House Republican giggles over Hitler praise — and admits he never listens to Trump

Raw Story  

WASHINGTON — A Republican House representative burst into laughter Tuesday when a Raw Story reporter asked him to comment on former President Donald Trump's remarks praising autocrats that included Adolf Hitler. Harris' assertion comes as the release of a new book — "The Return of Great Powers" by CNN's John Sciutto — details warnings from former Trump advisers over their onetime boss' admiration for autocrats. "He kind of likes that.” Retired Marines General John Kelly told Sciutto he convinced Trump to stop praising the Nazi leader who masterminded the Holocaust by arguing Italian's fascist dictator Benito Mussolini was "a great guy in comparison.” "Hitler did some good things," Trump said, according to Kelly. " News of this exchange came as a surprise to Rep. Joe Wilson, who told Raw Story he "didn't know anything about" Trump's professed admiration for strong men leaders and added, "That's crazy."
