Opinion: Forced out of office for honoring his oath, Bowers warned in a CNN interview that the Trump GOP is welcoming fascism. Political hyperbole or simple truth?Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers, the staunchest of staunch Republicans, lost the recent primary election because he belongs to a political party and not to a cult.He was a supporter of President Donald Trump.

That’s fascist. And I’m not a fascist.”, part of a recently aired documentary Tapper did on the Jan. 6 investigation.
