Biden Praises 'Profound' Question Comparing Trump's Border Policies to Holocaust

Former vice president Joe Biden on Monday praised a woman at his Iowa campaign event for her "profound" question comparing President Donald Trump's immigration policies to the Holocaust.

This is a disgusting abuse of the memory of those we lost and does noting but lessen the impact of the type of true evil that the victims endured.
