Vice President Kamala Harris answered questions from voters at a town hall in Aston, Pennsylvania, on Wednesday night as she makes a final pitch to Americans in what is expected to be a razor-thin election.
The town hall, moderated by CNN’s Anderson Cooper, gave her the chance to respond to and capitalize on comments made by John Kelly, the former chief of staff to Donald Trump, who said this week in an interview with The New York Times that his old boss fit the definition of a “fascist.”
The former Marine general also said that Trump had told him multiple times that Adolf Hitler had “done some good things.”
Cooper did not avoid the topic, asking Harris point-blank at the top of the discussion, “Do you think Donald Trump is a fascist?”
“Yes, I do. Yes, I do. And I also believe that the people who know him best on this subject should be trusted,” Harris replied, referencing Kelly.
She also reflected on why the decorated general might have felt the need to bring his concerns to light just two weeks prior to Election Day.
“Why is he telling the American people now?” Harris questioned rhetorically, before answering: “Frankly, I think of it as… he’s just putting out a 911 call to the American people.”
Harris has already been reviving messaging about Trump’s supposed threat to American democracy as part of an argument — frequently heard in her stump speeches — that Trump is unfit for office.
She returned to that pattern by calling Trump “increasingly unhinged and unstable” in her first on-camera reaction to Kelly’s comments on Wednesday afternoon.
“It is deeply troubling and incredibly dangerous that Donald Trump would invoke Adolf Hitler, the man who is responsible for the deaths of 6 million Jews and hundreds of thousands of Americans,” she added. “All of this is further evidence for the American people of who Donald Trump really is.”
The vice president warned of the potential for unchecked power if Trump were to win another term in the White House.
“In a second term, people like John Kelly would not be there to be the guardrails against his propensities and his actions,” she said. “Those who once tried to stop him from pursuing his worst impulses would no longer be there and no longer be there to rein him in,” Harris said Wednesday afternoon.
The town hall also gave Harris a chance to sway the last sliver of the electorate who may have questions about her ability to handle the job of the presidency — especially because Pennsylvania is a key battleground state.
That included responding to questions about how her presidency would be different from President Joe Biden’s, to which she answered, “My administration will not be a continuation of the Biden administration. I bring to this role my own ideas and my own experience. I represent a new generation of leadership on a number of issues and believe we have to actually take new approaches.”
She cited her past work on the foreclosure crisis and her plans to protect homeowners from predatory lending.
Later in the town hall, Harris outright called Trump a “fascist” while answering a question on Palestinian civilians being killed in Gaza, which Harris called “unconscionable,” and voters choosing to stay home or protest vote over the war, arguing that many are not single-issue voters.
“Listen, I am not going to deny the strong feelings that people have,” Harris said. “I don’t know that anyone who has seen the images who would not have strong feelings about what has happened, much less those who have relatives, who have died and been killed. And I and I know people and I’ve talked with people, so I appreciate that.”
“But I also do know that for many people who care about this issue, they also care about bringing down the price of groceries,” Harris argued. “They also care about our democracy and not having a president of the United States who admires dictators and is a fascist. They also care about the fact that we need practical, common-sense solutions from a leader who is willing to work across the aisle on behalf of the American people and not themselves. They want a president who cares about a fundamental freedom to make decisions about your own body, understanding that we’re not trying to change anyone’s belief, but let’s not have the government telling women what to do with their body.”
Harris spoke of the need to support small-business owners, calling them “the backbone of the American economy,” and stated that her approach would include tax cuts that would allow small businesses to “invest in themselves, and grow, and in the process invest in communities, invest in neighborhoods, and strengthen our economy overall.”
She discussed bringing to the job her experience of taking care of her sick mother and of raising children, “which is why my plan and my approach says, hey, you shouldn’t have to wipe out all your savings to qualify for Medicaid.”
Cooper also pressed Harris on more specific policies that she has mentioned, including a compromise to set aside $650 million in funding for a wall at the southern border. He asked, “Under Trump, you criticized the border wall more than 50 times. You called it stupid, useless, and a medieval vanity project. Is a border wall stupid?”
Harris answered, “Well let’s talk about Donald Trump and that border wall. Remember he said Mexico would pay for it? Well, they didn’t. How much did he build? I think the last number I saw is about 2%.”
She continued, “I am going to bring forward that bipartisan bill to further strengthen and secure our borders. Yes, I am. And I am going to work across the aisle to pass a comprehensive bill that deals with a broken immigration system.”
Harris explained, “America has always had migration, but there needs to be a legal process for it. People have to earn it. And that’s the point that I think is the most important point that can be made, which is that we need a president who is grounded in common sense and practical outcomes.”
from craig about response to her town hall last night:
“Town Hall audience members interviewd by CNN with John King tonight. Every member said they will now vote Harris.”
John Oliver discusses the attempts made by Donald Trump and his supporters to undermine the upcoming election, what we can expect after election night, and the greatest “I voted” sticker of all time.
marlette on not just the inexcusable but more on the inexplicable
Former president Obama admitted he was nervous to follow Marshall Mathers at a Michigan rally for VP Kamala Harris, former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly says former president Donald Trump admires Nazis and wants to use the military against U.S. citizens, and CNN sent a reporter deep into panda territory for a story.
“It is deeply troubling and incredibly dangerous that Donald Trump would invoke Adolf Hitler, the man who is responsible for the deaths of 6 million Jews and hundreds of thousands of Americans,” she added. “All of this is further evidence for the American people of who Donald Trump really is.”
Our fathers, uncles and grandfathers went to Europe and defeated the Nazis for nothing if this generation of Americans votes to put an abject Hitler-Mussolini fan back into the Oval Office. It’s a total betrayal the Greatest Generation.

