For months, President Donald Trump has been trying to bind Joe Biden to the amorphous protest movement known as antifa – short for “anti-fascist.” Now he calls the former vice president and his running mate “fascist.”
Talk to fans on an asphalt road Mankato, Minnesota on Monday, just hours before the virtual Democratic National Convention was to begin, President Trump appeared to read from a TelePrompter when he said the Biden-Harris administration “would replace American freedom with left-wing fascism.” ”
“Left, we’re going left left all the way,” Trump continued, now ad-libbing. “Fascists! They are fascists! Some of them, not all of them, but some of them. But they are getting closer and closer. We have to win these elections. ”
Aside from Trump’s tendency to project the criticism that is being thrown at him, the term ‘fascist’ will be used to describe his political opponents, a sharp turn for the president, who has been trying to oust Democrats for some time. to link to antifa.
Back in June, The Daily Beast reported that the 2020 campaign for the Trump campaign was aimed at portraying Biden as “sympathetic to left-wing violence ”and noted that in the midst of the George Floyd protests Trump“ had done everything he could to say that the former VP is a card-suffering member of the antifa. ”
This past week, after the domain Antifa.com began redirecting to Joe Biden’s official campaign website as part of an apparent prank, President Trump called for the Democratic ticket to deny the group during his daily briefing.
“I think they’re scared,” Trump said. “In my book, it’s almost part of her campaign, Antifa.”
That in Joe’s book, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are both “fascist” and “anti-fascist.” Either that or he does not know what antifa means.
