First son Hunter Biden expressed grave concerns that a “fascist minority” within the US may rip away American democracy in an interview posted one day after his father’s controversial “garbage” comment.
The 54-year-old heavily insinuated that former President Donald Trump, 78, poses a threat to democracy and fretted that a victory for his father’s predecessor “is potentially the end of America as we’ve known it.”
“Losing our democracy to a fascist minority,” the Biden scion told Politico when asked what he is most worried about. “The vast majority of Americans cherish the freedoms each generation has fought to secure.”
“I believe that Donald Trump means what he says: that he will ‘suspend’ the Constitution when it suits him; that he will be ‘a dictator on day one’; that he will use the military to ‘handle’ his political opponents and that he will seek ‘retribution’ against his perceived enemies.”
Democrats have long harped on Trump’s incendiary rhetoric regarding a second term. Both President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have warned that democracy is at stake on Election Day.
Recently, the left has seized upon characterizations of the 45th president as a fascist by Trump’s former White House chief of staff John Kelly and former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley.
Trump’s former acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, an occasional critic of his onetime boss, recently penned an op-ed for The Post ripping into those claims about him as “deranged.”
