Lt. Col. Ralph Peters, a former Fox News military analyst who left after accusing the network of "assaulting our constitutional order and the rule of law" in collaboration with President Trump, talks to CNN's Brian Stelter about his views on President Trump's impact on the country.
"What is the most dreadful part about it, for you?" Stelter asked.
"The most dreadful part is that we have a president who does not respect our system of government," Peters said. He continued to say his former employee FOX News were "prostitutes," "amoral," and "opportunistic... People that only listen to Fox have an utterly skewed view of reality."
PETERS: The people supporting Trump are radicals, these couch-potato anarchists. They’re people that don’t have a program to make America great again. And by the way, America’s great right now. Rather, they’re destructive. They want to tear things down. They want vengeance. And Trump is brilliant at that. He’s done what autocrats and charlatans and false messiahs throughout history have done. He’s told his core supporters, “You are not to blame. You are not to blame for the mistakes you’ve made. You are not to blame for your failures. It’s them. It’s minorities; it’s immigrants; it’s fake news.”

“What actually does he mean?”
Ralphie needs to explain. He needs to squeak up.
I used to like R. P., now he sounds like a lunatic.
Ralph was a couch potato-chip Colonel.
He learned everything there is to know about warfare just by watching CNN and the History Channel from his couch.
No. He called Obama a "pussy" on the Varney & Co. show on FBN. He was one of the Fox News analysts that get paid for their opinions. FOX took him off the air for 2 weeks as punishment for that word used to describe POTUS. But, he returned to FOX after that.
I don't know why he feels the need to bash both the Fox network and the American people who watch that network; but, I'll remember his words next time I see him on a screen.
Hell hath no fury like a scorned military analyst?
Ralph is trying to be relevant and important.
And yes, Trump is not your typical swamp politician, mainly interested in keeping his/her seat in politics and pocket as much money as possible.
“There’s usually a reason you only make O-5.”
We know one of these, and he was a West Pointer.
He got his O5 as part of his discharge. A nice guy but not a leader.
“Peters is a peter. He is a war hawk always looking for a war. He advocates war with Russia.”
He never saw a war, that he didn’t love.
If he could not find a war to push, he would help start one.
That’s almost as bad as an Eagle Scout who couldn’t make it past his automatic PFC promotion.
Nothing the Media/DNC has breathlessly warned us about regarding Trump for the past 3 years, has happened.
If, Trump was a tyrant and Hitler, all these people criticizing him would be DEAD or getting gassed!
Faggot says what? ...
He need to hook up with the other colonel and fry chicken
