'The Daily Show' host Trevor Noah fires off tweetstorm arguing that Donald Trump is a fascist
Comedy Central
Trevor Noah, the host of Comedy Central's "The Daily Show," ripped Republican frontrunner Donald Trump in a Wednesday-afternoon tweetstorm.
Noah contended that Trump is indeed a fascist, based on a list of the defining features of fascism - like "fear of outsiders," and "resentment of national humiliation" - sourced from The New York Times.
Noah further used Trump's own words to prove his point.
Here's Noah's tweetstorm:
