From CNN:
John Kelly, the longest-serving White House chief of staff for Donald Trump, offered his harshest criticism yet of the former president in an exclusive statement to CNN.
And:
“What can I add that has not already been said?” Kelly said, when asked if he wanted to weigh in on his former boss in light of recent comments made by other former Trump officials. “A person that thinks those who defend their country in uniform, or are shot down or seriously wounded in combat, or spend years being tortured as POWs are all ‘suckers’ because ‘there is nothing in it for them.’ A person that did not want to be seen in the presence of military amputees because ‘it doesn’t look good for me.’ A person who demonstrated open contempt for a Gold Star family – for all Gold Star families – on TV during the 2016 campaign, and rants that our most precious heroes who gave their lives in America’s defense are ‘losers’ and wouldn’t visit their graves in France.
“A person who is not truthful regarding his position on the protection of unborn life, on women, on minorities, on evangelical Christians, on Jews, on working men and women,” Kelly continued. “A person that has no idea what America stands for and has no idea what America is all about. A person who cavalierly suggests that a selfless warrior who has served his country for 40 years in peacetime and war should lose his life for treason – in expectation that someone will take action. A person who admires autocrats and murderous dictators. A person that has nothing but contempt for our democratic institutions, our Constitution, and the rule of law.
“There is nothing more that can be said,” Kelly concluded. “God help us.”
That's what John Kelly said about Donald Trump.
That being said, let me pivot for a moment.
Each day on his "Government Official" Facebook page, State Senator Doug Mastriano posts In Memoriam, the pictures and brief bios of members of the military who've been killed in action, often adding, "We won't forget you, brother." at the end.
Perhaps it's sincere, perhaps it's just cheap political cover. I'll let you decide.
On the other hand, those KIA are exactly the same people that Donald Trump berated as suckers. Each "brother" killed in action left behind a Gold Star family - those same families that Trump held in such contempt in 2016, according to John Kelly.
Any comment, Senator Mastriano?
Trump did endorse you for Governor, right? You were the White House's "point person" for his fake elector scheme in Pennsylvania, right? You helped spread his big lie, right?
You even spoke to him on the phone the night before his mob stormed the Capitol.
Don't you have anything to say?
