Trump's 'worst instincts would frighten the average American': ex-official

Former officials from Donald Trump's White House continue to come forward to speak out against him in the final days of the 2024 election cycle. Speaking to MSNBC on Friday, Elizabeth Neumann, former assistant secretary for counterterrorism and threat prevention at the Department of Homeland Security, tried to convey to Americans that their top issues won't matter if America loses its freedom. "He is leading this country, a certain segment of this country, to a very, very dark place," Neumann said. "And that's why it's important for myself and for people like Gen. John Kelly and others to try to issue this warning. You need to take what he says seriously."Read also: Kamala's secret weapon against Trump: The F-word that's changing everythingShe specifically referred to a letter signed by 13 other former Trump administration officials that backed up his criticism of the former president. Neumann thinks Trump often gets away with his more authoritarian comments by saying them "in a joking way." So, "that allows people to give him a pass." "Don't," she begged. "In closed doors, his worst instincts would frighten the average American," she cautioned. "He has no humanity, no decency, no respect for just the fact that a human being, made in the image of God, deserves at least a modicum of respect. And, instead is just willing to toss people aside to achieve his aims. He's very dangerous, indeed."Host Katy Tur asked about the top issues that Americans say they care about, including grocery costs and their children's education. "I'm a mom. I worry about my grocery budget, too," Neumann said. "I totally get that. I think maybe we're not helping the American people understand that the reason that we have the luxury to worry about our kids and our grocery bills is because we have freedom."See her full comments below or at the link here. - YouTubeyoutu.be
