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.”

Looks likes he’s well-positioned to lobby for gov’t/mil contracts.

All part of the set up to attempt to nullify an anticipated Trump victory in 2024 should he run and win.

When the voting majority stand up and go against the will of the ruling class, that is a resistance, not a coup.

I missed that article in the constitution that gives a presidential advisor, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, authority to promise our enemies that he will warn them before an attack. Also, apparently I overlooked the constitutional provisions pertaining to the voting privileges of the deceased and non-citizens, as well as those who may be extended the rights to vote multiple times in a single election. I reread the document, and no where could I find where members of congress are exempted from inside trading laws.
I will try harder.

These “Generals” remind me of DEMONcrats, and that not ALL military are on our side.

So, this retired General. Is he retired from the PLA, perhaps.

Hey General Thunder Tudd: how many wars did we prevail in while you were at the helm in the executive offices? The “old warriors never die, they just fade away” is not for you apparently.

Just another NeverTrumper wed to the Bush family and lamenting that the Crowned Prince, Jeb, wasn’t so crowned.

I was going to say the same.
Pillow guy may be a former doper, but probably understands American civics better than this guy.
