'Jesus Christ, why are we having this conversation?' MSNBC analyst flips out over Trump

On Saturday morning, MSNBC political analyst Elise Jordan expressed astonishment and anger over Donald Trump's ignorance about Nazis and Adolf Hitler which was revealed in his conversations with his former White House chief of staff.

During an appearance on MSNBC's "The Weekend," Jordan — a former speechwriter in President George W. Bush's administration — was asked about the impact of Gen. John Kelly's admission that Trump found admirable qualities in the Nazi leader.

According to the analyst, she believes it has given an assist to Vice President Kamala Harris as she makes the case that her presidential opponent is a fascist.

That, in turn, led her to point out that Harris seems to be getting under Trump's skin with the attacks before she turned back to Trump's lack of knowledge about the Nazis.

"I thought the Hitler comment was just, I mean, jaw-dropping, even though we have heard it several iterations of that over the years," she told the panel. "It is not new he denigrates the military and sympathizes with authoritarians and dictators. What I thought was so effective is she [Harris] used it in the CNN town hall in the way she actually said, he is a fascist, saying what she thinks, being authentic, just putting it out there."

"You know, the Trump campaign, I think it had impact," she reported. "They got up an ad immediately of the Holocaust survivor. You know Republicans, you know they are on top of it and did not waste any time getting that out."

She then exclaimed, "John Kelly has to explain to Trump, 'No, you don't want generals like Hitler. They killed millions of innocent people by sending them to the gas chambers.' Jesus Christ, why are we having this conversation?"
