Disney’s Frozen and Beauty and the Beast star Josh Gad says President Joe Biden should pin the label of “full fascism” on supporters of former President Donald Trump — suggesting Biden did not go far enough by calling the MAGA movement “semi-fascism” at a private event with donors this Thursday.
“Yes. He should have called it FULL fascism,” Gad wrote in response to a CNN headline, which read, “McCarthy calls on Biden to apologize after ‘semi-fascism’ remark.”

“If you don’t like being called a fascist, stop doing fascist stuff maybe?” the Californication actor added in a follow-up tweet, without ever elaborating on his definition of “fascist stuff.”

Not everyone, however, agrees with Gad’s assessment.
President Biden characterized “MAGA Republicans” as a “threat” to American democracy during his divisive political speech at the Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on Thursday night. This approach, as well as his use of uniformed Marines in his stagecraft, did not generate a positive response — with even some of Trump’s harshest critics admitting that Biden had made a mistake.
