CNN Senior Political Analyst Jon Avlon said on New Day Tuesday that President Joe Biden’s calling MAGA Republicans quasi-fascists “does not befit the office of the president”.
Senator Maggie Hassan (D-NH) told WMUR news on Monday that President Joe Biden was “picturing too broadly” with semi-fascist remarks.
Ashley Ellison, the network’s political columnist, said: “Joe Biden’s campaign is about saving the soul of our country, and we are at a very dangerous moment for democracy. I also want to add context to what the president said. He didn’t call half of America fascist. He told those who believed that the 2020 elections were stolen, those who wanted to ban the books, and those who took these steps. We are on a very dangerous path.”
Avlon said: “The term semi-fascist is useless. It doesn’t suit the office of the President. You can certainly name the dangers to our democracy, but it makes sense to someone like Senator Hassan, because look, more than 40 percent of New Hampshire’s registered voters are independent, and 30 percent or less Republican. Democrats make up the third category among registered voters. That’s why he needs to reach him, and this language doesn’t help him with that.”
Alice Stewart, the channel’s political commentator, said: “You can analyze it however you want, but this is the result. Maggie Hassan is right. She described the republican Party as a bunch of fascists, she.”
