As we’ve reported, John Kelly, who was White House chief of staff during the Trump administration and has since become a critic of the former president, said in a series of recent interviews that Mr Trump spoke positively about Adolf Hitler when he was in office.
Mr Kelly also said that former president Trump “meets the definition of fascist” – and the Joe Biden’s press secretary has said that the White House agrees with that assertion.
Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters at the daily press briefing: “Look, you have heard from this president over and over again about the threats to democracy, and the president has spoken about that.
“You’ve heard from the former president himself saying that he is going to be a dictator on day one. This is him, not us. This is him.
“And it’s not just … us, the White House, saying this. You heard it from officials, former officials that worked for the former president say this as well.
“So you know, do we agree – I know that the vice president just spoke about this – do we agree about that determination? Yes, we do. We do.”
Ms Jean-Pierre was then asked by a reporter: “So just to be clear, when you said, ‘we do agree’ – President Biden believes that Donald Trump is a fascist?”
She replied: “I mean, yes. We have said – he’s said himself, the former president has said he is going to be a dictator on day one. We cannot ignore that.”
