In this latest video commentary, Fox News’ Tucker Carlson wonders why the current chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff — a leftist extremist named Gen. Mark Milley — is still in command of the United States military, despite embracing Marxist Critical Race Theory, making authoritarian comments such as smearing Donald Trump and his millions of supporters as the moral equivalent of Adolph Hitler and his Nazi Brownshirts, and having previously intimated that President Trump should be removed from office in a military coup. This from frontpagemag.com.
Carlson calls for Milley’s removal from office.

Tucker Carlson: Good evening, and welcome to Tucker Carlson Tonight.
Here’s a story we’d completely forgotten about, because there are so many. Just before last November’s presidential election, two former army officers wrote an open letter to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, a man called Mark Milley, who still has the job. The letter became public. It was published on a left-wing blog called Defense One and, within minutes, was all over the internet.
The authors of the letter had a direct order from Mark Milley, who, strictly speaking, did not report to them. “If Donald Trump refuses to leave office,” the letter began, “the United States military must remove him by force. And you must give that order.” You must remove the President by force. That was a little shocking; what country is this?
Even the usual power-mad partisans in the news media began to wonder if that was really a good idea. Slate.com, of all places, reminded its readers that no matter how orange Donald Trump might be, military coups generally turn out to be unwise. The Pentagon had to go on the record as opposing it, too. The rest of us could keep civilian control of our government. And what a relief that was.
Within days, the story just kind of receded, another weird footnote to a weird four years. But if you paused it and thought about it for a second, you had to wonder: Where did that idea even come from? Did two former U.S. military officers really just suggest removing the President of the United States by force of arms? Since when do American military officers talk like that or think like that? And do a lot of them have views like that?
We pushed that consideration from our minds. But we shouldn’t have. Now we know that Mark Milley himself is the sort of person who considers military coups entirely within the realm of possibility.
A new book written by reporters at The Washington Post who cover Mark Milley reveals that the current Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is a legitimate extremist. He’s the last person you would give power to if you could possibly help it. In the book, Milley describes Donald Trump and the millions of people who supported him as the moral equivalent of Adolf Hitler. As thousands of Trump supporters peacefully gathered in Washington for what they assumed was a constitutionally protected political rally, the kind we’ve had for hundreds of years, shortly after the election; Milley likened them to Brown Shirts. That is the paramilitary wing of the Nazi Party.
Trump’s complaints about voter fraud, Milley explained to his advisors out loud, were actually calls for genocide. “This is a Reichstag moment,” Milley said, “the gospel of the Führer.” Those are quotes. Think about that.
So your grandfather joined the U.S. military to go overseas to risk his life to fight the Nazis. Now the head of the U.S. military calls you a Nazi for having your grandfather’s political views. What do you think of that?
Keep in mind that Mark Milley is a man the media tells us is a deep intellectual, someone who reads books and stuff, not just Wikipedia. And yet, this well-read man of history is comparing nearly half of our country to Adolf Hitler. And that would include, by the way, the many Hispanics in the Rio Grande Valley who voted for Trump because they agreed with him on immigration.
Mark Milley is not simply an average guy down the street with strange, questionable, sometimes frightening views. Neither is he an angry drunk on a bar stool who everyone knows is full of crap but they give him a wide circle. General Mark Milley has control of this country’s nuclear weapons and he is saying things that are very divisive and have the potential of bringing about much destruction.
Are we okay with this?
