Fetterman Rebukes Harris on Fox, Says Calling Trump ‘Fascist’ Was When Democrats ‘Lost the Plot’

His Fox interview highlights a break with party messaging that has fueled talk of a 2028 primary.

Overview

  • Speaking on Sean Hannity’s show, Sen. John Fetterman criticized Democrats for branding President Donald Trump and his voters as fascists or Nazis.
  • He argued such labels unfairly tar millions of voters and said incendiary rhetoric can enable violence, citing the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
  • Fetterman’s comments referenced Kamala Harris’s 2024 CNN town hall answer in which she said she considered Trump a fascist.
  • He also faulted fellow Democrats over Israel policy during the interview, saying his party had betrayed the U.S. ally.
  • The Independent reported that Democrats are weighing a 2028 primary challenge and noted Fetterman’s weak third‑quarter fundraising under $330,000 and a Quinnipiac poll showing stronger approval among Republicans than Democrats.
