Time is running out before Election Day, and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris appears to be increasingly desperate.
As President Donald Trump’s advantage grows in nationwide and battleground state polls, Harris has latched on to a widely debunked claim that Trump once voiced his admiration for Adolf Hitler.
Not only did the Trump campaign unequivocally deny any such allegation, but CNN pundit Scott Jennings offered a scathing assessment of Harris’ latest line of attack.
According to RedState:
“It is deeply troubling and incredibly dangerous that Donald Trump would invoke Adolf Hitler, the man who was responsible for the deaths of 6 million Jews and hundreds of thousands of Americans,” the Democrat presidential nominee said in her remarks, which oddly enough were delivered from the vice presidential residence.
While both the former president and his presidential campaign have responded accordingly, GOP strategist/political analyst Scott Jennings, fresh off of triggering his colleagues on the Doug Emhoff abuse scandal, brought up another great point during a Wednesday CNN segment about why Harris’ argument about Trump bombs so badly:
It probably will shock Kamala Harris and the rest of her campaign staff to learn that there are incumbent Democrat US Senators in this country right now running television ads touting all their work with this “modern-day Hitler.”
I wonder if Kamala Harris tonight in our town hall meeting will call for them to take these ads off the air touting their work with this “Hitler”?
I mean, if he were really “Hitler,” if he were really “a threat to democracy,” not a single Democrat in this country would be running ads touting their work with Donald Trump.
Harris also received ample backlash on social media:
Vice President Kamala Harris is desperate, dangerous, and lying about President Trump.

As a Jew, nothing is more offensive to me than hearing Kamala Harris compare her political opponent to Hitler simply because she disagrees with him. Hitler was responsible for the murder of six million Jews, whereas Trump has done everything to make Jews in America safer. The… pic.twitter.com/GyidDA4dYu

Trump even chimed in on X:
Comrade Kamala Harris sees that she is losing, and losing badly, especially after stealing the Race from Crooked Joe Biden, so now she is increasingly raising her rhetoric, going so far as to call me Adolf Hitler, and anything else that comes to her warped mind. She is a Threat…

The Trump campaign also issued a statement, as reported by the New York Post:
“Kamala Harris is a stone-cold loser who is increasingly desperate because she is flailing, and her campaign is in shambles,” Trump campaign communications director Steven Cheung said in a statement Wednesday.
“That is why she continues to peddle outright lies and falsehoods that are easily disproven. The fact is that Kamala’s dangerous rhetoric is directly to blame for the multiple assassination attempts against President Trump and she continues to stoke the flames of violence all in the name of politics. She is despicable and her grotesque behavior proves she is wholly unfit for office.”
Here’s a clip of Jennings’ remarks:
