Former Chief of Staff John Kelly is the ringleader of the latest anti-Trump hoax.
But the Trump campaign isn’t taking this latest hit piece lying down.
And J.D. Vance torched John Kelly for starting this ugly fight with Donald Trump.
J.D. Vance blasts Kelly for spreading falsehoods about Donald Trump
The Democrat Party and the media’s October surprise to help Kamala Harris win the election amounted to the recycled lies about Donald Trump being Adolf Hitler.
Bitter former chief of staff John Kelly got the ball rolling on the latest anti-Trump hoax by claiming to The New York Times – without providing any evidence – that Donald Trump admired Hitler’s generals.
“He commented more than once that Hitler did some good things, too. And of course, if you know history — again, I think he’s lacking in that. But if you know what Hitler was all about, it would be pretty hard to make an argument that he did anything good,” Kelly said in a New York Times interview.
“First of all, you should never say that. But if you knew what Hitler was all about from the beginning to the end, everything he did was in support of his racist, fascist life. You know, the, you know, philosophy, so that nothing he did, you could argue, was good. It was certainly not done for the right reason. And he would occasionally say that,” Kelly added.
J.D. Vance responded to this desperation smear story at an event in Michigan.
Vance explained that Kelly is a bitter former staffer who can’t get over the fact that Donald Trump fired him.
As Homeland Security Secretary and then Chief of Staff, Kelly was the face of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.
That made him a villain to the press.
Now Vance and other conservatives suspect Kelly is telling wild tales to the press, trashing Trump in the most vicious terms possible to win his way back into the good graces of the liberal establishment.
“Here’s the thing about what John Kelly said. John Kelly was fired by Donald Trump and he’s pissed off about it and he wont stop talking about it,” Vance stated. “Every time that John Kelly said that something happened you’ve got three or four people who were allegedly in the room when it happened saying he’s making it up.”
Even Trump critics like former Secretary of Defense Mark Esper told CNN he’s never heard Trump speak like that.
Other national security officials, like Lt. General Keith Kellogg, called Kelly a fraud and a liar.
Vance asked voters if they could believe a disgruntled former staffer with an ax to grind or the multiple eyewitnesses in the room with Trump who debunked these claims.
“So who do we believe? Do we believe multiple eyewitnesses or do we believe a disgruntled ex-employee? I believe the multiple eyewitnesses. I think everything that John Kelly said is not true,” Vance added.
John Kelly’s interview with The Times dropped just before Kamala’s CNN town hall, an event where Kamala Harris would have the chance to amplify the “Trump loves Hitler” hoax in front of millions of people.
Vance suspected that meant this was a coordinated hit between Kelly and the Kamala Harris campaign.
“John Kelly did not come out of his own volition. I guarantee he talked to someone on Kamala Harris’ campaign beforehand,” Vance concluded. “And we gotta ask ourselves, why are the media and, most importantly, why is Kamala Harris talking about a disgruntled former employee instead of the fact that under her leadership grocery prices were up 25 percent in the state of Michigan?”
But the October surprise turned into a dud.
Polls from The New York Times, CNBC, and the Wall Street Journal all showed Trump surging into the lead over Kamala Harris.
