Expert alarmed as Trump now taking a page from ISIS: 'Never seen anything like this'
A propaganda expert called out President Donald Trump's administration for "taking a page from ISIS" in social media campaigns boosting its immigration operations.
Robert Page, a professor of political science at the University of Chicago, joined CNN's Jake Tapper on "The Lead" to dissect some recent social media posts from Trump's Department of Homeland Security, some of which seem to directly reference white nationalist and Nazi propaganda. Behind the overt references to those ideologies, Page added, there is an "even more disturbing" theme that ties them together.
"I spent years working with the FBI on ISIS and I have never seen anything like this coming from an official government organization," Page said, adding that the images depict a "heroic fight" by immigration agents against liberals and immigrants.
