First Daughter-in-Law and senior Trump campaign official Lara Trump weighed in on “one of the worst things that ever happened to Germany,” and surprise, surprise…it was not the Nazis.

On Thursday morning’s edition of Fox Business Network’s Varney & Company, host Stuart Varney and Mrs. Trump praised Donald Trump for trying to “change the asylum laws,” and decried the influx of migrants fleeing violence in Central America, all with video of those migrants playing in the background.

“When there was a march across Europe by a million people who wanted to get into Western Europe, Angela Merkel let them in,” Varney said.

“It was the downfall of Germany, it was one of the worst things that ever happened to Germany,” Trump responded. “This president knows that, he’s trying to prevent that from happening here.”

Trump, who is married to the president’s son Eric Trump, made the remark as part of a discussion about a migrant caravan that Varney said is headed toward the U.S.-Mexico border. He said that the footage of the migrants reminded him of migrants moving through Europe.

Germany accepted more than 1 million refugees in 2015 during what Merkel called “extraordinary” circumstances following major conflicts in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan.

Donald Trump went after Merkel’s immigration policies during the 2016 presidential race, at one point calling them “insane” and accusing her of “ruining Germany.” The pair have had an at-times strained relationship over other issues such as tariffs, a gas pipeline with Russia and the Iran nuclear deal.
