North Carolina’s Democrat Attorney General Josh Stein, who is running for governor, refuses to say whether he agrees with President Joe Biden that supporters of former President Donald Trump are “garbage,” or with Kamala Harris’ campaign that they are Nazis.

Neither Stein’s campaign nor his official attorney general office would respond to multiple requests for comment from The Federalist asking if he agreed with his party’s leaders that millions of Americans — roughly half the country — are inhuman and akin to “the most evil mass murderers in history” (the words Trump used to describe Harris’ attacks on him and his supporters).

The North Carolina Democrat’s refusal to distance himself from Biden’s and Harris’ invective stands in stark contrast to other Democrats running statewide campaigns in swing states who have stood in opposition to the people their party has chosen to represent the American people.

Stein campaigned with Harris today in Raleigh, thanking her for coming out to the state where half the voters, in her mind, are Nazis and fascists.

It is unclear if Stein agrees, and he has not commented on his party’s divisive and dangerous messaging.

Just yesterday, Biden went on CNN to make a closing argument for Harris just days before the election, calling millions whom he still represents as president “garbage.”

“The only garbage I see floating out there is [Trump’s] supporters,” Biden said.

While the White House attempted to walk back the statement and even released a bogus “transcript” selectively punctuated to make it appear that Biden had not labeled Trump supporters “garbage,” video of Biden’s statement quickly renders these narratives unbelievable.

Even Harris was forced to attempt to distance herself from Biden calling their constituents “garbage,” giving a mealy-mouthed defense of Biden saying he “clarified his comments,” but that she “strongly disagree[s] with any criticism of people based on who they vote for.” She further said that the work she does is “about representing all the people whether they support me or not.”

Harris’ response is ironic though, because Biden’s “garbage” comments come after the Harris campaign’s own closing arguments saying, with the help of a corporate media information op, that Trump and his supporters are Nazis and that Trump himself is a fascist.

Just last week, Harris directly tied Adolf Hitler to Trump using debunked information to imply that Trump would murder millions and go after judges, journalists, and election officials as president.

“It is deeply troubling and incredibly dangerous that Donald Trump would invoke Adolf Hitler, the man who is responsible for the deaths of 6 million Jews and hundreds of thousands of Americans,” Harris said. “All of this is further evidence for the American people of who Donald Trump really is. This is a window into who Donald Trump really is, from the people who know him best, from the people who worked with him side by side in the Oval Office and in the Situation Room.”

Harris’ running mate, Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minn., likened a completely peaceful Trump rally at Madison Square Garden to a Nazi rally held there in the 1930s.

“Donald Trump’s got this big rally going at Madison Square Garden. There’s a direct parallel to a big rally that happened in the mid-1930s at Madison Square Garden,” Walz said. “And don’t think that he doesn’t know for one second exactly what they’re doing there.”

Walz’s statement not only likens Trump to a Nazi leader, but every attendee to supporters of Nazis. Walz’s words also echo the sentiments of 2016 failed Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton (whose husband, former President Bill Clinton, the Harris campaign has trotted out to rallies), who said that Trump and his supporters were “reenacting the Madison Square Garden rally in 1939.”

The left-wing media, dedicated to election interference on behalf of the Harris campaign, lent its voice to the Nazi rally smears as well, with MSNBC actually airing footage of the 1939 rally during its coverage of the Trump rally. Axios did its part, too, saying that while the two rallies were different, they were actually very similar.

Harris has not walked back her campaign’s own dangerous rhetoric or condemned her friends in the media for their Nazi comparison.

“While I am running a campaign of positive solutions to save America, Kamala Harris is running a campaign of hate.” Trump posted on social media. “She has spent all week comparing her political opponents to the most evil mass murderers in history. Now, on top of everything, Joe Biden calls our supporters ‘garbage.’ You can’t lead America if you don’t love the American People. Kamala Harris and Joe Biden have shown they are both unfit to be President of the United States.”

“I am proud to lead the biggest, broadest, and most important political coalition in American history,” he continued. “We are welcoming historic numbers of Latinos, African Americans, Asian Americans, and citizens of every race, religion, color, and creed. It is my desire to be the President of all the people.”

As The Federalist reported, the Harris campaign does not appear to be doing well in North Carolina, as the campaign has pulled millions of dollars in ads out of the state as Harris drops in the polls and Republicans swamp Democrats in early voting.

Some speculate the Harris campaign is turning its focus to neighboring Virginia in the home stretch. Virginia has been a Democrat stronghold statewide for years until the election of Gov. Glenn Youngkin, R-Va., in 2021, and the state has voted for a Democrat presidential candidate in every election since 2004.

Stein, however, is leading his opponent Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, R-N.C., by a significant margin after scandals rocked Robinson’s campaign.
