"When fascism comes to America,... [View all]
https://quoteinvestigator.com/2017/07/28/flag/"When fascism comes to America,it will be wrapped in a flag and carrying the cross.”
As quoted in a letter to the editor of a Poughkeepsie, New York newspaper attributed the saying to Sinclair Lewis and incorrectly cited a book that does not contain the expression: 2005 June 18, Poughkeepsie Journal, Section: Letters to the Editor, Letter title: Fascism sneaks in, calls itself freedom, Letter from: Allelu Kurten, Quote Page 4A, Column 2, Poughkeepsie, New York.
Wildly and incorrectly attributed to Sinclair Lewis, but also very true.
