"What we're seeing now is the beginning or the death knell of an extreme MAGA philosophy. It's not just Trump, it's the entire philosophy that underpins the — I'm going to say something — it's like semi-fascism," Biden said. 

Pressed to explain that comment, White House Press Secretary said the president “very clearly, very powerfully” laid out the choice in front of Americans.
