Will Marie Gluesenkamp Perez apologize for her radical rhetoric?
Charlie Kirk was assassinated a week ago today.
The assassin engraved one of the bullets with the phrase “Hey Fascist! Catch!”
Kirk’s assassin and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez have something in common: They both use the word “fascist” to describe Republicans they disagree with.
Perez has used the word multiple times to describe Republicans:
- She thanked supporters for “doing the work it took to stop Trump’s march towards fascism.”
- She claimed her opponent Joe Kent is “carrying that same banner of fascism. Of white nationalism. Of the proud boys.”
- She said “We just took over the Blue Dogs…We are sort of rebuilding it into…this sort of Anti-fascist rural organization.”
Does Marie Gluesenkamp Perez regret her radical rhetoric? Does she believe President Trump is a fascist? Does she still think the 50.3% of voters in her district who supported Trump are “marching towards fascism”?
