NOMINEES:
1. Rosie O’Donnell: GOP Is a “Fascist” Party That Supports Trump’s “Gestapo”
“I wonder if you are the GOP anymore, you know. You’re something different now. Burgeoning fascist America party. Almost fascist America party. Could be fascist America party. Or just the fascist America party, you know. What’s happening is not American. What’s happening with this Gestapo that he [Donald Trump] gets to go out, his own SS.”
— Comedian/actress Rosie O’Donnell on her TikTok feed, July 11.
2. Sunny Hostin: Trump’s Distractions Are All Part of His Plan For a “Dictatorship”
“These things that seem to be a distraction. That he [Donald Trump] seems to be doing this and he seems to be doing that, he seems to be doing that. This is all part of a plan towards a step towards authoritarianism, towards a dictatorship, towards fascism.”
— Co-host Sunny Hostin on ABC’s The View, July 17.
3. Kevin Blackistone: U.S. Isn’t “Fit to Host” World Cup Because Trump is “Trampling Human Rights”
“I, for one, don’t think that this country, under this administration, is really fit to host the World Cup or fit to host the Olympics coming up….FIFA has an entire section about human rights, and yet Gianni Infantino, the head of FIFA, had the nerve to embrace President Trump the other day at the championship game of the Club World Cup, someone who does not stand for human rights but instead is trampling human rights.”
— Washington Post columnist, ESPN commentator Kevin Blackistone on MSNBC’s Deadline: White House, July 14.
