Vice President Kamala Harris labeled former President Donald J. Trump a fascist during a CNN town hall on Wednesday evening, intensifying the Democratic Party’s long-standing criticisms of him.
When host Anderson Cooper asked Harris if she believed Trump met the definition of a fascist, she responded affirmatively. “Yes, I do,” she stated emphatically.
Later in the discussion, Harris addressed the situation of Palestinians in Gaza while also critiquing Trump. “For many people who care about this issue, they also care about bringing down the price of groceries,” she said. “They also care about our democracy and not having a president of the United States who admires dictators and is a fascist.”
Harris’s comments come in the wake of revelations from The Atlantic regarding Trump’s controversial statements while in office, in which he expressed a desire for military leaders akin to those of Nazi Germany. In response, many Republicans and conservative commentators dismissed the remarks, asking, “OK, so what?”
Harris’s remarks reflect a broader Democratic strategy to frame Trump as a threat to democracy ahead of upcoming elections, further energizing party supporters in a contentious political climate.
