An MSNBC contributor and academic suggested on Monday that left-wing condemnation of the right is not polarizing like Republican rhetoric, because it is "correct."

"Deadline: White House" host Nicolle Wallace opened the segment by discussing a recent New York Times report comparing rhetoric from Democrats and Republicans. Wallace said the study indicated Republicans who objected to the 2020 presidential election are far more likely to use "devil terms" to disparage their political opposition.

MSNBC contributor and Morgan State University professor Jason Johnson suggested the study did not go far enough, claiming there is no equivalency between Republican and Democrat rhetoric in America because everything said about Republicans is true.

"It’s actually even worse than what’s reported because you have to understand that when it comes to terms that are considered polarizing, terms like 'fascism' and 'Nazi' are considered to be polarizing terms, but unfortunately, those are the correct ways to describe what is happening with Republicans," he claimed.

He said that the entire study’s findings would need to be assessed in a new light.

"So, in many respects, if you took some of that data out, it would be worse," he claimed. "You would see five times as many Republicans using these devil terms, using terms that are absolutely dangerous and polarizing to society. And unfortunately, oftentimes, for I think too long, their rhetoric was put on an equal ground with Democrats and people who are in favor of democracy."

He added further that Democrats labeling Republican opposition as "fascist" is not really polarizing because it is accurate.

"The Republicans will say ‘You guys are part of a terrible evil cult that’s in favor of eating children and you’re pedophiles and you’re groomers’ - and Democrats and democracy defenders would say ‘Yeah, that’s the kind of language you use in fascism’ and then the report would be ‘Democrats call Republicans fascist and Republicans say the Democrats are groomers,’" he suggested. "These are not on equal terms. One is the truth and the other is a lie, and that’s what we have to make sure we talk about every single day, because otherwise it makes it looks like that kind of behavior and language is normalized."

Referring to their opposition as "fascist" has become a common canard used by the American left.

MSNBC has brought up fascism, or used the term "fascist," 1,614 times this year alone. Meanwhile, CNN by comparison used the terms "fascist" or "fascism" approximately 491 times over the same period.

Part of the rise in the term’s usage may be from the Democratic Party’s leader President Joe Biden slamming millions of Trump-supporters as "semi-fascist," a term which has since been defended and built upon by liberal commentators in media. 

Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan accused Republicans on Tuesday of trying to distract voters with the issue of explicit material being allowed in public schools.

Whitmer, who is seeking a second term as Michigan's chief executive this year, said during a gubernatorial debate that Republicans were enflaming the issue for political gain. 

"I see how politicians try to wedge communities against one another," said Whitmer. "It is dangerous and it is selfish." 

The governor accused her GOP challenger, Tudor Dixon, of using the issue to obscure a conservative agenda and ties to former Trump-era Education Secretary and Michigan political heavyweight Betsy Devos.

"Do you really think that books pose a greater danger to our kids and gun violence does? She's trying to divert attention from the fact that she is bankrolled by Betsy DeVos."

Dixon, who has gained ground in recent polls, said during the debate that Whitmer was unwilling to stand with parents concerned about explicit material in schools, including LGBTQ books. 

"We're talking about pornography in schools. Parents have risen up across the state," said the Republican nominee. "They've asked Gretchen Whitmer to comment and she's been silent on this issue." 

Whitmer said there was a middle ground to be staked out on the issue by allowing parents to express their concerns to local school boards, while simultaneously ensuring children feel safe and accepted. 

The issue of explicit content in Michigan's school libraries has garnered national attention. Earlier this month, Muslim Americans in Dearborn turned out in high numbers to protest the school district's decision to include LGBTQ books in school libraries. The parents claimed that many of the books were sexually explicit and inappropriate for young children. 

"We're not worried about [LGBT] people," said a Dearborn parent, who attended the school board meeting. "We're worried about our children. If they wind up gay at 18, who cares? But the school library shouldn't be letting 10-year-olds read books that detail sexual acts." 

Gov. Whitmer also addressed the state's closure of public schools during the COVID pandemic.
