In a speech to union workers today in Philadelphia, the vice-president, Kamala Harris, said the use of the term “unified reich” in a video posted by Donald Trump was “appalling”.
“In this moment, extremists are trying to divide our nation, and we see them as they encourage xenophobia and hate,” Harris said.
“This kind of rhetoric is unsurprising coming from the former president and it is appalling. And we’ve got to tell him who we are. And once again it shows that our freedom and our very democracy are at stake.”
Joe Biden was also asked about the remark as he campaigned in New Hampshire.
