‘Stop listening to the pillow guy’: Retired general says ‘ignorant’ pro-Trump troops pose ‘threat within,’ must be removed


One of the Trump-obsessed former generals who recently penned an op-ed calling for the military to purge those accused of wrongthink has doubled down on his divisive rhetoric, telling a CNN host that it’s vital to “get them out of our ranks.”


Speaking with weekend anchor Pamela Brown early Saturday morning, retired U.S. Army Brigadier Gen. Steven M. Anderson equated these dissenting military members with “enemies foreign and domestic.”

“[Y]ou know, 43 years ago I took an oath to the country that I would support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic,” he said.

“And my co-authors and I and [the] VoteVets Organization we work with closely are — we’re tremendously concerned about the threat internally, the threat domestically, within the military in particular,” Anderson added, referencing the other two retired generals with whom he’d written the op-ed for The Washington Post.

Apparently the1954 Puerto Rican House shooting was a mere protest

And the attempted baseball practice assassination of Steve Scalise and other Repubs was a protest
But 1/6 Capitol Police riot and murders of Conservatives was an attempted coup
Right, got it
