Sean (can I call you Sean? Thanks!), you once famously intoned that if you don't denounce something, you've endorsed it.
Ok so let me ask you about this:
Then-President Donald Trump allegedly praised Adolf Hitler during a discussion with his White House chief of staff John Kelly in 2018 while on a trip to Paris to commemorate the armistice after World War I, according to excerpts of an upcoming book, obtained by CNN, from Wall Street Journal reporter Michael Bender.
"Well, Hitler did a lot of good things," Trump reportedly told Kelly, who was explaining to the 45th President who the allies and adversaries were in both World Wars, according to Bender.Bender also writes in the book, titled "Frankly, We Did Win This Election: The Inside Story of How Trump Lost," that Trump was "undeterred" and persisted in his defense of the German dictator by claiming the country made economic gains under Hitler's leadership.
So do you think Hitler did a lot of good things? Do endorse that statement or denounce it?
For the record the man who lied more than 30,000 times during his 4 years in office (and continues to lie about his loss in the 2020 election) denied the above comments to chief of staff Kelly.
As CNN wrote:
"This is totally false. President Trump never said this. It is made up fake news, probably by a general who was incompetent and was fired," Liz Harrington, chief spokeswoman for Trump, told CNN Wednesday.
So let's assume that's true. If that's the case then Trump's mouthpiece just called a highly-decorated, retired Marine Corps general "incompetent."
Sean, you're also a veteran and a highly decorated one at that. Do you endorse or denounce that charge?
