'Germany elected a guy who talked like this once': Experts sound alarm on Trump’s Fox interview response

Donald Trump, during a Sunday interview with Fox News' Maria Bartiromo, floated the idea that the National Guard will take control of polling sites on Election Day.

"Let's remember you've got 50,000 Chinese nationals in the last couple of years. There are people on the terrorist watch list — 350 in the last couple of years. Like you said, 13,000 murderers, and 15,000 rapists," Bartiromo said, asking the former president, "What are you expecting? Joe Biden said he doesn't think it's going to be a peaceful Election Day."

Trump replied, "He doesn't know what's happening. I think the bigger problem is the enemy from within ... sick people, radical left lunatics. And it should be easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military."

A slew of political experts and journalist immediately sounded the alarm.

Lawyer Bradley P. Moss replied: "Trump here calling for military control of elections."

New Yorker staff writer Susan Glasser commented: "The enemy within. Straight up language of dictators and tyrants, who want to use the military on their own people."

New Republic staff writer Greg Sargent pointed out: "As we reported in this month's cover story, Democratic attorneys general are currently preparing for the possibility or likelihood that Trump gives illegal orders to their states' National Guards."

HuffPost White House correspondent S.V. Dáte noted: "Germany elected a guy who talked like this once. And then there were no more elections until after he had murdered millions of people and started a world war that wrecked his country."

Zeteo News media columnist Justin Baragona asked: "Can someone explain to me how this isn't fascistic language?"
