CNN GUEST SPARKS CONTROVERSY BY COMPARING TRUMP TO HITLER IN HEATED DEBATE

A fiery exchange unfolded on CNN when Democratic strategist Aisha Mills
dramatically compared former President Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler during a
debate with Republican strategist David Urban. The confrontation took place on
Erin Burnett’s show, where Mills attempted to frame Trump’s rhetoric on
immigration as a dire threat to marginalized communities, including LGBTQ+
people of color like herself.



The debate was already charged when Mills said Trump’s comments about immigrants
could lead to the execution of LGBTQ+ people of color. She used her own identity
as a black lesbian to illustrate her fears about Trump’s potential return to
power.

“As a black lesbian who Donald Trump doesn’t believe has genes as good as his,
is he going to attempt to exterminate me when he gets elected?” Mills asked,
referring to Trump’s controversial remarks about bloodlines and so-called “good
genes.” She equated Trump’s immigration rhetoric with that of Adolf Hitler,
claiming the former president wanted to purge immigrants and suggested he might
also target people like her.

Mills continued, “This isn’t the first time we’ve heard this kind of talk from
Donald Trump, and it reeks of authoritarianism. It also harkens back to a time
of Hitler.”



The comparison to Hitler immediately sparked pushback from Urban, who was
visibly taken aback by Mills’ inflammatory comments. Erin Burnett, sensing the
heated nature of the debate, stepped in to ask Urban for his perspective. She
inquired, “David, I mean, is this rhetoric, say you believe in the racehorse
theory about bloodlines?”

Urban was clearly frustrated by the comparison to Hitler. He responded
forcefully, “Listen, I’m not going to sit here and put up with this. I am a very
good guest normally, but Aisha, for you to compare Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler
on 10/7 is just shameful.”

He went on to defend Trump’s comments, arguing that Trump was specifically
referring to illegal immigrants who had been convicted of serious crimes such as
murder and rape, not immigrants as a whole. Urban tried to place Trump’s remarks
in a broader context, attempting to distance the former president from the
extreme accusations being made by Mills.

But the debate didn’t cool down from there. Mills became even more agitated,
continuing to press her point with increasingly intense rhetoric. She repeated
her earlier question about whether Trump would “exterminate” people like her,
implying that his rhetoric was not just dangerous but genocidal in nature.

“Really? Why do you believe that, Aisha? Why do you believe that?” Urban asked,
challenging Mills to explain the basis of her claims. Urban’s frustration was
clear, as he tried to counter what he saw as hyperbolic and unfounded
accusations.

Mills, however, did not back down. Instead, she doubled down on her position and
escalated the confrontation further. “Because he’s damn near said it, that’s
why, David. That’s why, OK, and I’m not gonna be lectured by some white man who
has no idea what he’s talking about and is trying to rewrite history here!” she
shouted.

Her aggressive response caught the attention of social media users, many of whom
posted video clips of the exchange online. The video quickly went viral, with
viewers on both sides of the political spectrum weighing in on the intensity of
the debate. Critics pointed to the segment as yet another example of CNN
allowing left-leaning guests to make inflammatory statements without sufficient
pushback from the hosts or network.

Supporters of Mills praised her for standing up for marginalized groups and
calling out what they see as the dangerous implications of Trump’s rhetoric.
They argued that her comparison to Hitler, while provocative, was an important
reminder of the historical dangers of dehumanizing language.

On the other hand, opponents saw Mills’ comments as irresponsible and extreme.
They criticized her for invoking Hitler in a political debate, a comparison many
felt was a gross exaggeration. Urban’s defenders argued that he was simply
trying to engage in a reasonable discussion and that Mills’ use of identity
politics and accusations of racism were a way to shut down any substantive
conversation.

As the clip circulated, it became emblematic of the wider polarization in
American political discourse. Many pointed out that comparing political figures
to Hitler has become a rhetorical tool used far too frequently in modern
debates, often undermining serious discussion. Others highlighted how identity
politics can become a barrier to meaningful dialogue when it is used to deflect
criticism or avoid addressing the substance of a debate.

