Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-N.J.) condemned President Trump’s warning of possible violence if the Democrats take back the House in the fall, calling it “fascism in the flesh.”
“This is fascism in the flesh. This is the language of a fanatic that could be lifted from a tyrant’s playbook,” Pascrell tweeted Wednesday. “This is not a warning but an incitement. Unless we stand united against it."

The president told evangelical leaders Monday that Democrats will “violently” overturn Republican gains if they win back the lower chamber.
“They will overturn everything that we've done and they'll do it quickly and violently, and violently,” the president said.
“There's violence. When you look at antifa and you look at some of these groups — these are violent people,” he continued.
Some factions of antifa, a loosely organized group of self-described anti-fascists, have condoned violence as an appropriate response to what they consider fascism. Most recently, some antifa members were arrested Saturday when they clashed with police at a “Blue Lives Matter” rally.
Trump and other Republicans have tried to link antifa with liberals as they try to stave off a "blue wave" in November. A RealClearPolitics average of polls currently shows Democrats with a nearly 7-point lead over the GOP on the generic ballot.
CNN’s Don Lemon on Tuesday appeared to defend antifa after the president’s comments about the group to evangelical leaders.
“Listen, no organization is perfect. There was some violence. No one condones violence, but there were different reasons for antifa and for these neo-Nazis to be there,” Lemon said. “One, racists, fascists, the other group, fighting racist fascists. There is a distinction there.”
CNN chief legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin called Trump’s criticism of antifa an “appeal to racism,” saying the group “is widely perceived as an African-American association.”
“Let's be clear also about what's going on here, the theme here is ‘I'm Donald Trump and I'll protect you from the scary black people,’” Toobin said.
Trump is now supported by 36%of Black Americans!! Antifa are members of the DATZI party ( democrat Socialist) are very similar to the German Natzi party ( National Socialist), Also Antifa is a communist front for george soros and violently attacks Trump supporters. But that will change. I think Trump men have just about had enough. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2018/08/16/trump-approval-rating-african-americans-rasmussen-poll/1013212002/
At some of these recent protests by groups like Patriot Prayer and The Proud Boys, hundreds of counter-protesters show up with signs denouncing “racism,” but none of the right-wing groups are saying anything about racism, and no evidence is ever shown that they are promoting racism. News reporters interview the counter-protesters and accept THEIR definition of who the right-wingers are and what they believe, and never show any evidence that the accusations are true.
ANTIFA is 100 percent white..never seen a black person in the bunch..so again commie media are NOTHING BUT LIAR..everyday they tell us their plan, that they want Conservatives dead..the fact that they defend a terrorist organization like ANTIFA tells you that..they call ANTIFA Anti Fascist, they are COMMUNIST that is their goal, that is the commie media’s goal, but yeah let them keep repeating that they are not biased
I thought bill parcells was the ex cowboys coach who sucked.
Speaking of violence, has anyone else noticed how the media are pretending that the softball-field shootings in Virginia and the murder of the Dallas cops by BLM supporters never happened, and that the only violence that is ever talked about is what happened in Charlottesville?
Dem lawmaker slams Trump. Dog bites man.
The only people I’ve heard talking about violence if the ‘RATS win the house are the Nazi ‘RATS like Passhole.
Good point. Clenched fists - including actual clenched fists and t-shirts and banners depicting clenched fists, with their clear threat of violence - are ubiquitous at leftist rallies, but are rarely - if ever - seen at conservative events.
Antifa are members of the DATZI party ............. More like the Datzinists, a combo of both the Nazis and the Commies. I just saw a commercial of the Democrat nominee for Gov of FLA. SOBS, lots of free stuff, 15hr wage, marijuana, clean water, (I guess he has a secret formula to rid us of the red tide?) Nothing about more jobs, I guess Scott/Trump brought enough in? FLA, the battle ground where the mid west and the N/E meet.
Um ... he's not inciting violence - he's warning that the left will be violent. And if you want to stand against it, condemn your own side.
What a dolt.
Almost every headline is distorted into a lie about this: he warned of leftist violence, which has been going on for 2-3 years now.
We couldnt have gotten luckier with that democrat socialist. We will whip them so bad it will be humiliating. I really think Desantis will be ready for the presidency in 2026. I am not strong on pence.
Hitler Youth.
Trump singlehandedly has these Leftist kooks breaking down.
Unfortunately, POTUS Trump got this wrong.
The Violence will occur IF the Rats do not win back the House.
“I am far more concerned what “they” will do when they lose!”
Exactly. When they lose they will come completely off the rails and there will be violence in all of the demtard cities. The media narrative will be all about Russian interference in the election again. It will be fun to watch but best to have your weapons clean and spare mags loaded.
