Top U.S. General Said Trump Preached ‘Gospel of the Führer’
New York Magazine ^ | July 14, 2021 | Ben Jacobs

General Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, likened Donald Trump’s effort to hold on to power after the 2020 election to Adolf Hitler, saying the president was preaching “the gospel of the Führer” with his lies about the election being stolen, according to a new book by two Washington Post reporters.

Milley was disturbed by the sight of Trump supporters rallying to his cause in November, calling them “Brownshirts in the streets.” Leonnig and Rucker wrote that Milley “believed Trump was stoking unrest, possibly in hopes of an excuse to invoke the Insurrection Act and call out the military.” The general likened the U.S. to Germany’s fragile Weimar Republic in the early 1930s. “This is a Reichstag moment,” he said, referring to the arson attack on Germany’s Parliament that Hitler used as a pretext to assume absolute power and destroy democracy.

“These guys are Nazis, they’re boogaloo boys, they’re Proud Boys. These are the same people we fought in World War II,” Milley said a week after the attack on the Capitol.

Trump should have dumped this bum when he took office. Milley is a pompous, self-loving, no good worthless bum.

With a filthy pig attitude like that I’m surprised that he’s never been on the receiving end of some friendly fire.

The general is preaching communism.

President Trump was representing the citizens and the rule of law and that could not be tolerated by the Deep State.

What a disgusting communist. A poor excuse for a man. Zero backbone and blows with the wind.

Milley is a coward who has sold his soul to the left in exchange for continuing his career. A coward who sells out to protect his own hide.

It’s obvious that this moron has no knowledge of actual history. The guy’s a whippoorwill.

I thought the military was supposed to stay out of politics.

Bought and paid for, Milley Vanilli. He’s just as much fraud as the fab frauds from the ‘80s.

The Devil now owns his sorry, disgraceful self.

Human garbage with stars don’t mean shee-it to me.

Fuggim and the Kenyan he rode in on.

Anyone other than me miss the days when the military brass kept their noses out of partisan politics or at least pretended to?

When I was in the military, we had racial problems.
Most were caused by Democrat and RINO politicians.
