The former Trump aides are ‘not surprised’ by Kelly’s claims Trump complimented Hitler and scorned the US constitution.
A group of Donald Trump-era officials have rallied behind former Chief of Staff John Kelly after he warned that the former president behaves like a “fascist” and craves dictatorship.
In a letter first reported by Politico on Friday, 13 officials who worked under former US president Trump said they “applaud” Kelly for speaking out against the former president.
“There are moments in history where it becomes necessary to put country over party,” wrote the officials, all lifelong Republicans. “This is one of those moments.”
They added, “Everyone should heed General Kelly’s warning.”
The officials include former Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security Elizabeth Neumann, former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci, former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham and former deputy press secretary Sarah Matthews.
