Steven Calabresi, a popular conservative and co-founder of the Federalist Society, has called for President Donald Trump’s impeachment after he made “fascist” comments about delaying the November elections.
Calabresi said he voted for Trump in the 2016 election and opposed Trump’s impeachment in a New York Times Op-Ed.
He called Trump’s remarks “fascistic” and called on conservatives to denounce them.
Trump does not have the authority to push back the election.

A popular conservative has called for President Donald Trump’s impeachment, saying the president made “fascistic” comments about delaying the November election.
In a New York Times Op-Ed, Steven Calabresi wrote that while he supported Trump in the 2016 election and opposed Trump’s impeachment as well as Robert Mueller’s investigation, the president comments on postponing the election have gone too far.
“But I am frankly appalled by the president’s recent tweet seeking to postpone the November election. Until recently, I had taken as political hyperbole the Democrats’ assertion that President Trump is a fascist. But this latest tweet is fascistic and is itself grounds for the president’s immediate impeachment again by the House of Representatives and his removal from office by the Senate,” Calabresi wrote.
Calabresi is a co-founder of the Federalist Society , a group of conservatives and libertarians that advocates for placing a “premium on individual liberty, traditional values, and the rule of law.”
On Thursday, Trump suggested that the US should postpone the election over erroneous fears that mail-in voting is fraudulent. (It’s not.)
