'What's fascism?' GOP lawmaker enraged as CNN puts him on spot over Trump threat

Raw Story  

CNN host John Berman enraged Rep. Mike Waltz after he was asked about former President Donald Trump's threat to deploy the military to fight "the enemy from within" during U.S. elections. "I do want to ask you about Donald Trump's comments about the quote enemy from within," Berman told Waltz during a Tuesday interview. "I think it's responsible to discuss deploying the National Guard, which is clearly part of the military, John, to keep our streets safe, to keep rioters out of the street," Waltz replied. "All I'm saying, Congressman, is that when Mark Milley says, no one has ever been as dangerous to this country as Donald Trump, now I realize he's a total fascist," Berman explained.
