PITTSBURGH — Rep. Chris Deluzio (D-PA) is under fire after widespread airing of four-year-old remarks in which he called former President Donald Trump’s voters a “horde of budding blood-and-soil fascists.”

The Pennsylvania Democrat said that sentence in a political podcast he taped ahead of the 2020 presidential election. At the time, Deluzio was a policy scholar for the University of Pittsburgh. He made the comments during a Save Us From The Johns program now called Save Us From The Op-Eds.
