Vice President Harris Reacts to John Kelly's Comments About Former President Trump:
"He does not want a military that is loyal to the United States Constitution, he wants a military that is loyal to him...It is deeply troubling and incredibly dangerous that Donald Trump would invoke Adolf Hitler...this is a window into who Donald Trump really is from the people who know him best."

...this is a BFD report by NYT's Michael Schmidt.
The VP just ensured that it isn't going to be buried and ignored.

...looking at the definition of fascism: Its a far-right authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, Kelly said.
So certainly, in my experience, those are the kinds of things that he thinks would work better in terms of running America, Mr. Kelly said.
He added: Certainly the former president is in the far-right area, hes certainly an authoritarian, admires people who are dictators he has said that. So he certainly falls into the general definition of fascist, for sure.
He certainly prefers the dictator approach to government, Mr. Kelly said.
Mr. Trump never accepted the fact that he wasnt the most powerful man in the world and by power, I mean an ability to do anything he wanted, anytime he wanted, Mr. Kelly said.
