After spending four years spearheading an administration that’s injected Marxist ideology into the military, Kamala Harris is now accusing Donald Trump of wanting to hijack the U.S. armed forces for his own political gain.
In an impromptu speech at the Naval Observatory on Wednesday, the vice president outlandishly claimed that Trump once “said he wanted generals like Adolf Hitler had.” She also baselessly contended the former president “does not want a military that is loyal to the United States Constitution,” but one “that is loyal to him.”
The unfounded assertions seemingly stem from a recently published Atlantic piece authored by misinformation trafficker Jeffrey Goldberg. Known for deploying the debunked “suckers” and “losers” hoax against Trump before the 2020 election, Goldberg’s new article cites anonymous sources who supposedly claim Trump disparaged a deceased service member and that he said he “need[s] the kind of generals that Hitler had” during his time as president.
Numerous former Trump administration officials and the deceased soldier’s sister — who said she voted for Trump this week — have since publicly denounced Goldberg’s smear job as completely false. But truth is of little concern to Harris, who gleefully weaponized the obvious pre-Election Day hit piece to paint Trump as a wannabe-dictator seeking to overthrow the military for personal gain.
Trump “wants a military who will be loyal to him personally, one that will obey his orders even when he tells them to break the law or abandon their oath to the Constitution of the United States,” Harris said.
As is the case with her ominous claims that Trump will use lawfare to target his political opponents if elected, Harris is projecting the Democrat Party’s authoritarian agenda onto the former president. Throughout the past four years, the Biden-Harris administration has been steadily “reimagining” America’s military into a force that prioritizes the institution-wide adoption neo-Marxist ideology.
Shortly after taking power, the administration implemented an executive order mandating all federal agencies — including the Defense Department — adopt discriminatory “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI) policies throughout their respective workforces. Military branches such as the Navy issued their own directives that year requiring officials to “develop a strategy to advance DEI across the enterprise.”
