Bret Stephens: Trump’s ‘Whole Line of Anger’ Is a ‘Kind of Quasi-Fascism’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

STEPHENS: "You know, conservatives should see it most of all. This is a point that I've been trying to make to some of my fellow conservatives. Texas V. Johnson, 1989 supreme Court decision on flag burning. Who is the justice who makes the case that a fundamental right is also the right to burn the flag? It's that well-known, left-wing Progressive crazy Antonin Scalia voting with the majority in that case. So Republicans or conservatives who think of themselves as constitutionalists who think they have a grip of what this country is about ought to be the first to oppose the president instead of going along with -- his whole line about anger is something out of a playbook from the 1930s of populism and a kind of a quasi-fascism. It's unbelievable to hear the president like this. By the way, the language he used about Colin Kaepernick and I guess by extension his mother was stunning. It would behoove conservatives to wash his mouth with soap."
MATTHEWS: "Yeah, son of a bitch is a great phrase coming out of the mouth of our president. I hate flag burning. I don't know you well and I guess that's why it works because so many of us do hate it. That's why people burn the flag, because they know we hate it. The president tied the protest to wounded and killed soldiers."
