Ousted CNN anchor Don Lemon claimed during a recent interview that the MAGA movement was \u201cAmerica\u2019s version\u201d of the Nazi Party, just \u201cwithout the Holocaust and all that stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lemon, joining hosts Karman Wong and Travis Dhanraj, made the remarks during an appearance on the \u201cCan\u2019t Be Censored\u201d podcast. Although he acknowledged President Donald Trump was not actually working to orchestrate a genocide like Nazi Germany, Lemon argued Trump\u2019s \u201cMake America Great Again\u201d movement was the \u201cclosest\u201d thing anyone had seen to it.<\/p>\n

\u201cMAGA is the closest thing to the modern version of the Nazi Party. This is America\u2019s version. It\u2019s the closest thing, without the Holocaust and all that stuff,\u201d Lemon said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost intelligent people or logical people, when they get new information and that information is negative or not factual, then they change their minds and go, \u2018Oh, well I wish I\u2019d known better, and now that I have this information, then I can readjust,\u2019\u201d Lemon claimed, arguing that Trump supporters responded differently to new information because they were driven by other motivations.<\/p>\n

He went on to argue that Trump voters didn\u2019t care about affordability because what they were actually voting for was \u201cwhite supremacy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re afraid of, they\u2019ve been co-opted by many people in the Republican Party and Donald Trump to think that their failures are due to something else: the other, the black person, the woman, the Latino, the immigrant, the migrant. That person is taking your job. That person is the reason that you don\u2019t have the financial or career success that you think you should have,\u201d Lemon said, suggesting that the Trump administration was adopting the strategy used by Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler when he attempted to convince the German people that the Jews were the source of their problems.<\/p>\n

Dhanraj asked whether Lemon believed that Trump\u2019s administration had gone \u201coff the rails,\u201d and Lemon quickly interrupted.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not off the rails. We\u2019ve careened into fascism. The president is a fascist,\u201d Lemon insisted.<\/p>\n
