Reiner: '24 is all about stopping 'fascist' Trump from becoming a full-fledged dictator

But veteran actor/director and liberal activist Rob Reiner didn't recite a list of Biden policies during his November 21 appearance on MSNBC's "The Beat." Instead, Reiner emphasized that the 2024 presidential election comes down to one thing: Preventing "fascist" GOP frontrunner Donald Trump from becoming a full-fledged dictator.

Reiner told host Ari Melber, "Every time we have a presidential election, they always say: This is the most important election of our life…. This one actually is…. You have one candidate, Trump, who actually tells you he's going to govern like an authoritarian. He says it. It's not a mystery.
