Barrón-López: Scholars Say that Fascism ‘Exists Within Factions of the GOP in This Country Today’

RUSH EXCERPT:

BARRON-LOPEZ: "What is important as we talk about President Biden’s decision to use the term semi fascist and in the prime time speech use the term authoritarian to say the former president as well as allies are promoting authoritarian leaders is historians and scholars, people that studied and I’ve spoken to have studied authoritarian and face fascist movement says that exists within factions of the GOP in this country today and point to the encouragement of political violence and Trump and some 60% of the GOP nominees that won their primaries over the summer are election deniers. They point to the fact that Trump himself has — is implying that he’s condoning violence by saying he would pardon January 6th insurrectionists as well as the fact that even to this day the former president just this week said that the election results should be overturned, that he should be declared the legitimate winner. There’s a lot of historical linnage there and scholars are waiting for the current president Biden to address that."
