Over 700 high-ranking national security officials have endorsed Democratic candidate Vice President Harris in her run for the White House, with some leaders expressing concerns about former President Trumps scary authoritarian streak.
Vice President Harris has all the leadership qualities needed to be a strong commander in chief. Shes prepared. Shes strategic. Shes understands all sides of an issue, retired U.S. Navy Rear Admiral Michael Smith told The Hill. We saw as much during the debate.
As weve seen for nearly a decade, however, former President Trump has none of those qualities, and he has a scary authoritarian streak, Smith, who is also the president of National Security Leaders for America, added.
The letter endorsing Harris consists of 741 former high-ranking national security officials, including 233 general and flag officers. Among those 741 officials are 15 four-star generals, 10 former cabinet secretaries and 10 service secretaries as well as leaders who served in Republican administrations.

This country allowed Murdoch (an Australian) to completely transform our media from sources of information into sources of propaganda, lies, misinformation, disinformation, and brainwashing.
