Not a single offer.

Is this what leadership looks like? Abandoning the American people when they call for help?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History... - Hitler's Nazi Party was not only NOT socialist, they were entirely Anti-socialist. So, do not let ignoramuses tell you that socialism was ever connected to fascism. The German Democratic Socialist Party was anti-fascist! Know the factual reality of history!
