(Full title: 'What's fascism?' GOP lawmaker enraged as
CNN puts him on spot over Trump threat)
***
Calling a fascist a fascist...the nerve! lol
***
CNN host John Berman enraged Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL) after
he was asked about former President Donald Trump's threat
to deploy the military to fight "the enemy from within"
during U.S. elections.
"I do want to ask you about Donald Trump's comments about
the quote enemy from within," Berman told Waltz during a
Tuesday interview. "He says he's talking about sick
people, radical left lunatics."
"It should be very easily handled, if necessary, by the
National Guard or if really necessary by the military,"
the CNN host quoted Trump. "He went on to identify Adam
Schiff as one of these people."
Berman wondered if Waltz, a veteran, would support
deploying the military against Rep. Schiff (D-CA).
"Well, I don't think that's what he said, John," Waltz
said, denying Trump's quote. "I think you're connecting
some dots there."
"But you're not suggesting deploying military against
him," Berman said of Schiff. "Do you want to deploy
military against Adam Schiff?"
Waltz admitted he did not want to deploy the military
against the Democratic lawmaker.
"Do you think, Congressman, do you think deploying
military against political opponents is something that is
responsible to discuss from political candidates?" the
CNN host asked.
"I think it's responsible to discuss deploying the
National Guard, which is clearly part of the military,
John, to keep our streets safe, to keep rioters out of
the street," Waltz replied. "And that's what he was
talking about. And that is not good for the country."
"Well, again, he called Adam Schiff a lunatic, and
specifically was talking about lunatics for the
military," the CNN host noted.
Waltz attacked CNN: "People are on this network calling
Trump, calling Trump Hitler, and the next coming of
another dictator, and two people have tried to kill him."
"I do understand you have talked about some of the
rhetoric that's been at play here, and we could talk
about Mark Milley calling Donald Trump a fascist, but you
yourself sometimes use heated rhetoric," Berman shot
back. "You've referred, you did an interview with Newsmax
where you're talking about socialists, seeming to refer
to Vice President Harris as a socialist."
"Socialism is a long-standing political ideology," Waltz
said. "That's very different than saying someone is going
to be the world's most god — I mean, god-awful dictator
in Hitler, and that clearly is radicalizing people to
take action where they believe the ends justify the means
to kill him."
"What's fascism?" Berman pressed.
"I don't think that's a fair comparison at all, John,"
Waltz asserted.
"You don't?" the CNN host reacted. "I mean, you talk
about Marxism, you talk about socialism, and do you think
Kamala Harris is a Marxist or a socialist?"

Hawley's ties to Project 2025 exposed
Waltz argued Harris had proposed Marxist policies.
"All I'm saying, Congressman, is that when Mark Milley
says, no one has ever been as dangerous to this country
as Donald Trump, now I realize he's a total fascist,"
Berman explained. "He's saying that Donald Trump espouses
fascist policies, and it's a political ideology. Fascism
is a political ideology."

I recently saw an anchor quip that "It sounds like he's
reading directly from the German translation".
(sorry, I don't remember which one it was)
I mean, it's not hidden to anyone who knows even a
little bit of WWII/Hitler and Mussolini history...at
all. They are using the same playbook and, at times, the
exact same words.

If there's one or another thing about this that's
"scariest" (though I put that in quotes, not wanting to
give this perversion Iota One of my energy), it's
realizing how many human beings SEE HIM DOING THIS, FULLY
RECOGNIZE its parallel with other
Dictators/Authoritarians like Un and Jinping and
Putin...AND ACTUALLY FEEL AS IF THEY ARE AMONGST THOSE
WHO WOULD BE *PROTECTED* BY THAT FASCIST
IDEALOGY........and so, are not opposed to it *becoming
the law of the land here at all*...and would happily do
whatever was asked of them, to be part of it...
