Al Gore likens the Trump administration's 'attacks on liberty' to Nazi Germany
Former Vice President Al Gore rebuked the Trump administration in remarks at a climate crisis conference Monday night, comparing its "ongoing attacks on liberty" to Nazi Germany.
In his comments at the San Francisco Climate Week conference, Gore argued that the Trump administration's "scale and scope of the ongoing attacks on liberty are literally unprecedented."
"With that in mind, I want to note that before I use what is not a precedent, I understand very well why it is wrong to compare Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich to any other movement — it was uniquely evil, full stop. I get it, but there are important lessons from the history of that emergent evil," Gore said.
The former vice president, who has devoted his post-White House life to shining a light on climate change, said that immediately after World War II, a small group of philosophers who had escaped the Nazi Reich returned to Germany where they "performed a kind of moral autopsy" on the former regime.
