Fetterman: Harris ‘lost the plot’ when she called Trump a ‘fascist’"
Democratic Sen. John Fetterman (D) says former Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic Party’s nominee for president in 2024, “lost the plot” when she called President Trump a “fascist.”
Fetterman made his comments during an interview with Fox News’s “Hannity”.
Asked by the show’s host, Sean Hannity, why Democrats are comparing Trump to authoritarian leaders of history, Fetterman said some of his fellow Democrats have gone too far in their rhetoric and criticized Harris.
“I don’t know why, and I have always refused to say that,” Fetterman said. “When Vice President Harris referred to President Trump as a ‘fascist,’ and I knew, absolutely, we lost the plot at that point.”
Fetterman warned that calling Trump a fascist or comparing him to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler risked impugning the millions of Americans who voted for him.
“If you call the president or someone like a fascist, you are effectively calling the people who are going to vote for him [the same thing], and then they must be fascist too … or they support fascism and those things. And that is just not true,” Fetterman explained.
Harris called Trump a “fascist” and “dangerous” in late October 2024, as her campaign appeared to be flagging.
Asked by host Anderson Cooper at a CNN town hall whether she thought Trump is a fascist, Harris replied: “Yes, I do. Yes, I do.”
“I believe that Donald Trump is dangerous,” she said.
“As the president of the United States, the commander in chief, he’s saying to his generals, in essence, ‘Why can’t you be more like Hitler’s generals?’” she added, referring to a claim made by former Trump White House chief of staff John Kelly.
Fetterman warned Wednesday that extreme rhetoric could lead to violent actions, such as last month’s assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University.
“That kind of extreme kinds of rhetoric makes it easier for those … extreme kinds of actions, even like what happened to poor Charlie Kirk,” he said.
“We’re forgetting that we need each other here,” he said. “I refuse to be a part of it and comparing people to Hitler and those things.
“If that’s required to win, then I refuse to,” he said.
She didn't "lose the plot" John. She REVEALED it. Since woke Democrats hyperbolic overuse of calling opponents of the Democratic Party "Racist" served to render it into a ridiculous charge, they needed a new moniker to paint opponents with. They settled on the Post-WWII Global Consensus' former enemies, the Fascists. In WWII, if you wanted to make an opponents arguments "beyond the pale" of consideration, you just called him a "Fascist". Any words spoken by a "Fascist" were at the time (30's and 40s) to be immediately discounted. And as the word "Fascist" still wields some influence globally (and as immigration has rendered charges of racism increasingly incredible) this was the epithet selected. This choice of terms pairs well with an 80 year "Global Democracy Spreading" effort by the CIA, NED, and intelligence services to overthrow "totalitarian and fascistic" governments and transform them into neoliberal democracies. These efforts failed miserably in the Global War on Terror in the Middle East, but sponsored many successful "Colour" Revolutions in former Soviet territories and their satellites.
The Problem with this strategy, however, has been in that in fighting the Fascists in the 30s and 40s, we ourselves became more and more fascistic. We became the very monsters we were fighting. And none more so than the Democrats that allied themselves in combatting racism (calling themselves anti-racists) and now the ones combatting the so-called "enemies of democracy" (Republicans/ Fascists) calling themselves anti-fascists.
The new charge (fascist) is even more hyperbolic than the old charge (racist). And it's just as dangerous, as it carries the inevitable slippery-slope trajectory towards violence.
It also shows that the Democratic Party and Never-Trump Republicans are operating in Lock-Step with the Rogue US Intelligence Community wishing to undermine President Trump's "America First" concentration and expand on their Neoliberal Globalist ambitions, and subjecting the World's Resources to exclusive European and American Neoliberal, and increasingly Technofeudal, oligarchy exploitation.
In other words, Democrats and their globalist allies have reached an advanced stage of Reductio ad Hitlerum. Everyone opposed to them has literally become "Hitler". @@ And you must always fight fire with fire.
