Fetterman, McCormick condemn Democrats’ use of terms like ‘fascism,’ and ‘Nazism,’ on Fox

Condemnation of Extreme Rhetoric

Pennsylvania's senators, John Fetterman and Dave McCormick, urged political civility in a joint appearance with Bret Baier on Fox.

Fetterman, a Democrat, and McCormick, a Republican, denounced the use of terms like "fascism" and "Nazism" to criticize President Donald Trump and his allies.

Do not ever, ever, ever compare anyone to Hitler," Fetterman told Baier. "You will incite somebody to say, 'Well, now I feel like I have to stop that, to get them out.'

This call for civility follows the killing of conservative organizer Charlie Kirk, with Fetterman stating, "This is such a dangerous time right now, and you don’t need this opportunity to share your opinions on it."

Fetterman emphasized the need for respect, saying, "Just, it’s appalling, and allow folks enough space to grieve. The man hasn’t even been buried yet."