The segment serves as a snapshot of the current state of political discourse on
cable news, where emotional outbursts and hyperbolic comparisons often dominate
over measured debate. The divide between left and right has grown so deep that
even basic exchanges on political shows can devolve into accusations and
personal attacks, leaving little room for common ground.

Whether Mills’ comments resonate with the public or are seen as an overreach
remains to be seen, but the debate is sure to continue as political tensions in
the country remain high.

TRANSCRIPT:

AISHA MILLS, DEMOCRATIC STRATEGIST: Listen, this isn’t the first time we’ve
heard this kind of talk from Donald Trump and it reeks of authoritarianism and
it also harkens back to a time of Hitler, who used the same exact language that
Donald Trump is now quoting to talk about the people who he thinks are poisoning
the blood of the nation.

You know all of this smells like an affinity towards eugenics which really
should give us all pause because when we remember the last person — the last
awful authoritarian dictator who believed in eugenics it was someone who really
uh wanted to exterminate an entire people because they thought that they didn’t
have good genes, and because they were trying to create a certain type of race.
Donald Trump has himself said that his parents, his father raised him to believe
that they were superior to others because they had good genes.

Now, what does that mean? The way he’s talking about it is he wants to purge the
immigrants, right? He wants to get rid of all of the immigrants and has said
that he would do some pretty nasty harmful things to them because they don’t
have good genes.

I don’t think that this is just rhetoric. I think that we need to take this —

DAVID URBAN, CNN SENIOR POLITICAL COMMENTATOR: Oh, come on.

MILLS: — seriously and understand where his inspiration comes from. And today of
all days, it is just really savage that this is who he’s quoting and that he’s
quoting Hitler.

URBAN: Come on, Erin, I don’t want to swear —

BURNETT: David, I mean is this rhetoric, say you believe in the racehorse theory
about bloodlines?

URBAN: Listen, I’m not going to sit here and put up with this. I am a very good
guest normally but, Aisha, for you to compare Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler on
10/7 is just shameful.

Number one, he was talking about murderers, people who came into this country
and murdered Americans, okay? So let’s not try to string together a bunch of
quotes that weren’t put together there, different points in time to try to make
it look like something he didn’t say.

He was talking about 26,000 people, rapists and murderers in this country, and
he said in my opinion and it’s not just Donald Trump’s opinion, there are
scientific studies out there about nature or nurture about murderers, whether
they have some sort of genetic predisposition to murder people and he’s talking
about the people who murdered Americans, not eugenics not some made BS, Aisha.
So, listen, I’m sorry that Donald Trump feels like standing up for people who
may have been murdered by immigrants and want to deport illegal immigrants who
are here — criminal, violent, aliens — and want to kick them out of our country
to protect Americans, but that’s okay in my case.

He’s not talking about eugenics. He’s not — to compare him with Adolf Hitler
today, I find it particularly offensive.

MILLS: Listen, we can fact-check this all — all day long.

URBAN: So just stop, so just stop.

MILLS: David’s hot — David’s hot air is not going to rewrite the history of the
words that Donald Trump himself has used. This is fact.

URBAN: Aisha, read the words he used today.

MILLS: He has long talked about genetics. Well, I’m talking about the history of
everything he’s ever said. So you can have short-term memory, David, for the
sake of going into an election and like doing Donald Trump’s bidding, but this
as an American —

URBAN: Aisha, let’s talk about Kamala Harris’s short-term memory.

MILLS: — makes me really concerned. As a Black lesbian who Donald Trump doesn’t
believe has genes as good as his, is he going to attempt to exterminate me when
he gets elected?

URBAN: Really? Why do you believe that, Aisha? Why do you believe that?

MILLS: Because he’s damn near said it, that’s why, David. That’s why. Okay, and
I’m not going to be lectured by some white man who has no idea what he’s talking
about, and is trying to rewrite history here.

URBAN: Aisha, shame on you, Aisha. Erin —

MILLS: I am afraid, as an American, of a Donald Trump presidency and his actual
quotes on why —

URBAN: Shame on you, Aisha.

MILLS: — because I take him seriously, and I think that he believes what he says
and that is why he is a danger and a threat to America.
