President Joe Biden accused former President Donald Trump and ‘extreme’ Republicans of ‘semi-fascism’ at a fundraiser Thursday evening at a $3.1 million Bethesda, Maryland home.
‘What we’re seeing now, is either the beginning or the death knell of an extreme MAGA philosophy,’ Biden told about 100 wealthy donors. ‘It’s not just Trump, it’s the entire philosophy that underpins the – I’m going to say something – it’s like semi-fascism.’
The president warned that not only were reproductive rights on the ballot in November – but gay marriage – and the GOP could, again, go after Obamacare.
‘This is not your father’s Republican party. This is a different deal,’ he said, repeating a line he’s often delivered at fundraisers.
The small gathering in Bethesda, a tony suburb of Washington, D.C., was expected to raise $1 million for the Democratic National Committee and the Democratic Grassroots Victory Fund as the Democrats rake in cash ahead of the November midterms.

The DNC said Thursday the party had raised ‘a midterm record’ of $255 million this cycle and $92 million so far this year.
A spokeperson for the Republican National Committee hammered the president for returning from his two-state, three-home vacation Wednesday, only to turn around and headline a fundraiser in the ritzy D.C. suburbs the next day.
‘In typical Biden fashion, instead of fixing the multiple crises he created, he comes back from weeks of vacation only to hobnob with liberal elites inside the beltway,’ said RNC spokesperson Emma Vaughn. ‘If only Biden was as focused on serving hardworking Americans and families as he was on planning his vacations.’
Later Thursday, he’ll headline a Democratic National Committee rally at Richmond Montgomery High School in Rockville, Maryland.
There he’ll be joined by DNC Chair Jaime Harrison, Democratic nominee for Maryland governor, Wes Moore, Democratic nominee for Maryland lieutenant governor, Aruna Miller and Democratic nominee for Maryland comptroller, Brooke Lierman.
Maryland Sen. Ben Cardin, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, who represents Maryland, and Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin, a key member of the January 6 House select committee and Maryland Democratic Party Chair Yvette Lewis are also slated to attend.
First Lady Jill Biden was originally scheduled to attend, but remains in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware after testing positive for COVID-19 again Wednesday, a rebound case from taking the anviral drug Paxlovid.
