SEAN DUFFY (FOX BUSINESS HOST): After November 5, we have to come back together as a country. And if you're using this language against Donald Trump, what you're really saying is half of America, those who support him, are also fascist. Those are also Nazis. And it's really hard to come back and unify as a country if one half thinks the other half are Nazis. Again, campaigns are tough, use tough language, use aggressive language, but this kind of language makes it hard to put that family back together. And this country, more than anything, needs the American family back together.
HARRIS FAULKNER (ANCHOR): I love hearing you say that, and it makes me think, too, this is hate speech now. I mean you are quoting antifa, which the 'fa' stands for fascism. So now are these just the glorified, more better paid members of antifa on the left? The vice president, wouldn't she want to separate herself from that? And by the way, they were a cause of a lot of the rioting that went, not the peaceful protesting, but the rioting that went on post-George Floyd. I mean, it is, it's like a glorified overpaid group of left leaders now is part of antifa. It's a question. I wonder if that's how they see themselves.
