Former Trump White House Chief of Staff John Kelly this week delivered an "October shock," revealing that during his time in office, former President Donald Trump told him that "Hitler did some good things." This comes after reporting in the Atlantic that Trump said he needs "the kind of generals that Hitler had." (The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg also reported that Trump made a racist comment about murdered soldier Vanessa Guillén in 2020.) Vice President Kamala Harris said such remarks are "deeply troubling and incredibly dangerous."
And with Election Day a little over a week away, Harris is ready to make her "closing argument" to the nation. On Wednesday night, Harris participated in a CNN town hall with undecided voters on Wednesday night, where she echoed the denunciation above and called Trump a "fascist." Harris is scheduled to deliver a speech on Tuesday at the Ellipse in Washington, D.C. — the site where Trump addressed his supporters on Jan. 6, 2021. Trump's plans for the week ahead include a rally at New York's Madison Square Garden tonight and rallies in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Wisconsin and other swing states.
In a rare appearance on the campaign trail, former first lady Michelle Obama rallied with Harris in Michigan last night and delivered a powerful message to the "men who love us." Others who campaigned for Harris over the past week include former President Barack Obama, rock legend Bruce Springsteen, rapper Eminem and superstar Beyoncè Knowles-Carter (for real this time).
In Arizona on Friday, President Joe Biden delivered an apology for the government-run boarding school system that operated from 1819 to at least 1969, separating generations of Native American families from their children. Biden's apology came after a yearslong investigation by the Interior Department.
Riches to rags: Former Mayor of New York and former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani was ordered to turn over his luxury Manhattan penthouse and other valuables to Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, the two Georgia election workers he defamed.
And overseas, Israel announced early Saturday that it had launched "precise strikes on military targets in Iran." Iran's National Air Defense headquarters said damage was limited.
