Joint Chiefs must stepfown unless they disavow violence from BLM & Antifa

A group of military leaders broke with President Donald Trump and rebuked the "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville over the weekend — a near-historic development for U.S. civil-military relations.
Since Sunday, five U.S. service chiefs — representing the Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines and National Guard — have tweeted their denunciation of the white nationalists whose rally led to the killing of a counter-protester on Saturday. Two police officers covering the rally also died when their helicopter crashed.
The joint chiefs condemnation of racism and white supremacist groups is notable because it stands in stark contrast with Trump's statements that blamed both white-nationalist marchers and counter-protesters — even though it was a Nazi sympathizer who caused all of the casualties.
It is also remarkable because American military leaders tend to stay outside of the political arena.

Did these dudes also denounce antifa and BLM?
Stay out of politics, or get replaced!
What the Hell were they expecting, the Joint Chiefs to support the KKK?
The attempted MSM narrative is getting into Monty Python territory. This skit is getting entirely too silly.
I agree there. They should not be doing it.
Yes, of course they did
Now go hug a transgendered dolphin who escaped a tuna net for the cameras, generals
Wasn’t talking those who frequent this forum.
Fake News. President Trump rebuked the violence at the rally, and the violent groups and their ideology, so if the military leaders also rebuked it, there's no 'broke' to be broke
Reporter is spinning this. President Trump was not rebuked.
So they support Antifa and the BLM thugs.
The operant bigotry at Charlottesville was not racism. It Ameriphobia.
Odd how the leftist media was triggered by tiki torches but okay with this @zz shooting fire directly at someone.
Joint Chiefs statement bump for later....
In does not appear that anyone in all the pictures that you have posted is Mr. Harris?
So, why did the mob of White Power pukes attack him?
AntiFa, NAZIs, Neo NAZIs and the Workers Party USA are all on the same side - Fascists. They are all enemies of Freedom, Free Markets and the US Constitution.
If you repeat lie enough, pretty soon people start to believe it.
Just part of the War Against Western Civ...
“A group of military leaders broke with President Donald Trump and rebuked the “Unite the Right” rally”
The people at that rally had a right to peacefully express their views via a march and protest. Trump has soundly renounced all violence no matter their politics. What he has not done and should not do is claim their Constitutional rights should be abridged or denied because of their view points. If those “leaders” do not get the difference this nation is in very deep piles.
You don’t see your home boys blue backpack? He’s with pink shirt who as you know, as one of the ratchet yutes who tried to hit the young man marching from behind.
But ai see you are not one who’s really looking.
The NYT has been forced to recognize that it’s out th re and is waxing poetical over it.
No, your arrow points to a man in a blue shirt standing calmly on the sidewalk.
