MSNBC hosts left speechless after authoritarian expert predicts what's next from Trump
Raw StoryThe entire panel of MSNBC's "The Weekend" was left speechless before dissolving into nervous laughter after a noted expert on authoritarianism detailed how Donald Trump managed to get himself re-elected and what to expect now that voters have handed him another four years in office. Co-host Michael Steele prompted historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat with, "I want to get your thoughts of what we can now say is the emerged, the realized form of American fascism that the American people, by some 50-plus percent decided, 'Yes, let's do that.'" "We are here now, you know, Donald Trump was very skilled at conditioning Americans to think that democracy and American democracy in particular was failing." After she concluded, there was a long pause before Steele and co-host Symone Sanders Townsend simultaneously uttered, "Hmmm," which then led to a smattering of nervous laughter before turning to guest George Conway.
