In a statement delivered from the steps of the vice president’s residence in Washington, Harris reacted to an interview Trump’s former Chief of Staff John Kelly gave to The New York Times yesterday, once again recounting Trump’s admiration for the Nazi dictator.
Harris was grave in her assessment of Trump’s words.
“It is deeply troubling and incredibly dangerous that Donald Trump would invoke Adolf Hitler, the man who is responsible for the deaths of six million Jews and hundreds of thousands of Americans. This is more evidence to the American public of the true character of Donald Trump. She could be lying. She is going to get him killed.” She will get him murdered.” pic.twitter.com/Y25V2Ul5AK

Kelly has spoken of Trump’s admiration for Hitler before, saying that over the course of his two-year tenure in the White House Trump repeatedly said, “Hitler did a lot of good things.”
He also stated flat out that Trump is following in the steps of the Nazi strongman.
“He certainly falls into the general definition of fascist, for sure,” Kelly said.
Harris zeroed in on the former president’s envy for “generals like Adolf Hitler had,” as recounted by Kelly.
“Donald Trump said that because he does not want a military that is loyal to the United States Constitution. He wants a loyal military. 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.”
“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,” she said.
“Donald Trump is increasingly unhinged and unstable. In a second term people like John Kelly will not be around to guard against his tendencies and actions. “Those who tried to stop him from following his worst impulses will no longer be around, and they won’t be there to rein in him.”
So the bottom-line is that we know what Donald Trump desires. The bottom line is that we know what Donald Trump wants. The question in 13 days will be: what do the American people want?”
Harris thanked the assembled press and didn’t take any questions.
