Ex-Trump Officials Trash Their Old Boss in Harris' New Attack Ad

Source: Daily Beast

Published Sep. 09, 2024 8:43AM EDT


Kamala Harris’ campaign on Tuesday dropped a new ad starring some of Donald Trump’s former senior administration officials tearing into the man they once served.

The montage of scathing comments from the Republican nominee’s ex-colleagues-turned-critics comes ahead of the former president’s first debate against Harris in Philadelphia. The ad will air in the city as well as in West Palm Beach—where Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort is located—along with a nationwide rollout on Fox News, according to Politico.

The ad, which is titled “The Best People,” compiles footage of Trump’s former Vice President Mike Pence, Secretary of Defense Mark Esper, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, and national security adviser John Bolton. The ex-officials are variously shown saying they won’t endorse Trump in the 2024 election, calling him untrustworthy, and describing him as pathologically self-interested.

“In 2016, Donald Trump said he would choose only the best people to work in his White House,” a voiceover says in the Harris-Walz ad. “Now those people have a warning for America: Trump is not fit to be president again.”

TSF is blistering Pa. with ads. He puts them between innings of Pirates games and at other sporting events.

This ad is one of the better ones I have seen.

These are the people who worked with Chump and saw him up close every day. They know he's unfit for office and he can't be allowed back in the White House. There are so many others ... such as Jeff Sessions, Rex Tillerson, John Kelly, Rience Priebus, even Elaine Chau - they have nothing good to say about Chump.

Doesn't that tell us something?

they're all supporting the rapist, right? I mean I keep hearing those people say that the rapist is the dumbest, least competent, most untrustworthy, most deceitful, scumbag in the history of the presidency, but they'll still vote for him. We can call them the Nikki Mouse Club.
