Democrats’ social media team pounces on Treasury Secretary’s beverage gaffe to reference Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s alleged history of problem drinking
I can expect you know literally anything about Scott Bessent given this acute political insight. I didn’t know non-fascist Nazis could be a thing, but now I’ll be on the lookout.
So is he a “card-carrying Nazi fascist” exclusively because this disgusting, wealth-stealing, crony capitalist vermin supports Trump and is in his cabinet for self-enrichment, or did you have a complaint that makes him a “Nazi fascist” outside of that?
Genuinely curious what else you think this man has done to make him a literal, avowed Nazi; I’ve cut the snark for this part.
Probably the part where he was a major power broker in getting Trump elected the second time, and has now been rewarded with a high position in his government?
Trump’s second campaign was literally ‘I’ll overthrow the government if I have to, I’ll deport all the immigrants, I’ll be a dictator from day one’. I’d say anyone that then spends every waking moment and a significant amount of their own money is at least well on the way to being a fascist.
Agreed it makes him an accomplice to fascism inasmuch as hopping on the bandwagon and materially supporting for self-enrichment. I wouldn’t object to people saying that makes him straight-up fascist; it’s a close call for me, where he doesn’t give a shit about the fascist ideology itself and cares exclusively about money, but that’s still doing a fascism™ at the end of the day.
But, you know, they kind of accused him of being an avid neo-Nazi. “Nazi” and “card-carrying” have meanings. Like we really want to pretend the person who called him a “nazi fascist” knows fuck-all about Bessent? Even the tidbit you just shared about how he got here?

Yeah, I agree that ‘neo-Nazi’ is a logical leap for sure with what is publically known of Bessent.
