As enthusiasm for Vice President Kamala Harris wanes, Democrats are pulling out all the stops to malign her opponent.
A recent hit piece published by The Atlantic will be featured on a billboard outside of former President Donald Trump’s rally Thursday in Las Vegas. The board will be emblazoned with the controversial headline “Trump: ‘I Need the Kind of Generals That Hitler Had'” which reported on leaked comments from General John Kelly, who served as Trump’s chief-of-staff.
DNC Chair Jaime Harrison made a statement to Politico announcing the billboard.
“From threatening to turn the military on American citizens to praising Hitler, Donald Trump is a danger to American democracy. Trump is increasingly unstable, unhinged, and out for unchecked power through his Project 2025 agenda,” he said. “Trump already tried to overthrow the will of Nevada once and there’s no doubt he’ll try to do it again.”
Former White House chief of staff Nick Ayers was one of many who debunked the latest hit piece:
I’ve avoided commenting on intra-staff leaks or rumors or even lies as it relates to my time at the White House but General Kelly’s comments regarding President Trump are too egregious to ignore. I was with each of them more than most, and his commentary is *patently false.* pic.twitter.com/T167w9GSv1

I worked for John Kelly and don’t believe him. His last ditch effort to stop Donald Trump is desperate. This is a personal vendetta from a staffer who failed at his job and believed as a chief of staff that he should have been the ultimate decisionmaker. President Trump loves…

Wait, are you talking about the debunked and desperate article that Trump is literally Hitler?
Did 51 intelligence agencies confirm this one too?

Yeah Trumps momentum is full steam ahead. Dems are cooked.

We were overdue for a new Literally Hitler™️ and MeToo story. It is entertaining to see what they will say about Trump because they don’t want him within 100 miles of the oval office.

Hold up… so Kelly didn’t remember Trump said that until 7 years & 2 weeks before the election?

They won’t be changing any minds about voting for him, but they may trigger a psycho or two – which increasingly appears to be their goal. It’s despicable.