Kamala delivered a perfect closing message last night with this line:
“The difference between us is that he’s going to have an enemy’s list. I’m going to have a to-do list.”
Over and over again throughout the CNN town hall she drove home that simple unassailable message — She works for you. He works for himself.
A grown man spinning out fantasies in public of spanking little girls needs an ankle bracelet and serious help.. Tucker Carlson’s vision of a Trump presidency is that “dad comes home” and says to America, “You’ve been a bad girl. You’ve been a bad little girl and you’re getting a vigorous spanking, right now. … It’s going to hurt you a lot more than it hurts me.”

The message is to the warped underbelly of America that heretofore has been consigned to the shadows. Something new in our culture has legitimized them. It’s sickening.
Dreading dad coming home says a lot about what it must’ve been like in Tucker’s house. Lol.
(I didn’t click the video. Too dreadful.)
Stale news re-hash: Trump wants Hitler’s generals to inspire a new group to serve Trump in the same manner. Yes, I agree.
On 20 July 1944, during a meeting with Adolf Hitler, German officer Claus von Stauffenberg placed a bomb under the table. After Von Stauffenberg had left, the bomb went off. As if by a miracle, Hitler survived the attack.
Now THAT’S loyalty, by God.
Poobah, in Tucker’s glee about his little analogy, he got the punch line wrong – the correct line is It’s going to hurt me a lot more than it hurts you. Not sure whether that was an intentional reversal and supposed to be funny or just Freudian.
Dex, I guess Dumbass missed that in Modern European History, never read The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich and never saw Valkyrie.

CNN’s town hall with Kamala Harris averaged at least 3.2 million viewers last night, according to preliminary #’s. The total audience rating will grow when Nielsen releases finalized data later today, and the TV ratings do not count various forms of streaming.
The CNN town hall outrated Fox News and MSNBC in all categories.
Shoe fits
Two things I took away from my four-day maga weekend were: (1) they are not going to change their minds, and (2) they are not going to discuss it with you.
Some Trump voters may believe his lies. But plenty more want Trump to be terrifying and stomach-turning so that reelecting him will be a fully realized act of social revenge. Harris cannot propose any policy, offer any benefit, or adopt any position that competes with that feeling.
Ivy – Sad to say that I think any inroads made by some of his crazier rants has evaporated, in this house. The facts are that they’re misogynistic and racist, and I’d say it’s in that order, but of course I feel the misogyny and can only observe the racism. A lot of the pathetic, put-upon, white man act. How are we even related?
Not sure if my female cousin has stopped feeling sorry for Adolf or not. After I reminded her that her dad fought the Nazis, she stopped talking politics.
I hope that those “millions” of silent Republican votes for Harris that Cheney talked about, actually manifest.
Most maggots know that stump is irrelevant and it makes no difference whatever he says. Shouldn’t it ring a giant bell of some sort how much he doesn’t care what he says?
It’s but a Grande Charade.
blue, same here, they clam up if you try to engage them, for my bunch it’s the church. They’ve bought into it hook, line and sinker that he’s the second coming, plus they have no other sources of info except their sources, nothing else is allowed in.
A mutual friend came by with a copy of the Tim Alberta-book (which I hadn’t asked for) and tried to have a discussion. They were horrified and not willing to think even about it.
We only have a week+ to endure this phase, there’s no changing minds, we can only work to keep our units of families and friends intact. And hope there’s not worse to come. Stuart Stevens fears the most danger between election day and inauguration.
Tucker has never been a gentleman even when he wore the bow tie.

