Harris Calls Trump a “Fascist” After John Kelly Says Trump Praised Hitler and Would Rule Like a Dictator

HeadlineOct 24, 2024

On Wednesday, Trump rallied supporters in Duluth, Georgia, where he was introduced by far-right TV personality Tucker Carlson, who compared Trump to an angry father whose children deserved to be spanked.

Tucker Carlson: “And when dad gets home, you know what he says? ’You’ve been a bad girl. You’ve been a bad little girl, and you’re getting a vigorous spanking right now.’”

Trump was later welcomed to the stage as the crowd chanted “Daddy’s home.” At the Georgia rally, Trump did not mention recent statements from his former chief of staff, retired Marine General John Kelly, who told The New York Times Trump made admiring comments about Adolf Hitler and would govern like a dictator if allowed. On Wednesday, Kamala Harris said she agrees with Kelly that Trump is a fascist.

Vice President Kamala Harris: “Donald Trump is increasingly unhinged and unstable. And in a second term, people like John Kelly would not be there to be the guardrails against his propensities and his actions.”
