Trump Branded 'Unfit' As 700 Security Officials Back Kamala Harris
"A group of former senior national security leaders have formally endorsed Democratic presidential nominee
Kamala Harris, describing her opponent
Donald Trump as "impulsive," "ill-informed" and "unfit."
The National Security Leaders for America released a statement endorsing Harris on Sunday, signed by more than 700 members. The letter brands Trump as being "unfit" for the job of Commander-in-Chief, and a threat to the country's democratic system.
"This election is a choice between serious leadership and vengeful impulsiveness. It is a choice between democracy and authoritarianism. Vice President Harris defends America's democratic ideals, while former President Donald Trump endangers them," the group's statement said.
The nonprofit describes itself as a bipartisan group composed of retired generals, admirals, senior noncommissioned officers, ambassadors, and senior civilian national security leaders.
Its statement cites Trump's false claims of election fraud and his attempts to undermine the peaceful transfer of power to
Joe Biden in 2020, and notes that he has shown "no remorse for" his actions leading up to the January 6 Capitol attack "and has made clear he will not respect the results of the 2024 election should he lose again."
"That alone proves Mr. Trump is unfit to be Commander-in-Chief."
"The contrast with Mr. Trump is clear: where Vice President Harris is prepared and strategic, he is impulsive and ill-informed," the letter said."
