Kamala Harris, speaking from the steps of the vice president’s residence, rebuked Donald Trump for reportedly saying he wanted “the kind of generals that Hitler had.”

“Donald Trump said that because he does not want a military that is loyal to the United States Constitution, he wants a military that is loyal to him,” Harris said. “He wants a military that is loyal to him personally.”

Harris went on to call Trump “increasingly unhinged and unstable.”
