Kamala Harris och Hillary Clinton om Trump som fascist; New York Times
The word “fascist” has hovered around former President Donald J. Trump; but for most top Democrats, it was a provocative term loaded with dread, historical import and potential incitement — best left unsaid.
Until Vice President Kamala Harris this week made clear — again and again — that it would be just fine with her to use the word.
“The other is about fascism,” he said of Mr. Trump’s vision. “Why can’t we just say it?”
Ms. Harris’s response: “Yes, we can say that.”
On Wednesday, speaking in Washington Crossing, Pa., Ms. Harris quoted Gen. Mark A. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under Mr. Trump, describing his former boss as “fascist to the core,” as detailed in a new book from the journalist Bob Woodward.
Mrs. Clinton, Mr. Trump’s opponent in 2016, chimed in on Monday in a social media post: “Trump’s rhetoric has become blatantly fascist.”
