Trump Compares Rioters To Japanese Interned In WWII

The Associated Press reports:

Former President Donald Trump on Friday compared the people jailed on charges that they stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, to the more than 120,000 people of Japanese origin incarcerated on U.S. soil during World War II.

“Why are they still being held? Nobody’s ever been treated like this,” he said in an interview with conservative commentator Dan Bongino. “Maybe the Japanese during Second World War, frankly. They were held, too.”

A 1983 congressional commission concluded the detentions were a result of “racial prejudice, war hysteria and failure of political leadership,” and the U.S. government formally apologized and paid $20,000 in reparations to each victim five years later.
