The debate over whether this is 'fascism' is a silly semantic one in which a small minority mean 'completed fascist authoritarianism' and the vast majority mean 'the people in power say and do things that demonstrate completed fascist authoritarianism is what they want to achieve.'

Of course he was hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein, doing whatever they all did with him. Of course Larry Summers' mind was not merely dull, but noxious and cruel. Powerful white men take for granted their mutual protection, such that they rarely worry when they expose themselves for what they are.
