Fetterman reveals the shocking instant Democrats went off course and why Harris’s campaign quietly slipped away.NH
Outspoken US Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) said his party “lost the plot” — and the White House — when their then-leader Kamala Harris started calling President Trump a fascist.
“When Vice President Harris referred to President Trump as a ‘fascist’ … I knew absolutely we lost the plot at that point,” Fetterman told Fox News’ “Hannity” on Wednesday night.
“If you call the president or someone like a fascist, you are effectively calling the people who are going to vote for him … then they must be fascist too … or they support fascism and those things. And that is just not true.”
Fetterman laid into Harris after being asked why other Democrats have been echoing her by disturbingly comparing Trump to the likes of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.
“I don’t know why — and I have always refused to say that,” Fetterman said.
He also noted that spewing such hatred encourages violence — such as Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
“I refuse to do those kinds of things because that kind of extreme kinds of rhetoric makes it easier for those kinds of extreme kinds of actions — even like what happened to poor Charlie Kirk,” he said.
“I happen to know and love a lot of people that voted for the president and they are not fascist, they are not Nazis, they’re not trying to destroy the Constitution and all those things,” Fetterman added.
“They just happen to have different priorities and they love our country in the same ways that Democrats do as well.”
