CNN Airs John Kelly Audio Saying Trump Told Him ‘Hitler Did Some Good Things Too’

EXCERPT:

KELLY: "He would — he commented more than once that, 'You know, that Hitler did some good things, too.' And of course, if you know history, again, I think he's lacking in that, but if you know what Hitler was all about, you'd be pretty hard to make an argument that he did anything good."

REPORTER: "So what would you say — what would you say when he said to you that Hitler did a lot of good things?"

It was certainly not done for the right reason.' And — but he would occasionally say that."

REPORTER: "What would he say when you would lay that out to him?"

KELLY: "He'd just — that would be the end of the conversation usually."
