Fox News Host Believes Hitler Claims About Trump But His Take Shifts Quickly
HuffPost
This host accepted John Kelly's claims that Trump praised Hitler even if Fox News colleague Jesse Watters didn't.
Fox News host Howard Kurtz said Thursday he believes John Kelly’s claims about Donald Trump’s multiple Adolf Hitler references, but downplayed the former president’s intent. (Watch the video below.)
Kurtz was asked by fellow Fox News personality Martha MacCallum if the resurfaced allegations about Trump making admiring remarks about the Nazi leader would change voters’ minds before the Nov. 5 election.
Kelly, the retired general who was Trump’s chief of staff, said in interviews this week that Trump asked him why he couldn’t be more like Hitler’s generals and mentioned that “Hitler did some good things.” Kelly also said Trump met the definition of a fascist and “prefers the dictator approach.”
“First of all, I think that John Kelly is a highly respected four-star [general] who lost a son in Afghanistan,” Kurtz replied. “And I don’t believe that he is making things up. And nobody can really know what the private conversations may have been.”
Then Kurtz, who hosts “Media Buzz,” took an apologist turn.
