This is not going to play out well...GOP going after the military

@FPWellman
Laura Ingraham wants to cut the military budget to punish our service members. This is “conservative” thought now. These people are Russian agents.

The rethugs have always been phony patriots and phony supporters of the military. I hope they keep this up.

At least Ingraham ADMITS "conservative evangelicals" are in fact extremists.

He apologized for his part in Trump's St. John's Church fiasco and today he squashed Matt Gaetz and his kind with a devastating take down of critical race theory in the the military...so now that vapid Ingraham twit wants to defund the military..brilliant and insightful as always...

This kind of thing is what derailed the last McCarthy.

It's like Sun Tzu famously said, "Don't stop the village idiot from repeatedly sticking his finger in the fan, if it amuses you."

Yeah, Gen Milley isn't the only read-y one around, y'know.

I think the stripes are for time spent on overseas duty, probably not all combat assignments. But, they're something that Mr Gaetz will certainly not earn.

but Hertling is retired military. BTW, he will be on CNN tonight @ 9PM, to discuss General Milley's testimony and the domestic terrorist attack on the Capitol.

Right-wing media, Trump and his cronies and worshipers, and other so-called conservatives routinely parrot Kremlin talking points. We are well past coincidence, and even have some direct evidence.
