Former Labor Sec. Robert Reich asks if Gov. DeSantis’ last name is ‘officially a synonym for fascist’
Fox News ^ | August 24, 2022 | Joe Silverstein , Alexa Moutevelis

Posted on 08/25/2022 10:16:47 AM PDT by lowbridge

Robert Reich, who served as Secretary of Labor during the Clinton administration and is currently a Professor of Public Policy at University of California, Berkley, expressed interest on Tuesday in making the last name of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis an official synonym for "fascist."

Reich is not the first left-wing person to dub the governor a fascist. It has become a more common occurrence as DeSantis has increased his national profile, some think with an eye toward running for the presidency in 2024.

"The View's" Sunny Hostin previously called DeSantis a "fascist and a bigot," MSNBC host Joy Reid call him "an authoritarian on the fascist spectrum," Democrat strategist Fernand Amandi said DeSantis is "what fascism and autocracy sounds like," and liberal commentator Nathan Schneider claimed "DeSantis is following in the footsteps of every fascist regime throughout history."

Reich joined the fray tweeting as Florida primary voting was underway, "Just wondering if ‘DeSantis’ is now officially a synonym for ‘fascist.’"

Thank you, Fox News, for reporting what this absolute nobody has to say. A Labor Scretary from 20 years ago?

And thanks to OP for giving this nobody a platform.

Hi.

In the fwiw department, I would pay Robert Reich $1000 if he would be my yard leprechaun for 4 hours.

Reich, typical RAT tactic; accuse your opponent of what you, yourself are. Reich is a commie.

Sure mr. 3reich. Classic alinsky there mr. 3reich. Only glass is more transparent and only cancer deserves quicker and more permanent removal.

Is Former Labor Sec. Robert Reich’ name a synonym for sawed off pip-squeak?

Childless 47 year old double vaxxed, double boosted college educated Karens are getting their mindless marching orders:

Ron Desantis = bad.

Democrats think Republicans want the Handmaid’s Tail, while Democrats live it.

If only dueling were not outlawed. That would stop most of this nonsense.

As a famous boxer once said, “You talk to me under the mistaken assumption that you will not get punched in the face.”

I’m pretty sure Robert Reich’s last name is a very clear synonym for fascism!

“Just wondering if ‘DeSantis’ is now officially a synonym for ‘fascist.’”

No, but ‘Robert Reich’ is officially a synonym for ‘moron’.

Anybody else here hear about DeSantis’ comments day before yesterday roasting the WEF Globalists? WEF = DOA in Florida.
