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

Posted on 07/14/2021 4:36:37 PM PDT by Trump20162020

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.

As usual, accuse the other side if what you are doing.

Who has imprisoned political prisoners since Jan. 6? And killed an unarmed female protester? Where is their speedy trial for trespassing? Who advocates a door to door campaign and mandated vaccines? Who calls for the entire economy shut down?

Come January 21st, 2024 Trump needs to dismiss the entire Pentagon.

Fifth columnists in the ranks.

Spit on someone who’d say that about the Commander in Chief.

No wonder why we don’t win any wars. This general lacks any level of self respect.

This dipwad has NO business being anywhere close to the military. He is EXACTLY the kind of military leader we should cashier with extreme prejudice. By all appearances, he is far too unstable to be in the position he is in...

Does the military take its incompetent people and promote them up the ranks? Is that how it works?

The Church Walk was a misreported event by the Fascist anti-Christian media cabal.

All of the flag officers in the regular services have been compromised. When the next Republican becomes President he needs to bypass them and appoint officers from the National Guards to command positions.

Read the article to the end.

No exact quotes, no precise examples.

Just the usual generic references and sweeping accusations.

Pretty much an echo of the prog media.

Milley has slurred millions of GOP voters as Nazis. If the shoe was on the other foot every Democrat member of Congress would demand he resign.

Can’t laugh at this clown. The position of such a deranged traitor is VERY dangerous for the United States. When a Marxist maniac like Miley is JC chairman at a time we have a senile president and immoral, incompetent VP, coupled with a Chinese arch-enemy of the rise, pray to Almighty God that we get through this.
