VP Kamala Harris decided to give a three minute speech repeating lies placed in The Atlantic on Tuesday.
Former President Donald Trump’s chief of staff John Kelly said he “admired” Adolf Hitler.
No, Trump brought up Rommel. Maybe someone should remind Harris and everyone else that those in charge of the Allies even admired Rommel:
During the height of Rommel’s success in North Africa, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill sang his praises before the House of Commons. “We have a very daring and skillful opponent against us,” Churchill declared, “and, may I say across the havoc of war, a great general.” George Patton, Bernard Montgomery and other top Allied generals likewise expressed their respect for him, and Rommel responded in kind, saying of Patton that “we saw the most astonishing achievement in mobile warfare,” and that “Montgomery never made a serious strategic mistake.”
Numerous people have debunked the details in the story.
Anyway, here is the transcript so you don’t have to listen to her:
Yesterday, we learned that Donald Trump’s former chief of staff, John Kelly, a retired four star general, confirmed that while Donald Trump was president, he said he wanted generals like Adolf Hitler had. Donald Trump said that because he does not want a military that is loyal to the United States Constitution.He wants a military that is loyal to him. He wants a military who will be loyal to him personally, one that will obey his orders even when he tells them to break the law or abandon their oath to the constitution of the United States.In just the past week, Donald Trump has repeatedly called his fellow Americans the “enemy from within” and even said that he would use the United States military to go after American citizens and let’s be clear about who he considers to be the enemy from within.Anyone who refuses to bend a knee or dares to criticize him would qualify in his mind as the enemy within. Like judges, like journalists, like nonpartisan election officials, it is deeply troubling. And incredibly dangerous that Donald Trump would invoke Adolf Hitler, the man who is responsible for the death of 6 million Jews and hundreds of thousands of Americans.All of this is further evidence for the American people of who Donald Trump really is. This is a window into who Donald Trump really is. From the people who know him best, from the people who worked with him side by side in the oval office and in the situation room.And it is clear from John Kelly’s words that Donald Trump is someone who, I quote, certainly falls into the general definition of fascists. Who, in fact, vowed to be a dictator on day one and vow to use the military as his personal militia to carry out his personal and political vendettas.Donald Trump is increasingly unhinged and unstable. And in a second term, people like John Kelly would not be there to be the guardrails against his propensities and his actions. Those who once tried to stop him from pursuing his worst impulses would no longer be there and no longer be there to reign him in.So the bottom line is this. We know what Donald Trump wants. He wants unchecked power. The question in 13 days will be what do the American people want? Thank you.
Trump campaign has responded.
“Kamala Harris is a stone-cold loser who is increasingly desperate because she is flailing, and her campaign is in shambles. That is why she continues to peddle outright lies and falsehoods that are easily disproven. The fact is that Kamala’s dangerous rhetoric is directly to blame for the multiple assassination attempts against President Trump and she continues to stoke the flames of violence all in the name of politics. She is despicable and her grotesque behavior proves she is wholly unfit for office.” – Steven Cheung, Trump Campaign Communications Director
