Lowering the Temperature: Rep. Maxwell Frost Says 'Fascism Is Not on the Way; It Is Already Here'

It astounds this editor that Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was assassinated just last Wednesday, and after a week of trying to pin the murder on a man from a Republican family who thought Kirk wasn't conservative enough, the news cycle has been completely taken over by Disney and ABC yanking late-night host Jimmy Kimmel off the air. Kirk was shot in the throat and died, but it took Kimmel being pulled to get an emotional reaction from the Democrats.

Several Democrats got together at the podium on Thursday, after a week of calling for everyone to "lower the temperature," to announce that with Kimmel's cancellation, fascism had arrived in the United States. Here's Rep. Maxwell Frost, standing in front of a solemn and bearded Sen. Chris Murphy, who warned that "something dark might be coming" after Kirk was killed in cold blood.

This is over a so-called comedian being canceled after making outrageously false statements on the air?

He is inflaming the country and doesn't care.

I am ashamed he represents part of my state in Congress.

Ah yes, when in doubt and drowning, always double down.

Maxwell Frost likely can’t define facism.

He can learn about it from Randi Weingarten's new book, "Why Fascists Fear Teachers."
