Princeton Prof Calls Trump’s ‘DC Takeover’ a ‘Slide Towards Fascism’

This is going to be the ongoing narrative of the left. It’s so tiresome.

The College Fix reports:

Princeton professor: Trump’s ‘DC takeover’ a ‘slide towards fascism’A Princeton University professor claimed recently that President Trump’s “takeover” of Washington DC is a sign we’re “sliding towards fascism.”Appearing on “Democracy Now!,” Professor Khalil Muhammad (pictured) said Trump “has consistently scapegoated Black and Brown people to either gain celebrity or political capital” and is “enacting an authoritarian agenda” in his second term as chief exec.How original.Muhammad, Princeton’s inaugural Professor of African American Studies and Public Affairs (and director of the Institutional Antiracism and Accountability Project), said Trump is using “militarization of law enforcement” to “either coerce or control scapegoated populations.”He cited the National Guard in Los Angeles as another example.“And I just want to remind everyone that the Trump administration elected in 2016 came in riding on a lie about American carnage in American cities,” Muhammad continued to hosts Juan González and Amy Goodman.“This was also a period of dramatically declined crime rates and violent crime rates, in particular, across U.S. cities.”Indeed, the segment claims the nation’s capital reached “a 30-year low in violent crime” this past January, a common refrain in the mainstream media the last week or so. (Of course, there is (a lot) more to the story.)Muhammad said “what is consistent is Donald Trump’s use of racist rhetoric, racist ideas, and the use of policing to enact a domestic policy agenda.” In addition to the National Guard in LA, Muhammad said Trump wants to do the same in New York and Chicago — yet he pardoned numerous January 6 “insurrectionists.”
