After Donald Trump on Saturday urged his supporters to raise their right hand and vow to support him, drawing comparisons to a Nazi rally amid allegations by critics that a vote for him is tantamount to a vote for Hitler, the Republican front-runner says he was unaware of the comparison.

“I don’t know about the Hitler comparison, I hadn’t heard that,” Trump says. “But it’s a terrible comparison.”
