...
Dershowitz was highly critical of Trump during the 2016 election. NBC News reported on Sunday that in a 2016 book, the law professor called him a "destabilizing and unpredictable candidate" who "openly embraces fringe conspiracy theories peddled by extremists."
Dershowitz repeatedly criticized Trump for not disavowing the alt-right movement and worried Trump would "embolden and strengthen" fascist elements in society.
"I think he's a canny politician and he knows he can't win this election without the alt right -- without getting people to vote for him, whose views he disapproves of. But he hasn't had the courage to really stand up to the alt right in the way he should," he said on The Jamie Weinstein Show in 2016. I'm adding these last three paragraphs to underscore the point that the President' supporters on this board are unlikely to read this far and thus continue cozily ensconced in their respective bubbles.
"There is a kind of fascist mentality in the world today. I don't worry that Donald Trump will try to govern that way. I do worry that he will embolden and strengthen some of the fascist elements in our society," added Dershowitz.
