Former Trump Communications Director, Anthony Scaramucci responds to the recent comments by General John Kelly about Trump being an authoritarian. Kelly was Trump's former Director of Homeland Security turned longest serving chief of staff.
"He's certainly an authoritarian, admires people that are dictators. He has said that. So he certainly falls into the general definition of fascist," Kelly said to Michael Schmidt at the New York Times.
Kelly said he felt compelled to say something after Trump threatened to use the military against domestic political opponents. "Even to say it for political purposes to get elected, I think it's a very, very bad thing, let alone actually doing it," Kelly said.
Scaramucci said he has been in touch with General Kelly,"I will tell you that he has said this privately for many years. He wants to get his words out there, on record, so that people know."

"The real question you have to ask people, what's up with the support of Donald Trump if you've got 40 people in the White House, myself included, telling you how dangerous the person is," Scaramucci goes on to say. "What we know about strong leaders is that it leads to lots of corruption, kleptocracy, and ultimately, violence."
Anthony Scaramucci said he is endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris.
