Obama called Trump a 'fascist' during phone call, Sen. Kaine says in new Clinton film

Barack Obama called Donald Trump a "fascist" in a phone conversation with Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia during the 2016 presidential election, Kaine says in a video clip featured in an upcoming documentary about Hillary Clinton.

Kaine, Clinton's running mate on the Democratic ticket, recounts the call during an exchange with Clinton that was caught on camera in 2016. Kaine's wife, Anne Holton, was also present.

"President Obama called me last night and said: 'Tim, remember, this is no time to be a purist. You've got to keep a fascist out of the White House,'" Kaine says before adding with a laugh that Obama "knows me and he knows that I could tend to err."

Clinton replies, nodding, "I echo that sentiment."

She then puts her hands to her chest and says, "But that's really — the weight of our responsibility is so huge."

Hillary Clinton unleashes on onetime rival Bernie Sanders JAN. 21, 202001:07 The clip appears in an episode of "Hillary," a four-part documentary series that will be available on Hulu on March 6. The docuseries, which premieres at the Sundance Film Festival on Saturday at a screening Clinton was scheduled to attend, chronicles her early life, rise to national prominence and political career.

NBC News was given access to the series this week. Nanette Burstein, an Oscar-nominated filmmaker who directed "Hillary," confirmed in an email that the clip of Kaine was recorded by a camera team hired by the Clinton campaign.

The date and location of the conversation are not clear.

Obama has rarely publicly attacked Trump since leaving office, and his description of Trump as a fascist — as recalled by Kaine — is a far sharper attack than he offered in public during or after the campaign.

It’s such a silly term, outside of the 1930s or 40s.

Why? Did Trump use the IRS as a weapon against the opposition? Did he use the FBI and intel agencies to investigate a political opponent?

Why is Hulu making a documentary about a 2-time loser?

What ever became of Sen. Tim Kaine?

OMG - I went to check what happened to him he’s STILL the junior senator in Virginia! (since 2013). He fits right in with the vile Governor of Virginia who’s hard at work trying to strip Americans of their right to bear arms!

Tim Kaine was chosen because he was the only “male” politician that wouldn’t overshadow Hillary! on the campaign trail.

So let me get this straight. Obama uses the powers of the executive branch to persecute Republicans and the Donald is the fascist? Right?

Obama’s crimes have already be adequately documented in various books. Only the Donald can break through the media blockade and make the narrative mainstream. Let’s pray for indictments by Barr-Durham to energize the scandal.

This is such bull**it. She's so grandiose - with zero justification.

But Obama is the one who directed the GM CEO (among others, if I recall) to resign.
And the puke DID.

Does Hulu talk about Hillary Clinton’s personal relationship with Saul Alinsky?

Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and of the economy which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.

Let's look at this. If you toss the far right, insert rabid islam in place of ultranationalism.........hmmm, eveything else appears to be a perfect fit for Obama Bin Moslem and his administration.
