Episode description

For several years The Atlantic staff writer David Frum cautioned against the "too-easy" use of the word "fascism" to describe Donald Trump's movement. But he now believes the word is useful for political analysis of American politics. There are different "varieties of fascism," Frum says, but some characteristics are clearly present in the reactions to the January 6 attack and the recent rhetoric from Trump. Brian Stelter asks Frum to assess how the former president should be covered by the news media.
