On Thursday morning, the “Big Three” of ABC, CBS, and NBC remained enthralled with the tales spun by former White House chief of staff John Kelly about former President Trump as an alleged fascist and supposed Adolf Hitler enthusiast.

ABC’s Good Morning America still led the way with over six minutes (6:08), including a lead-off report from Disney’s in-house North Korean news lady for the Harris regime, Mary Bruce.

She fawned over Harris “ramping up her argument” about Trump with an assist from Kelly. Somehow, Bruce found it within herself to admit Harris spent much of the CNN town hall attacking Trump instead of stating what she’s for.

ABC’s @MaryKBruce on ‘Good Morning America,’ shilling again for Kamala:

“Well, in these final days, Kamala Harris is ramping up her argument that Donald Trump is unfit and a danger to democracy, saying flatly overnight she does think Donald Trump is a fascist. But when pressed… pic.twitter.com/hN3tlhyoz3

Fretting she was “along onstage” and thus not debating Trump, Bruce said “Harris at times finding herself on the defensive” and “was pressed about her plan” for our southern border, but “repeatedly bringing the conversation back to her opponent.”

Bruce closed by reminding viewers of Harris will be campaigning with Bruce Springsteen and hold a rally on the National Mall to attack Trump over January 6.

Virulent Trump hater Rachel Scott had even more Kelly fawning to do, griping Trump reserved his comments about his former chief of staff and Homeland Security secretary for social media (click “expand”):

SCOTT: Former President Trump did not mention those explosive allegations from his own former chief of staff John Kelly during his campaign stops here, but did take to social media to respond for the first time. This morning, Donald Trump taking his closing message out west as he lashes out at his own former chief of staff, John Kelly, who called him a fascist with no concept for the rule of law or the Constitution. Trump taking to social media to call Kelly a “lowlife” and “bad general,” despite expressing confidence in him in the past.

[TRUMP CLIP]

SCOTT: The former President denying firsthand accounts from Kelly, who told The New York Times Trump praised Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.

[KELLY CLIP]

SCOTT: Trump barnstorming Georgia, but he didn’t say a single word about those explosive allegations.

CBS Mornings also tried to make hay with Kelly’s media blitz whining to the far-left Atlantic and New York Times, but only gave it about 90 seconds (1:33).

Co-host and Kamala Harris donor Gayle King argued Harris and Trump are engaged in “two very different strategies in these final days” with the former “courting the moderates” by focusing on Trump as a danger to the country with Trump only “focus[ed]...on his own base.”

Congressional correspondent Nikole Killion was able to spend a few moments without talking about Kelly, sharing that Trump spent Wednesday “courting the evangelical vote and firing up conservatives appearing at an event last night alongside firebrands like Tucker Carlson and Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene” and “ignited a packed Duluth, Georgia arena Wednesday night with fireworks ablaze.”

“But he saved his more fiery rhetoric off stage for his former White House chief-of-staff, John Kelly, who this week revealed then President Trump spoke favorably of Adolf Hitler and warned the former president could rule as a dictator if he wins a second term,” she then added before going through a retread of Kelly soundbites and Trump denials.

Senior White House correspondent Weijia Jiang covered Harris’s townhall and painted Harris as focused on policy, not Kelly.

The second hour began with chief White House correspondent Nancy Cordes offering her personal observations, including this ironic lament:

CBS's Nancy Cordes admits Harris and former Trump aides wanting an election about January 6 and Trump being a fascist/Hitler enthusiast has been "kind of drowning out the policy conversation."

CBS Mornings Plus had more campaign coverage, including this tilted take from co-host Adriana Diaz at the start of what was otherwise a fascinating and substantive segment about the impact of Latino voters and their increasingly diverse political views:

'CBS Mornings Plus' co-host Adriana Diaz starts off a discussion of Latinos flocking in greater numbers to Trump....by wondering why they're supporting him despite his "anti-immigrant rhetoric" and having "referred to Mexican immigrants as 'rapists' and 'drug dealers.'" pic.twitter.com/nBpqyVRBne

As for NBC’s Today, co-host Craig Melvin had to throw in a nod at the start of the show before a lead off segment on the Boeing strike: “Vice President Harris in Pennsylvania last night for a town hall, doubling down on comments from a one-time member of former President Trump’s inner circle calling him a fascist. Meanwhile, Trump at an event in battleground Georgia, looking to flip the script a bit, saying Harris is the threat to democracy. We’ve got it all covered in just a bit.”

Senior Washington correspondent Hallie Jackson declared “Donald Trump on attack..as former Trump officials and the Harris campaign highlighted why they see him as an existential threat” with Kelly their latest wave of support.

Jackson at least pointed out Harris was so obsessed with the Trump fascism angle that she even urged voters to set aside considering a third party over the war in the Middle East because Trump is that dangerous.

Trump campaign correspondent Garrett Haake put aside the shiny object in Kelly for a full report on the border from Phoenix, Arizona, which he observed as “probably no single issue on which these two issues further apart” aside from the fact that “that the border is broken.”

Haake continued (click “expand”):

HAAKE: The former President says he would resume construction of the border wall and reinstate policies like remain in Mexico, which forces asylum seekers to remain in Mexico while awaiting court dates. Trump often deploying dark language when promising a mass deportation program to remove millions of undocumented immigrants already in the country.

[TRUMP CLIP]

HAAKE: Trump has said little about how he’d pay for his plans or overcome opposition of a potentially divided Congress. That challenge shared by Vice President Harris, who says her border policy would include signing a bipartisan deal scuttled by congressional Republicans at Trump’s insistence earlier this year.

[HARRIS CLIP]

HAAKE: Harris also vowing to pursue more criminal charges against repeat immigration violators, and barring those who are caught crossing the border illegally from requesting asylum for five years.

[HARRIS CLIP]

HAAKE: Harris also leaning on her background as a prosecutor.

[CNN TOWN HALL CLIP]

HAAKE: The vice president telling Telemundo on Monday, she still supports a pathway to citizenship for some undocumented immigrants living inside the country.

[HARRIS-TELEMUNDO CLIP]

HAAKE: Now, the polls have consistently shown Trump leading on the issue of immigration, although Kamala Harris has cut into that lead somewhat since taking over the top of the Democratic ticket from Joe Biden.

In the second hour, the perpetually biased Yamiche Alcindor had a story on outreach from both campaigns to black voters. Surprisingly, she let black men who support Trump talk, but ended with this gripe:

One Harris aide tells me the campaign is concerned about misinformation impacting their support among black men, though a Harris pollster tells me the campaign believes their strategy of spreading information about her past stances and policy ideas in spaces frequented by black men will help her gain the support needed to win the election.
