The ousting of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy illuminates the choice that confronts Republicans in Congress and in the voting booth: chaos or the Constitution.
President Donald Trump speaks as the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Mark Milley, listens during a briefing with senior military leaders in the Cabinet Room at the White House in 2019. In his retirement speech last week, Milley warned against fealty to dictators, in words clearly aimed at Trump.
He described Trump as “A person who has no idea what America stands for and has no idea what America is all about.” “A person who admires autocrats and murderous dictators. A person that has nothing but contempt for our democratic institutions, our Constitution, and the rule of law.Kelly’s fury reflects a host of belated critiques by an astonishing number of former Trump officials such as former Defense Secretary Mark Esper, who told CNN in November, “
Milley ran afoul of Trump’s wrath when he apologized for being unwittingly dragooned, while in uniform, into a Trump political photo op in Lafayette Square, after the president had ordered a peaceful protest there dispersed with force. As the Pentagon’s top officer, Milley faced his greatest challenge over Trump’s refusal to admit he lost to Joe Biden and his efforts to overturn the election.
