A former Bush-era official found himself on the defensive during a discussion about reports that Donald Trump once made glowing remarks about Adolf Hitler – whose reign of terror against the Jewish community the Republican commentator compared to protests on college campuses.

The moment came on CNN’s "NewsNight" with anchor Abby Phillip when Scott Jennings, a former special assistant to President George W. Bush, defended Trump, saying the former president refuted the claims made by his former chief of staff John Kelly, before adding: “I would humbly submit to Mr. Kelly that if he's worried about Hitler and he's worried about fascism, he ought to pick up the newspaper.”

An Iraq War veteran flatly rejected what he felt was a deflection by a Republican strategist during a tense segment on CNN on Tuesday night.

Paul Rieckhoff joined CNN's "NewsNight" with Abby Phillip to discuss new bombshell reporting in The Atlantic that former Marine General John Kelly, who served as Donald Trump’s longest-running chief of staff, that Trump repeatedly called slain soldiers "losers."

The Kamala Harris campaign is apologizing after a local Muslim Democratic leader in Detroit was summarily kicked out of their rally, reported the Detroit Metro Times — saying that it was done in error.

"Ahmed Ghanim, a Democrat, says he accepted an invitation to the event and was seated in the Royal Oak Music Theatre when a campaign organizer ordered him to leave," reported Steve Neavling. "Ghanim, who immigrated to the U.S. from Egypt in 2001 and is vehemently opposed to U.S. support for Israel’s military actions, says he still has been given no reason why he was removed from the event."

Calling Tuesday night a “very sobering moment” in light of former Marine General John Kelly speaking out about the dangers a second Donald Trump presidency poses to the country, two political analysts used their airtime on CNN to praise Kelly – and further warn about Trump.

“The worst thing that Kamala Harris could do, maybe bad tax policy. We may not have a Constitution by the time that someone like this is president with no guardrails,” former Obama White House official Van Jones said Tuesday night on CNN’s “AC360” with Anderson Cooper. He told the host that the steps Trump would take if allowed to return to the Oval Office are “beyond our ability to comprehend.”

"Lock her up" chants that became popular at former President Donald Trump's campaign rallies in 2016 got flipped around Tuesday by President Joe Biden, who told campaign workers in New Hampshire on Tuesday, "We’ve got to lock him up" then added after a brief pause, "politically."

Biden warned the workers that democracy is on the ballot this year and to think about what the country will look like if Trump wins.

Former Fox News personality Geraldo Rivera opened up to MSNBC's Ari Melber on Tuesday about the thought process that caused him to break from former President Donald Trump, whom he has known for years, to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris.

A former aide to Donald Trump downplayed the significance of an explosive new report in The Atlantic that the former president said he needed the "kind of generals that [Adolf] Hitler had."

Trump's one-time chief of staff retired Marine Gen. John Kelly, who also served as Trump's Homeland Security secretary and a critic of the former president since leaving the administration, told The Atlantic that "when Trump raised the subject of 'German generals,' Kelly responded by asking, '‘Do you mean Bismarck’s generals?’' He went on: 'I mean, I knew he didn’t know who Bismarck was, or about the Franco-Prussian War. I said, ‘Do you mean the Kaiser’s generals? Surely you can’t mean Hitler’s generals? And he said, ‘Yeah, yeah, Hitler’s generals.’ I explained to him that [Erwin] Rommel had to commit suicide after taking part in a plot against Hitler.' Kelly told me Trump was not acquainted with Rommel."

At the close of a Latino Americans for Trump town hall at Donald Trump’s Miami golf club on Tuesday, MAGA pastors, including one whose “messy” divorce led him to be labeled a “charlatan,” laid hands on the criminally convicted ex-president, described the election as a “war between good and evil,” fervently prayed for God to return Trump to the White House, and asked Him to “Make America Godly again.”
