MSNBC’s Capehart Loves Howard Dean Scolding Dems For Not Fighting ‘Neo-Fascist’ GOP

Although Howard Dean did not unleash the infamous scream, he expressed a lot on Jonathan Capehart’s MSNBC program. It was interesting that most of the anger directed at Democrats! Although — true to Democrat form — Dean did call Republicans “neo-fascists” [singling out Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley] He said Trump and Hitler had “similarities”.

Dean answered Capehart’s query about whether Biden’s “really poor” poll numbers mean that Biden and his party are doomed in 2022.

An angry Dean responded:

Yes, of course. The problem is here. Democrats are wimps.Democratic voters are impatient of me being discouraged. You won’t make it out. Protect the Democratic majority from these neofascists on both the Republican and Democratic sides like Ted Cruz or Josh HawleyYou are the one responsible.

This really mirrors the events in Germany during World War II, when Hitler came to power. This is also what happened in Germany between the wars, when Hitler took power. While there are many similarities between Trump and Hitler, it’s not my intention to do so. But the truth is, voters have to not be apathetic. It was apathy as much as anti-Semitism that led to the Holocaust.

Capehart adored Dean’s rant, framing the unhinged political tirade as if it were a religious sermon: “I wish I had my church organ just now for Chairman Dean, because he is saying exactly what I’m thinking.”

MSNBC’s Jonathan Capehart seconding Howard Dean saying that Democrats need to fight “neo-fascist” Republicans, and seeing similarities between Hitler and Trump, was sponsored by Procter & Gamble, maker of Olay, Hyundai, Liberty Mutual, Oscar Mayer, and Sandals.

JONATHAN CAPEHART: The president’s poll numbers: really bad! Are they so bad that he can’t turn it around, and are they so bad that the Democrats are doomed in the midterm elections?

HOWARD DEAN: No, of course not. Here’s the problem. The Democrats are being wimps. I am impatient with Democratic voters being discouraged. This is your country! If you don’t want to fight for it, that’s your business. But if you don’t get out there and keep the Democratic majorities from these neo-fascists on the Republican side like Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley, that’s not on the Republicans, that’s on you! 

So, this really parallels what happened in Germany in between the wars, when Hitler took power. And I don’t want to compare Trump to Hitler, although there are some similarities.The truth is that voters must not remain apathetic. Holocaust caused by antisemitism as well as apathy. This is also what happened in Germany between the wars, when Hitler took power. people just turned a blind eye. 

Go out and get involved! Vote if you believe this country to be important. Then, If you don’t vote, you shouldn’t be blaming the Democrats. There are some crackpots at the presidencyWho wants to remove your right to vote?”

JONATHAN CAPEHART For Chairman Dean, I would have loved to have my church organ. Because he, He says exactly what I think. Get out there, you know! Don’t let the excitement get in your way! It is the end of democracy!
