CJCS Sets Right-wingers Straight

June 24, 2021 By: El Jefe Category: critical race theory

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Four Star General Mark Milley set right-wingers  in the House straight yesterday when he lashed out at Matt Gaetz and other Republicans who have made Critical Race Theory, a longstanding academic perspective for understanding institutional racism, their flavor of the month to whip up the base.  National Embarrassment of Texas, Dan Crenshaw, and Tom Cotton of Arkansas have used the lie that the military is getting “woke” and soft and set up a “whistleblower” website for active duty military to report “wokeness” in their ranks.  The whole thing is idiotic, and only the uninformed are wound up about it.   Near the end of an Armed Services Committee hearing where Matt Gaetz and others pushed the Woke Lie, General Milley was given an opportunity to respond to their nonsensical assertions, his response was epic and a MUST WATCH.  As of this morning, it’s been watched over 6 million times, just another example of Republicans being their own worst enemies.

    Dang! What an intelligent, well-informed, open-minded response to the nonsense being promulgated by the Dumb and Dumbers (Gaetz, et al.) of the GQP. Thank you, General!

  2. I was glad to see that little weasel being put in his place. What a pathetic excuse for a human. The general was awesome, and it was a pleasure to hear his comments. Thanks, El Jefe.

  3. Who was Milley referring to as the other Green Beret as he closed?

    John at 3: I believe the general was responding to FL Republican Michael Waltz, who is a former Green Beret. But as to the general’s response, MOST EXCELLENT!!

  5. Gaetz is insufferable in this clip. Acting as if he is the wise one and the general doesn’t know what he is talking about.

    The only way that this could have been improved would have been with a quote from the truly former and rarely missed Governor Rick Perry……….It just screams for a good solid “Adios Mofo”

    Let’s compare military service between General Milkey and Gaetz

    General Mark Milley
    Years of service – 1980–present
    Rank – General

    Matt (Killer/Rambo) Gaetz
    Years of Service – Zilch, Nada, None
    Rank – Private Arsehole

    I misspelled General Milley’s name is should be General Milley, not Milkey.

    Well expressed.

    Assuming the General is pretty smart, his comments about CRT that he “didn’t quite understand it” are telling.

    CRT is a fake theory, and i’d be surprised if anyone here can define it with more than vague fake terms. But go ahead.

    The objection to it is that it is, on its face, racist.

    It’s original sin for white kids. Makes parents angry.

    Africans were defined as 3/5 of a person, not 3/4.

    Reminds me of the time Joe McCarthy decided to go after the Army. It didn’t end well for him, either. “Have you no decency, Mr. Gaetz, at long last?” We know the answer to that.

    And today, fux news is calling for congress to defund the military because they’re trying to understand what caused the insurrection and the role of extremists and racist in their ranks. How dare the military take a stand to protect democracy. Leave it to gaetz and fux news.
