Washington Post columnist memorably and honorably blasted back at some of the Fox News personalities and right-wing activists masquerading as journalists. It was delicious.
Imagine if a Squad member called a general a stupid pig. Tucker Carlson just did."At a hearing of the House Armed Services Committee last week, Republicans expressed outrage that an elective course at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point includes information about critical race theory and “white rage.” This prompted a memorable rebuke from Gen. Mark A. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
“I personally find it offensive that we are accusing the United States military … of being ‘woke’ or something else because we’re studying some theories that are out there,” Milley said. “I want to understand white rage — and I’m White. What is it that caused thousands of people to assault this building and try to overturn the Constitution of the United States of America?”
With conservatives like this, it’s no wonder our country is so screwed up. Thanks to Trump, the guardrails are gone. These right-wing blowhards — most of whom have never served a day in uniform — now feel free to revile decorated combat veterans such as Milley. Imagine what kind of hissy fit the right would throw if a member of “the Squad” called a four-star general a stupid pig. Yet the most popular cable-TV host in America does it without a peep of protest from the right."
Thank you for the honest words, Max. Wish somebody at Fox "News" was listening.
