Washington: Kamala Harris, the Democrat hoping to become the next US president, considers her Republican opponent, Donald Trump, a fascist.
In a public forum hosted by CNN’s Anderson Cooper, he asked Harris if she thinks Trump is a fascist. “Yes, I do,” she said.
The question follows remarks from Trump’s former chief of staff, John Kelly, who told the New York Times that in his view Trump “certainly falls into the general definition of fascist, for sure.” He referred to the description of fascism as an extreme right-wing, authoritarian, and ultra-nationalistic ideology, characterized by a dictatorial leader and the suppression of opposition.
Harris, 60, said that Trump is “increasingly unstable” and “unfit to serve.” She stated that former employees of the ex-president and close associates have explicitly pointed out that Trump despises the United States constitution and should never again hold the office of president of the United States.
