Daily Kos Flashback. FDR’s Endorsement of Benito Mussolini Is Stunningly Tone Deaf and Troubling


The Daily Kos reports:

Earlier last century, President Franklin Roosevelt endorsed Italian dictator Benito Mussolini as an admirable Italian gentleman.

He also said, in a letter to an American envoy, of all people, that I am much interested and deeply impressed by what he has accomplished.

People, I think it’s time to reassess Mr. Roosevelt.
You know some people do see similarities between the New Deal and fascism.
