The fascism of Trump is there for all to see. Today, he praised those in the crowd last night who beat up a Black Lives Matter protester. Hes giving signals that violence is ok.
After his supporters beat up a Black Lives Matter protester on video, Donald Trump suggested that they may have done the right thing. The protester, a black man, reportedly started chanting Black Lives Matter at a rally in Birmingham, Alabama on Saturday. In a video captured by CNN reporter Jeremy Diamond, rally attendees swarm around the man, kicking and punching him as he curls up on the ground.
Trump was asked to weigh in on his supporters actions on Fox & Friends Sunday morning. Maybe he should have been roughed up, he said. It was disgusting what he was doing.
Trump is whipping up racist hate and violence. Hes signaling to his supporters that violence against blacks or any others is acceptable. He is an American Mussolini. This is the face of American fascism and it must be stopped.
