H.R. McMaster: Trump’s Election Comments ‘Is Something That Our Founders Feared’
Breitbart ^ | 24 September 2020 | PAM KEY

Posted on 09/25/2020 7:47:14 AM PDT by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Former National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster on Thursday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Situation Room” called President Donald Trump’s comments about not committing to a peaceful transfer of power “very disappointing.”

Anchor Wolf Blitzer said, “Let’s talk about issues facing the American people right now. The president, very worrisome, refusing, I never thought I would see this or hear this, refusing to commit to a peaceful transfer of power if he were to use the presidential election. Did you ever think you would hear that coming from a president of the United States?”

McMaster said, “No, Wolf, this is very disappointing. Really this is something that our Founders feared. If you go back to the Federalist Papers and look at what James Madison and Alexander Hamilton wrote about, they wrote about the danger of factions, they meant political parties, if we identify with them more than we identify with our Republic, that that could lead to violence and so forth.”

He added, “We have to demand that our leaders restore confidence in our democratic principles and institutions and processes. And of course, it’s the administration who has responsibility to secure the election process. There’s been a lot of work done within that administration to do it after the lessons of the 2016 election. I think the comments are very unfortunate, Wolf. As you mentioned, our elections have been under attack in the past. Let’s not attack them ourselves. Let’s come together as Americans and execute a process we can have confidence in.”

In my 33.5 years of service, I have never seen such traitorous, disrespectful actions towards the Commander in Chief. It troubles my spirit greatly. The military is no longer the same. It is on a quick downward spiral. Obama is the anti-Christ, but I didn't disrespect his position as Commander in Chief. I know that God will deal with Obama soon enough. I pray to God, again, that He allows Trump to be blessed with another term and expose and circumvent the cheating that the Dems are currently planning.

Did our Founders fear an all out conspiracy to undermine the integrity of our Presidential election funded by rich conspiratorial left-wing elitists and supported by rogue former generals??????

I say they did and that is why we have the 2nd Amendment.

Amen.

So McMaster thinks the founders of the Constitutional Republic he is trying to overthrow would have feared Trump? McMaster needs to spend some time at Gitmo answering questions.

We still haven’t peacefully transferred power from the 2016 election.

We’re fighting a war. So of course the peaceful transfer cannot be guaranteed.

All it means is that Dem fraud will not go unchalleged. We all want free and fair elections, right?

Well said. You know the score.

Thank you for your service.

It is so obvious that people like McMaster are under Demonic influence/control.

Herbert Raymond McMaster is the Fouad and Michelle Ajami
Fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University.

Stanford supports SEDITION as does the SOB McMaster.

Hmmmmm. Does the “S” in Stanford stand for SEDITION???

These folks rely on the American ignorance of our own history.
Modern day politics are a pillow fight compared the rhetoric used in the 19th century.

I wonder if HR is concerned about the open ballot tampering by the Democrat Party in this election? When you only see the problems on one side it pretty much says your a partisan of the other side.

Did you ever think that both parties would conspire to violate the Constitution and put a British subject/Kenyan/Indonesian in office in direct violation of the Constitution?

Well, it happened.

And then the usurper went about corrupting our entire government to the point of trying to rig the election of his successor and using every agency to destroy her opponent.

McMaster has earned a noose. This scumbag is a traitor. His public hanging would be worthy of a national holiday.

Amen.

McMaster is another wolf.

Who recommended this guy, to POTUS, when Flynn was let go? Pence? Reince? I can’t remember.

Let’s not forget, the question was “win, lose or draw, will you commit to a peaceful transition?”. That implies that no matter how the election is decided, he has to agree to transfer of power.

Democrats are trying to say...”Hey we are going to cheat and you cannot say a damn thing, just roll over and take it”. I think if it came down to defending the Constitution and upholding the law, the military will side with Trump. The Democrats want to riot..well there is always that “Enemies foreign and domestic” thing. A few Abrahms tanks with a platoon of infantry can make quick work of an insurrection. Places like East St. Louis and South Central LA ...they could be fishing out the bodies for weeks.

Hillary Clinton says: “Joe Biden must not concede. Ever.”
President Trump says: “Let’s wait and see.”

The media has a big problem with Trump’s audacity?
