Kamala Harris agrees with Charlamagne that Trump’s vision for America is “Fascism”
Vice president Kamala Harris finished chopping words Donald Trump. One day after calling the former president and GOP presidential candidate “unstable and unstable,” Harris told a popular radio host that Trump’s vision for the county’s future was, in fact, “fascist.”
The comments represent an escalation for Harris, who has criticized Trump’s increasingly authoritarian tendencies — but never in such clear terms. They come in time a third exchange with the radio host Charlamagne Forgive Godwho pressed Harris to explain the difference between her vision for the country and her opponent’s.
“The other one is about fascism,” Charlamagne said, referring to the Trump issue. “Why can’t we say that?”
“Yes, we can say that,” Harris confirmed, before going on to answer an unrelated question about her relationship with the Black church. However, she returned to the subject later in the interview, telling listeners that Trump’s plan would “destroy our democracy” and chiding the former president for seeking “adulation.” flattery and favor” of the Russian president. Vladimir Putin.
“This man is really quite weak. He was weak,” Harris said. “It’s a sign of weakness when you want to please dictators.”
Harris’ comments come amid a series of new revelations about Trump’s ties to foreign dictators—and his own growing threats to his political opponents . IN numerous interviews and appearances over the past weekTrump has described his critics as dangerous, “evil” enemies who threaten democracy and suggested that the military or the National Guard could necessary to “deal with” them after the election. On Tuesday, he kept dodging requests pledged to peacefully transfer power if he lost the election and criticized the journalist who asked him about it.
In the same interview, Trump also declined to say whether he had spoken privately with Putin since leaving the White House, although he added that it would be “smart” to do so. According to the journalist’s new book Bob WoodwardTrump talk to Putin up to seven times since he left the country and while he was in office, Covid-19 tests were secretly sent to him for personal use. On October 12, it was also revealed that Mark MilleyChairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under Trump, Call his old boss According to Woodward, “a fascist to the core” and “the most dangerous man to this country.”
For his part, Trump has repeatedly called Harris and the Democratic Party fascists — a criticism that may seem relevant to his supporters, but is not. Technically job. (Fascism, by definition, is a populist, supranational political philosophy, led by a dictator—which Trump freely admitted he will only be available on “day 1.”)
On Wednesday night, Trump’s official campaign tweeted that Harris’s comments were “disgusting” and claimed that her form of rhetoric “led to two assassination attempts on President Trump.”
However, it appears that Trump himself does not share his disdain for divisive rhetoric. A few hours later, in Fox City Hallthe former president called Democrats “Marxists, communists and fascists” and vaguely suggested that under “a smart president, they all have can be processed”.
