Ex-Trump aides emerge to back Kelly's harsh warnings

Source: Politico

More than a dozen former Trump administration officials on Friday came out in support of former chief of staff John Kelly, who went on the record this week to say the former president fits the definition of a fascist, would govern like a dictator and has no concept of the Constitution.

In a new letter, shared exclusively with POLITICO, the former Trump administration officials — some of the officials have been outspoken Trump critics for years — stated, “this is who Donald Trump is.”

“The revelations General Kelly brought forward are disturbing and shocking. But because we know Trump and have worked for and alongside him, we were sadly not surprised by what General Kelly had to say,” the letter states.

“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. 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” the letter states. “Everyone should heed General Kelly’s warning.”

They’d literally see it as a tremendous honor to have TSF physically assault their own family members.

His policies will in fact harm all of us; however they believe its the ultimate in “owning the libs..”

Dangerous MF’ers…

I know: better late than never. But since millions of people have already voted, it's too damn late. If they had done something before now we wouldn't be here today with a convicted felon running to be the fascist dictator of America.

This deserves more ad effort. The fact that the prisoners received sex change operations because of a Trump policy deserves more ad effort. While Trump’s people run ads accusing Harris of every crime committed by an immigrant and telling people they’re not safe, Harris runs ads talking about a national sales tax. Folks, these things are not equal. I hope it’s not too late. Having a rally with Bruce Springsteen in front of people who were already voting for her isn’t going to sway the undecided.
