Vice-president responds to suggestion by interviewer Charlamagne Tha God that Republican rival represents fascism

Harris’s comments went significantly further than her previous day’s attack on Trump’s increasingly authoritarian rhetoric, when she called him “unstable and unhinged” and “dangerous” in response to his branding of Democratic opponents as “the enemy within”. Trump had also advocated using the military against opponents he accused of plotting “chaos” on election day, although – as an opposition candidate – he has no power to do so.

A newly published book by the journalist Bob Woodward quotes the retired chairman of the US joint chiefs of staff, Gen Mark Milley, as calling Trump a “total fascist” and “a fascist to the core”.

    Aquí en mi país, vemos a todos los políticos de Estados Unidos como fascistas, desde que vinieron a tumbar al gobierno. Y luego nos llaman república bananera, como si fuera culpa nuestra, ¡si ustedes mismos pus ieron a un representante de la United Fruit Company como dictador militar!

    What country are you from? It could be many.

    I understand why you would say that, but it really depends on who is in charge and who has control of the house and senate. We have windows of non-fascist output.

        I find it interesting that you’re not replying what country you’re from. There are no absolutes for any country and the fact that you’re saying there are makes me suspect of you.

          I’m not going to dox myself to you. I find it interesting you are demanding this when it is not relevant.
