Retired 4-Star General Demands Tucker Carlson Be Fired for Slamming Top US General on TV
Western Journal ^ | June 26, 2021 | C. Douglas Golden

In 2020, if you wanted to get a Democrat outraged, you’d have someone in President Donald Trump’s administration speak ill of the media. In 2021, if you want to get a Democrat outraged, have a member of the media speak ill of someone in President Joe Biden’s administration.

In this regard, Fox News host Tucker Carlson seems to be a prominent target, particularly when he criticizes how the military has gone woke. On his program Thursday, he criticized Joint Chiefs of Staff head Gen. Mark Milley for his remarks defending critical race theory training and saying he wanted to understand “white rage” before a congressional hearing.

Carlson called Milley “obsequious” and said, “He knows who to suck up to and he’s more than happy to do it. Feed him a script and he will read it.”

In one of the more jocund parts of the segment, after a clip was played featuring Milley noting that reading about critical race theory didn’t make him a critical race theorist — “I’ve read Mao Zedong. I’ve read Karl Marx. I’ve read Lenin. That doesn’t make me a communist,” Milley said — Carlson laughed and said Milley was “not just a pig, he’s stupid.”

For that, a retired four-star general wants Carlson fired.

“Why hasn’t he been terminated? Who talks like this about a public official? Mark Milley …Princeton and Colombia. Years in combat.” Let this sink in. Tucker Carlson on live Fox TV called Gen Mark Milley the Chairman of the JCS “Stupid” and a “Pig”. Why hasn’t he been terminated? Who talks like this about a public official? Mark Milley …Princeton and Colombia. Years in combat. — Barry R McCaffrey (@mccaffreyr3) June 25, 2021

Let me get this straight, Bozo Barry took an oath to defend the constitution an he doesn't respect the 1st amendment?

Our military is now being run by REMFs. The Pentagon is full of Courtney Massengales, instead of Sam Damons.

Same way Milley did, exactly as Tucker explained.

The ossifers running our military today are like the staff ossifers who walk by you while you’re working on a detail, in 95 degree heat, and chew you out for having your t-shirt untucked and boots unbloused.

I fail to see a problem with what Carlson said. Milley is a stupid pig.

Tucker Carlson was way too mild in describing Joint Chiefs of Staff head Gen. Mark Milley as “obsequious” and "knows who to suck up to and he’s more than happy to do it."

Tucker should have used the word "traitor" and numerous synonyms to describe Milley.

The job of the military is to protect the freedoms we enjoy, not suppress them.

Just wow - military Generals thinking they have the power to suppress free speech and press.

What country does he think he is in?

“I’ve read Mao Zedong. I’ve read Karl Marx. I’ve read Lenin. That doesn’t make me a communist,” Milley said

Right. Same thng as saying “I’ve read Playboy, Hustler and Juggs. That doesn’t mean I like porn!”

What no one is tslking about is that In 2016, Gen Milley traveled to Beijing and congratulated Gen Li Zuocheng on being appointed by Xi Jinping as the head of the People’s Liberation Army. What general in history has ever congratulated the enemy on a promotion? This idiot has 4 stars too many!

From his attitude it seems he wasn’t learning about his enemy, he was learned from them to copy.
