Democrats target ‘fascist’ Donald Trump after former aide claims he said Hitler did ‘good things’ – News18

As the United States election enters its final stages, Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign is stepping up comments from a former senior White House official who served under Donald Trump suggesting the Republican nominee is a “fascist.” In comments published in the New York Times late Tuesday, Trump’s longest-serving White House chief of staff, Gen. John Kelly, said he had witnessed the former president speak favorably of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler. “He commented more than once that, ‘You know, Hitler did some good things, too,'” Kelly told The New York Times. A former Marine general, Kelly served as homeland security secretary in the first months of Trump’s presidency in 2017 before becoming White House chief of staff, a position he held until 2019. In a separate report, The Atlantic magazine reported, citing two unidentified sources, that Trump said at the White House that he needed “the kind of generals that Hitler had.”
