Malcolm Nance: ‘We Are in a Neo-Fascist Era in American Politics’

TRANSCRIPT:

NANCE: "We are in a neo-fascist era in American politics. You know, back in 1939, 1940, there was a formal fascist movement which openly supported Adolf Hitler and called for American independence and isolation away from Europe’s war, which Hitler had just invaded, called the America First Movement. It was championed by people like John Lindbergh (sic), you know, the famous flyer. They had a rally in Madison Square Garden in which George Washington was juxtaposed with Adolf Hitler. These people were fascists. But what we’ve seen is after World War II, you know, when they were essentially run to the ground, there was a rise in the 1950s and ‘60s of these very small fascist groups that turned into terrorist groups like the Christian Identity Movement. What we are seeing now is a merger of every white nationalist trope and group and ideology, bound together by the crazy QAnon conspiracy theory, into an American neo-fascist movement led by a fascist president of the United States. Look, if I were doing an intelligence assessment of, I don’t know, Hungary, I would be coming up with these exact same lines of investigation, which would be bringing us to these conclusions that there is a fascist movement not just in the United States, all over Europe, which is actually funded, surprisingly, by Russia. In France, Italy, Spain, neo-fascist movements everywhere are out to take down American democracy."
