Kelly told the New York Times that Trump meets the definition of a fascist and also said he observed the former president on multiple occasions praising Adolf Hitler.
Thirteen former Trump White House officials signed an open letter backing up former Trump chief of staff John Kelly, who told the New York Times that Trump fits the definition of a fascist.
“We applaud General Kelly for highlighting in stark details the danger of a second Trump term. Like General Kelly, we did not take the decision to come forward lightly,” the letter said. “We are all lifelong Republicans who served our country. However, there are moments in history where it becomes necessary to put country over party. This is one of those moments.”
Politico was first to report on the letter.
“Anthony Scaramucci” - not a great name of you’re looking for credibility… But hopefully the other signers and sheer numbers will carry weight.
It’s rats jumping ship, and pretty telling when Trump’s “brand” is deemed too toxic for even some of the biggest shit heads in his orbit. And that is how the media should be framing it, if they didn’t want a fascist in charge at least.
Who let him sign?!
He did it so fast no one noticed.
We should have expected it from the man who has a whole unit of measure named after him.
They let him do the fandango.
Yeah, give him a break. He’s been waiting over 166 Scaramuccis for this.
Mama mia
I disagree, I watch The Rest is Politics podcast which he does with Katty Kay from the BBC and find him very thoughtful and sincere. He actually has great insights.
