An apparent Donald Trump supporter was caught on camera shouting “Go to Auschwitz” at protesters outside the Republican presidential candidate’ rally in Cleveland over the weekend.
Donald Peterson, Birgitt’s husband, said they got one call from a man in IN who applauded his wife for casting Trump supporters in a negative light, as if she were a plant from an opposing campaign trying to make Trump look bad.
According to Peterson, when the rally was canceled she and her husband found themselves surrounded by Anti-Trump protesters, one of whom held a poster with Adolf Hitler’s photo on it. Since she was born in West Berlin in 1946, Peterson chose to give the protester a history lesson.
Even Donald Trump himself has been accused of tacitly condoning fascism following his re-tweet of a quote by Hitler’s ally Benito Mussolini.
“So Birgitt made a decision to teach them to do it, ” said Donald Peterson, who insisted they were “not Nazis” and absolutely not supporters or “saluting” Adolf Hitler.
“The Republican Party needs to be broken up, and I believe Donald Trump is the one to do it”, Peterson told the New York Times.
“I went up to her and said, ‘Ma’am, please leave, we have understood you, we have made a (path),'” Garza recalled.

Peterson said she told them: “Girlfriend, don’t do this”. “If you want to do it right, you do it right”.
Peterson said she responded: “You should know that I haven’t voted for anybody because the primary is not until Tuesday”.
It was then that she gestured in a Nazi salute. “Do you know who Hitler really was?'”
“I am the man on the left, and she openly Hailed Hitler”.
This woman is a human being and although I don’t share her views, I start yelling “I will respect my elders”.

“We are at a point in America where those people, Trump supporters, make me sad”, Garza wrote in a Facebook post. “Back in my day, you know what we did”.
