CNN shows supercut of Trump calling Harris ‘fascist’ – after JD Vance said no one should be using the word

CNN aired a powerful montage of Donald Trump calling Kamala Harris a “fascist” multiple times after his running mate JD Vance blasted Democrats for using the same word to refer to the former president.

The montage began with a snippet from Vance’sMonday speech in Georgia. The Ohio Senator-turned-GOP vice presidential nominee called for Democrats to reduce the “ridiculous and inflammatory political rhetoric” days after an assassination attempt against Trump — the second in a matter of months.

“Look, we can disagree with one another. We can debate one another. But we cannot tell the American people that one candidate is a ‘fascist’ and if he’s elected, it’s going to be the end of American democracy,” Vance said.

Since there have been no attempts against Harris’s life and two against Trump’s, the veep pick claimed: “That’s pretty strong evidence that the left needs to tone down the rhetoric and needs to cut this crap out. Somebody’s going to get hurt by it.”

Then, CNN showed a series of clips of Trump using the exact same term to describe Harris.

“This is Communist, this is Marxist, this is fascist,” the former president said at an August 27 rally in Pennsylvania.

Then, another clip captured Trump attacking Harris at a Friday news conference near his golf resort in Los Angeles: “This is a radical-left, Marxist, communist, fascist.”

“She’s a Marxist. She’s a fascist…“Comrade Kamala Harris,” he similarly told a crowd in Michigan on August 29. Speaking about Democrats, he continued: “They’re scum. And they want to take down our country. They are absolute garbage.”

The Independent has reached out to a Vance spokesperson for comment.

At the same Vance event in Georgia on Monday, the Ohio Senator also commented on the controversy
