Retired Gen. on CNN Says Military Has ‘Threat Within’ for 2024, Warns ‘Stop Listening to the Pillow Guy and Start Learning’

Retired Gen. Steven M. Anderson spoke to CNN’s Pamela Brown about 2024 and blasted Donald Trump supporters in the military as a threat from within, and advised they stop listening to “the pillow guy” and get educated on civics.

Anderson, along with fellow retired Gens. Paul Eaton and Antonio Taguba, authored an oped earlier this month warning of the potential for a “Trumpian” coup attempt in 2024.

On CNN, he talked about the subject, saying the big problem is where allegiances lie, and the potential for a “cult-like” figure to sway even military members into insurrection. And he mentioned MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell as a major source of misinformation.

“There’s a threat within,” said the retired general. “We’ve got some people that just haven’t been educated. They haven’t been found out, and they’ve grown in power, through perhaps inaction on the parts of some of our key leaders.”

Gen. Anderson sounds like he was part of the coup that put President Houseplant in office and he sees something brewing and knows he won't be able to stop it...

So now we have former military guys threatening citizens for daring to have opinions on electoral matters? It sounds to me like we have a much bigger problem than the “Pillow Guy.”

It sounds to me like THEY are planning something so outrageous that it provokes some previously unknown FBI-infiltrated militia into doing something, which will be taken as proof that they (the left) were right all along.

Every treasonous Derp Stater who participated in the insurrectionist coup to install a Red China puppet and child molester needs to hang from every lamppost and tree in D.C. Have their rotting corpses remain until picked clean by the vultures.

Stalin did that and would have been crushed by the Nazis if it had not been for the allied forces providing needed weapons and materials.

The thing about all of this that is really amazing is that the general here isnt talking about some shadowy group that’s been quietly bubbling up somewhere somehow. No he’s talking about all the people who support the other guy(Trump)

These anti America lying sons of bitches are really starting to wear…

Look at what this guy said.

Now you start to understand why we couldn’t beat a country of goat herders in 20 years.
