Donald Trump spox calls on ‘no-name’ Mayor Donna Deegan to step down over concentration camp comments

Deegan Times Radio
'Resign in disgrace.'

Former President Donald Trump’s political operation is firing back after a Democratic Mayor said he would set up concentration camps if President, 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 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, she 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.

    I essentially make about $9,000-$13,000 every month on the web. It’s sufficient to serenely supplant my old employments pay, particularly considering I just work around 10-13 hours every week from home. I was stunned how simple it was after I attempted it duplicate underneath web…..

    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.
