More than 700 deep state security and military officials have officially endorsed Kamala Harris for president, claiming that former President Donald J. Trump “endangers” democratic ideals, ironically as Harris was never democratically nominated by her party.
The officials signed a joint letter endorsing Harris, lauding her for supporting Ukraine while claiming she “grasps the reality of American military deterrence.”
The letter is almost more of an expression of criticism and opposition to Trump as it is an endorsement of Harris, with the letter stating, “Mr. Trump threatens our democratic system,” and “He said he wants to be a ‘dictator,’ and his clarification that he would only be a dictator for a day is not reassuring.”
Among those who signed the letter are former Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel, who served under Barack Obama, and several retired generals and admirals.
Trump campaign communications director Steven Cheung reacted to the latter, saying those who signed it “are the same people who got our country into endless foreign wars and profited off of them while the American people suffered.”
He added that Trump was the only president in recent history not to begin any new foreign wars.
The letter comes after prominent neocons also endorsed Kamala Harris in recent weeks, including former Vice President Dick Cheney, one of the chief architects of the disastrous Iraq war.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, currently pursuing the war in Ukraine, also endorsed Harris, stating she was his favorite earlier this month.
“Our ‘favorite,’ if you can call it that, was the current president, Mr. Biden. But he was removed from the race and recommended all his supporters to support Ms. Harris. Well, we will do so – we will support her,” Putin said.