Imagine how they will scurry away when Adolf loses, but their defense of him is all on record. Everything Orange Adolf touches is destroyed.
“Texas challenged federal supremacy by creating a state crime for illegal entry into the U.S. The courts will decide whether it’s constitutional — and whether other states can follow Texas’ lead.”
“Shortly after President Joe Biden took office, Abbott launched Operation Lone Star, a massive state mission to reinforce the Texas-Mexico border. Beyond the Texas National Guard’s deployment, state troopers began arresting migrants on state crimes like smuggling and trespassing, and the state installed miles of concertina wire on the border. To date, Texas has spent $11 billion on the effort.”
“SB 4 would make it a state misdemeanor to illegally cross the border from Mexico into Texas, empower Texas peace officers to arrest undocumented immigrants and require that a state magistrate judge order the person to leave the U.S. to Mexico in lieu of prosecution. The misdemeanor is punishable by up to six months in jail. Repeat offenders can be charged with a second-degree felony, punishable by up to 20 years in prison.”
“Soon after, Oklahoma and Iowa passed similar laws; Arizona voters will decide in November whether to adopt a ballot proposal that mirrors the Texas legislation.”
“For now, the law is on hold as the DOJ lawsuit winds through federal courts, but if Texas succeeds in defending it, legal scholars say it would result in two immigration systems — one federal and one in Texas — and open the door for other states to write their own immigration laws.”
“Frank Bowman, a law professor at the University of Missouri, argues that immigration is not an invasion. “Texas and other states are claiming a really extreme version of the notion that states are essentially sovereign, and that the federal government can go whistle,” he said.
“If courts accept Texas’ argument that drug cartel violence and mass migration amount to an invasion, border states will be empowered to declare war without congressional approval, said Ilya Somin, a constitutional law scholar at George Mason University.”
“That suggests an ‘invasion’ must be the kind of organized assault that would normally justify full-scale war in response, including sending troops to attack and occupy the country from which the invasion originated,” Somin has written.

Springsteen: “Donald Trump is running to be an American tyrant”
“Former Sports Illustrated swimsuit model says Trump groped her to show off for Jeffrey Epstein”
“CNN has spoken to three friends of Williams, who each said that she told them about the incident with Trump and Epstein, in 2006, in 2015 and in 2018, respectively.”
“Not long after the encounter, Williams said she received a postcard from Trump, delivered to her modeling agency via courier, with a picture of Palm Beach on the front that featured his Mar-a-Lago resort. “Stacey, Your home away from home. Love, Donald,” the undated postcard read on the back.
“When she and Epstein left Trump Tower, Williams said that he was silent while they rode down the elevator. Once they got outside, she said Epstein berated her for allowing Trump to touch her.”
In 2002, Trump told New York Magazine, “I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy,” adding that Epstein “likes beautiful women as much as I do.”
“In July 2019, Epstein was charged with sex trafficking minors, and he died by suicide in a New York jail cell a month later. After Epstein was charged, Trump told reporters that he did not know about his misconduct.
“I was not a fan of Jeffrey Epstein,” Trump said. “And you watched people yesterday saying that I threw him out of a club. I didn’t want anything to do with him. That was many, many years ago. It shows you one thing: that I have good taste. OK?”
My Texas contingency is up to five and determined to vote in Colin Allred (and Kamala, it almost goes without saying.)
Kick Cruz to Cancun!
blue, they suffered through that deep freeze while Ted was sunning himself in Cancun. They haven’t forgotten.
“We’re a dumping ground. We’re like a garbage can for the world. That’s what’s happened,” Trump said at the event in Tempe…”
“Every time I come up and talk about what they’ve done to our country I get angry and angrier,” he continued. “First time I’ve ever said garbage can. But you know what? It’s a very accurate description.”
Anyone who supports him can not also claim to be a Christian.
“The televised broadcast omitted Trump’s comments about Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio. He told the barbershop customers that “they just dumped 50,000 people — 32,000 migrants from another country — in Springfield, Ohio. They don’t know what to do.” The actual number of migrants in Springfield is far lower, according to the city’s own data. The broadcast also left out Trump’s gross exaggerations about crime in Aurora, Colorado.”
“One of the most telling parts of the dialogue began when an audience member asked Trump about finding a way to eliminate federal taxes in the future. On Fox, Trump was shown immediately answering affirmatively: “There is a way.”
But that response from Trump actually came more than seven minutes later, after Trump (and Jones) brought up other topics, including inheritances, the Keystone Pipeline, Ronald Reagan, Russia, and transgender sports players.”
“In another unplayed portion of the visit, Trump praised Hungarian strongman Viktor Orban and called him a “very respected guy.”
