(Keystone-ATS) Kamala Harris said on Wednesday that “yes”, her Republican rival Donald Trump was a fascist, less than two weeks before an election as tense as it was acrimonious between the two candidates for the White House.
“Do you think Donald Trump is a fascist? “, a CNN journalist asked him during a public meeting with voters in Pennsylvania.
“Yes, I think so,” replied the vice-president and Democratic candidate in the November 5 election.
This question was asked this week in reference to the comments of the Republican’s former chief of staff at the White House.
According to the latter, John Kelly, who considered that Donald Trump met the definition of a fascist, the ex-president would have said that the Nazi dictator had “done good things”.
In a very dramatic tone and during a short speech in Washington on Wednesday, Kamala Harris had already estimated that Donald Trump was “increasingly unbalanced” and in search of “absolute power”.
“It is deeply disturbing and incredibly dangerous that Donald Trump would invoke Adolf Hitler,” the vice president said.
The Republican candidate also describes his opponent as “fascist”, but also as “Marxist” and “communist”.
The tone hardens
Kamala Harris, who has continued to toughen her tone in recent days about her rival, will deliver a “final indictment” against Donald Trump on Tuesday in Washington, one week before one of the most indecisive elections in American history. , at the same place where the former president had harangued his supporters just before they attacked the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
The vice-president and Democratic candidate wants on this occasion to establish a strong contrast between her vision and that of her Republican rival, marked according to her by chaos and division, her campaign announced on Wednesday.
