News EditorThe Biden administration agrees with the characterization of former President Donald Trump as a fascist, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre confirmed during a recent press briefing. The statement follows remarks by John Kelly, Trump’s former White House chief of staff, who in recent interviews described Trump as someone who “meets the definition of fascist” and revealed that Trump had spoken positively about Adolf Hitler while in office.
Jean-Pierre emphasized that President Biden has repeatedly spoken about the threats to democracy, aligning with Kelly’s claims. “You’ve heard from the former president himself, saying that he is going to be a dictator on day one,” she said, referencing comments made by Trump about his potential actions if re-elected. “This is him, not us. This is him.”
The remarks come as political tensions rise ahead of the 2024 election, with the Biden administration positioning itself as a defender of democratic values in contrast to what it describes as the authoritarian tendencies of Trump.
