Scarborough: ‘Donald Trump Is Acting Like a Fascist’

‘If you look up the definition of fascism, so much of what he does fits neatly in there’

EXCERPT:

SCARBOROUGH: “And I will say, I have been sitting here saying, 'Oh, institutions will hold, blah-blah-blah.' So far they have, but that said, I think she makes a great point that's a lot along the lines of Masha Gessen because — who said, 'We don’t have the language for this.' We get on here and we’re shocked and we’re stunned and we’re deeply saddened, but we keep speaking in these generalities because this has never happened before. So, when we call this a coup, it doesn’t quite fit. We don’t quite have the language, so maybe it’s an auto-coup. Donald Trump is acting like a fascist, but we don’t want to call him a fascist. Even though if you look up the definition of fascism, so much of what he does fits neatly in there. But we don’t have the language here because we have never seen this before.”
