The Democratic candidate for the White House says she agrees with the assessment that her Republican rival is a fascist
The vice president of the United States and Democratic candidate for the Presidency, Kamala Harris, will deliver her closing campaign speech on Tuesday at the Ellipse, a park that is located in front of the White House and where her Republican rival, former President Donald Trump, gave the speech that preceded the assault on the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
A week before the election, Harris will use her main speech to contrast her vision of the Presidency with that of her rival, taking the opportunity to denounce Trump’s suitability for the office, according to some American media, including the American television network CNN.
After losing the 2020 election, Trump tried to convince his supporters that he had won during a speech from the door of the White House in which he told his supporters to march to the Capitol to pressure lawmakers to overturn the election as they met in a joint session of Congress to formally certify the victory of now-President Joe Biden.
Harris has invoked the assault on the Capitol on several occasions during her election campaign as part of her argument that democracy is at stake. In fact, on Wednesday she said that she agrees with the assessment that Trump is a fascist, remarking that some people who worked with him “have called him unfit and dangerous.”
“They have said, explicitly, that he has contempt for the Constitution of the United States. They have said that he should never again serve as president of the United States. We know that is why Mike Pence will not run with him again,” she said during an open forum with CNN in reference to the man who was her vice president.
These statements come after Trump’s former White House chief of staff John Kelly revealed the tycoon’s alleged loyalty to the generals of German dictator Adolf Hitler, a claim denied by the Republican campaign.
