More than a dozen former Trump administration officials on Friday came out in support of former chief of staff John Kelly, who went on the record this week to say the former president fits the definition of a fascist, would govern like a dictator and has no concept of the Constitution.

In a new letter, shared exclusively with POLITICO, the former Trump administration officials — some of the officials have been outspoken Trump critics for years — stated, “this is who Donald Trump is.”

“The revelations General Kelly brought forward are disturbing and shocking. But because we know Trump and have worked for and alongside him, we were sadly not surprised by what General Kelly had to say,” the letter states.

“We applaud General Kelly for highlighting in stark details the danger of a second Trump term. Like General Kelly, we did not take the decision to come forward lightly. We are all lifelong Republicans who served our country. However, there are moments in history where it becomes necessary to put country over party. This is one of those moments” the letter states. “Everyone should heed General Kelly’s warning.”

1. I don't suppose the trumpers even grasp how when they say Kelly is lying that they are again disrespecting our

military and veterans?

2. The time to put country over party started over 200 years ago. What rocks have

these guys been hiding under?

3. Just more disgruntled employees

4. The Harris campaign needs to make a powerful ad with all these conservative miltary leaders warning against Trump

Won't change harcore MAGAts, but some moderates and independents may take heed.

5. They'll simply toss them aside and double down...

They’d literally see it as a tremendous honor to have TSF physically assault their own family members.

His policies will in fact harm all of us; however they believe its the ultimate in “owning the libs..”

Dangerous MF’ers…

6. Would have been great if these motherfuckers came out when they had the chance to do something

I know: better late than never. But since millions of people have already voted, it's too damn late. If they had done something before now we wouldn't be here today with a convicted felon running to be the fascist dictator of America.

7. More ads

This deserves more ad effort. The fact that the prisoners received sex change operations because of a Trump policy deserves more ad effort. While Trump’s people run ads accusing Harris of every crime committed by an immigrant and telling people they’re not safe, Harris runs ads talking about a national sales tax. Folks, these things are not equal. I hope it’s not too late. Having a rally with Bruce Springsteen in front of people who were already voting for her isn’t going to sway the undecided.
