GOP strategist who once worked for Giuliani says the Republican has basically embraced 'neofascism'

A GOP strategist has likened the Republican Party under the influence of former President Donald Trump to "neofascism."

Susan Del Percio, who has advised both Republicans and Democrats - including then-Mayor Rudy Giuliani of New York City and Gov. Andrew Cuomo - gave the blistering comments in a Monday interview on MSNBC's "The Reid Out."

She was discussing the decision of Texas GOP chairman Allen West to enter the the state's gubernatorial race. West has attracted criticism for his association with the far-right QAnon movement, having attended a conference where several prominent QAnon figures were present in June.

Del Percio told MSNBC: "Really, I've been looking for a new word for 'Trumpism' because I hate it, because I think it goes deeper than just Donald Trump within the Republican Party.
