Sen. David McCormick (R-PA) accidentally said the word that the Trump administration would rather him not say during an interview on Fox News, and his attempt to cover it up astonished a political analyst.
McCormick appeared on the Fox News show “America’s Newsroom,” where he defended Trump’s decision to start a war with Iran by arguing that it was “likely” that Iran would attack America during President Donald Trump’ssecond term. During his answer, McCormick nearly described the Trump administration as a “regime,” a word that, as liberal political analyst David Pakman noted in a new reaction video,is used to describe authoritarian governments, not democracies.
Pakman said McCormick’s “Freudian slip” was a tacit acknowledgment of what many Americans have been thinking for a while — that the Trump administration had crossed the line into authoritarianism.
“There’s a lot of history wrapped up in this,” Pakman said.
Pakman also noted several similarities between the Trump administration and other authoritarian regimes.
“This is not a traditional president who respects democratic norms,” he said. “This is a movement based on personal loyalty to the authoritarian idea that what Trump wants, Trump gets, and nobody should dare to question that.”
