'They're talking about banning airplanes in 10 years,' Elizabeth Harrington inaccurately claimed. 'The Democrat is pushing a radical agenda.'
Republican National Committee spokesperson Elizabeth Harrington claimed on Wednesday that"quite a few" of the Democratic 2020 presidential candidates are basically the same as deceased Italian fascist dictator Benito Mussolini.
"And now it's about getting the trains to run on time in Hawaii because they're talking about banning airplanes in 10 years," the GOP spokesperson continued."The Democrat is pushing a radical agenda. We're not going to turn far to the left in 2020. We're going to stick with the progress we've made," she insisted.
Harrington, as Faulkner noted, was equating the progressive policies of many leading Democratic presidential candidates, and left-leaning members of Congress, with socialism. But Mussolini was expelled from the Italian Socialist Party in 1914, several years before he held political power. He went on to found fascism, a right-wing authoritarian and ultranationalist ideology that inspired the likes of Nazi Germany's Adolf Hitler.
