“The much more dangerous part of fascism is the fascists in suits.”
Lawyer and author Omer Aziz joins Mehdi Hasan to discuss the resurgence of fascism in the United States and a playbook to fight back against it. Plus, the history of Nazism in the U.S., and the time Donald Trump’s father attended a KKK rally.
Aziz, who most recently served as speechwriter to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, has a new book about it all: ‘Shadows of the Republic: The Rebirth of Fascism in America and How to Defeat It for Good.’
Watch the full video to hear Aziz discuss whether he agrees with comparisons between Trump and Hitler, Elon Musk’s role in the global fascist project, and his former boss calling Trump’s war in Iran “worth it.”
