Vice President Kamala Harris didn’t hesitate to answer Tuesday night when she was asked if she believes former President Donald Trump is a fascist: “Yes, I do.”

She used the first minutes of a CNN town hall — where she had the stage to herself because Trump turned down a debate — to outline her case that Trump would be an authoritarian leader.

But the Democratic presidential candidate said voters don’t have to take her word for it — they can take it from some members of his own party.
