Vice President Harris on Tuesday agreed with radio host Charlamagne the God, who called former President Trump's vision one of “fascism.”
In a live radio interview from Detroit, Harris referred to the choice made between her and her political opponents in November, saying she could choose between her vision moving forward and Trump's. he told listeners.
“The other one is about fascism, why can't you say that?'' Divine Charlamagne interjected.
“Yes, I can say that,” Mr. Harris replied.
The Trump campaign quickly responded on social platform X, denouncing the rhetoric and suggesting it was the kind that could lead to political violence.
“This is the kind of hateful rhetoric that led to two assassination attempts against President Trump.” The Trump team said:.
“Kamala Harris's extreme liberal policies are extremely unpopular with the American public. During the interview, she proposed a reparations levy that could cost the United States between $10 trillion and $12 trillion.” said Team Trump Black media director Janiyah Thomas in a statement to The Hill.
“Kamala Harris joins Charlamagne in flat-out lying about President Trump's accomplishments. 61% of Black voters think the country is on the wrong path. Kamala's “In America, we have illegal immigration, the war in Ukraine, and now black Americans know that we are coming to the end of the Middle East,” Thomas added.
Harris' interview with the influential radio host comes as she embarks on a media blitz focused specifically on Black voters in the weeks before Election Day.
Harris is available both by phone and in the studio to answer questions from Charlamagne as well as from the audience.
The idea of comparing Trump's campaign to that of fascism has been repeated before.
Recently, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and retired general Mark Milley called Trump a “total fascist” and journalist Bob Woodward, according to an excerpt from Woodward's upcoming book “War.” He reportedly told him that the former president was “a fascist through and through.” ”
Harris on Monday also criticized Trump's recent proposal to deploy the National Guard or military on Election Day to counter potential disruption by people who are not his supporters.
“Donald Trump is becoming more and more unstable and less free, and he wants unchecked power. That's what he wants,” Harris said at a rally in Pennsylvania. “He wants to send the military after American citizens.”
