HBO host Bill Maher on Friday likened former President Donald Trump’s rumored new “Patriot Party” to Adolf Hitler’s Brownshirts.
“First of all, that sounds like Nazis to me,” Maher said regarding Trump’s alleged future venture. “And not like the ‘killing all the Jews Nazis,’ but like fascism come to America, Patriot Party, whenever you are that blatant about ‘We’re the Patriots, we’re the good people.’”
“Would you prefer Trump Organization as the name of this new entity?” asked libertarian guest and host of “The Fifth Column” podcast Kmele Foster.
“I actually would,” Maher answered. “Patriot Party is very Brownshirt-y. I do worry that all those people who just believe might is right, who — [we’re] at least two generations passed where they taught anything in school, so it’s not like people know that they’re violating the Constitution because they have no clue what’s in it to begin with. So they don’t know they’re fascists. But they are. And I feel like they’re all going to be in the Patriot Party, and it’s going to be a dangerous — talk about fifth columnists. ”
“If you can’t call what the people who wanted to undo the election that even the Republican judges and politicians said was fairly called, I don’t know what fascism is. Then what definition do we have? That is fascism, when it’s just like, I mean, because a lot of these people, even the Republicans in Congress, they’re not sorry about what happened on January 6th, they’re just sorry it didn’t work.”
