<p>Two former senior advisers for Vice President Mike Pence strongly refuted General John Kelly&#8217;s claims that Donald Trump once praised Adolf Hitler&#8217;s generals during a discussion with White House officials.</p>
<p>An article written by The Atlantic Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg quoted Kelly, Trump&#8217;s former chief of staff, who accused Trump of saying he wanted the &#8220;generals that Hitler had.&#8221; According to Kelly, who has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/john-kellys-history-of-anti-trump-activism-and-smears" target="_blank" rel="noopener">disparaged Trump</a> in the past, the former president was fond of Hitler&#8217;s generals because they &#8220;were totally loyal to him.&#8221; Kelly served as Trump&#8217;s Homeland Security Secretary for six months in 2017 before Trump tapped him to serve as his chief of staff from July 2017 until January 2019.</p>
<p>Kelly&#8217;s comments to The Atlantic led to Vice President Kamala Harris holding a short press conference on Wednesday where she slammed Trump, saying, &#8220;It is deeply troubling and incredibly dangerous that Donald Trump would invoke Adolf Hitler.&#8221; Later on Wednesday during a town hall with CNN&#8217;s Anderson Cooper, Harris <a href="https://x.com/Acyn/status/1849256946362359929" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called</a> the Republican nominee a &#8220;fascist.&#8221;</p>
<p>Retired General Keith Kellogg — Pence&#8217;s former National Security Adviser — and Nick Ayers, Pence&#8217;s former chief of staff — released statements on Wednesday blasting the general&#8217;s claims.</p>
<p>&#8220;Vice President Harris is a fraud. I was in the White House at a senior level much longer than General Kelly. He is complicit in this fraud and has lied to the American people. His lies, as well as John Bolton&#8217;s, are a disservice to [the] Nation at this critical time. So are the VP&#8217;s,&#8221; Kellogg wrote on X.</p>

<p>Ayers called Kelly&#8217;s comments &#8220;patently false,&#8221; writing, &#8220;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.*&#8221;</p>

<p>The Atlantic story, which was published just two weeks before Election Day, also accused Trump of complaining about a murdered soldier&#8217;s funeral bill in 2020. Those claims have also been <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-atlantic-accuses-trump-of-disparaging-slain-soldier-the-soldiers-family-responds" target="_blank" rel="noopener">refuted</a> by former Trump administration officials and the slain Army private&#8217;s family.</p>

<p>Trump slammed Kelly in a Truth Social <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/113359044153318787" target="_blank" rel="noopener">post</a> on Wednesday, calling him &#8220;a total degenerate.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;This guy had two qualities, which don’t work well together. He was tough and dumb,&#8221; Trump added. &#8220;The problem is his toughness morphed into weakness, because he became JELLO with time! The story about the Soldiers was A LIE, as are numerous other stories he told. Even though I shouldn’t be wasting my time with him, I always feel it’s necessary to hit back in pursuit of THE TRUTH.&#8221;</p>
