This article, \u200ccriticized for its lack of credible evidence and reliance on\u2062 anonymous sources, has been denounced \u2064by former Trump \u2064officials and the family of a deceased soldier\u200b mentioned in the piece.\u200d <\/p>\n<p>Harris\u2019s remarks are viewed as part\u2063 of a broader \u2062narrative\u200b where she and the Biden \u200cadministration project their own policies, which \u200bsome have characterized \u200das \u200cauthoritarian and ideological, onto Trump. Over the past four years, the Biden-Harris administration has promoted &#8220;diversity, equity, and inclusion&#8221; \u200dpolicies within \u2064the military, which critics argue are rooted in Marxist ideology. Allegations of \u200dMarxism in the military \u200care reinforced by\u2064 appointments of\u2064 reportedly left-leaning\u200d officials to key \u2064positions. <\/p>\n<p>Concerns have been raised \u200dabout the consequences for service members who oppose these policies, \u200bdemonstrating a perceived increase in ideological\u2064 control over the military under the current administration. The speech appears to use Trump&#8217;s alleged past comments as \u200da platform to \u2062criticize his character and motives while \u2063deflecting attention from the \u200cadministration&#8217;s own military reforms and controversies.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>After spending four years spearheading an administration that&rsquo;s injected Marxist ideology into the military, Kamala Harris is now accusing Donald Trump of wanting to hijack the U.S. armed forces for his own political gain. <\/p>\n<p>In an impromptu speech at the Naval Observatory on Wednesday, the vice president outlandishly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/speeches-remarks\/2024\/10\/23\/remarks-by-vice-president-harris-at-the-vice-presidents-residence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">claimed<\/a> that Trump once &ldquo;said he wanted generals like Adolf Hitler had.&rdquo; She also baselessly contended the former president &ldquo;does not want a military that is loyal to the United States Constitution,&rdquo; but one &ldquo;that is loyal to him.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The unfounded assertions seemingly stem from a recently published Atlantic piece <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/10\/22\/sister-of-deceased-soldier-blasts-the-atlantic-for-latest-anti-trump-fabrications\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">authored<\/a> by misinformation trafficker <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/jeffrey-goldberg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jeffrey Goldberg<\/a>.

But truth is of little concern to Harris, who gleefully weaponized the obvious pre-Election Day hit piece to paint Trump as a wannabe-dictator seeking to overthrow the military for personal gain. <\/p>\n<p>Trump &ldquo;wants a military who will be loyal to him personally, one that will obey his orders even when he tells them to break the law or abandon their oath to the Constitution of the United States,&rdquo; Harris said. <\/p>\n<p>As is the case with her ominous claims that Trump will use lawfare to target his political opponents if elected, Harris is projecting the Democrat Party&rsquo;s authoritarian agenda onto the former president.

The Biden-Harris Defense Department unilaterally mandated all service members to get the experimental and risky Covid shots.

But above all, it&rsquo;s a projection of leftists&rsquo; mission to devise a new military subservient not to the Constitution or the American people, but the Democrat Party agenda. <\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>      Shawn Fleetwood is a staff writer for The Federalist and a graduate of the University of Mary Washington.
