local sheriffs and police will round up suspects and lock them up locally until Washington arranges their deportations — no doubt with a minimum of due process.
This is analogous to how DJT’s boy Dee is trying to deal with the homeless: Throw the burden on locals without committing any state money or resources.
It won’t be long before someone has to wipe Trump’s arse.

If anyone should be having their azz wiped by someone else it is Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi

But you’re okay with local law enforcement bearing the burden of rounding up asylum seekers.

The Mayor is calling it like it is. Trump wants to round up people and put them into camps. We have a term for that. We saw it in Europe, we saw it in Serbia, and we must never let it happen in America. Kudos to the Mayor for saying what needs to be said.

An old term from decades before Nazis.

Most folks don’t know about the Boer War although they should be familiar with the “reservations” apportioned by the Great White Father in DC.

Using the Jewish Holocaust experience for talking points desensitizes what happened! There is no comparison! This is disgusting!!
My Take

Early 20th Century Armenians and Ukrainians (kulaks) might lay some claim to “holocaust.”

Trump never learns that words have meaning and the Mayors response was proper & his was not. A true Nazis at heart…..
My Opinion

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the comment made by Mayor Donna Deegan to my opinion!!!! The mayor’s question “What else would you call it” was never answered. Why?

As if Trump’s own rhetoric doesn’t contribute to his demise. Once again the lack of responsibility the GOP endorses proves its not my father’s republican party, that ended years ago. If he tells his supporters at rallies to “punch them in the face” what makes anyone think he would care what happens to detained immigrants. A convicted felon, prosecuted sex offender who tries to convince us every undocumented immigrant is a serious, deadly criminal, posioning the blood of America, then stops the toughest bipartsian border bill ever sent to the floor..I have no doubt he would tolerate inhumane treatment of detainees. He is a cancer to our Democracy.
