Mattis on Wednesday issued an extraordinary rebuke of President Trump.Retired Marine Gen.
"When I joined the military, some 50 years ago, I swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution," Mattis said in a statement. "Never did I dream that troops taking that same oath would be ordered under any circumstance to violate the Constitutional rights of their fellow citizens—much less to provide a bizarre photo op for the elected commander-in-chief, with military leadership standing alongside," Mattis said, referring to a series of events on Monday in which peaceful protesters were cleared from around the White House to make way for an impromptu appearance by the president outside a historic church.
What a flattering photo... duck lips?.... nice
Bullshit!
So the real human being is the one sending millions to the grinder and bringing chaos to the region (again), and probably propup AQ/ISIS/FSA even more. Is it sarcasm?
Thank you
Try the media.
You are an incompetent leader. To have military presence had higher Benefits than the risk. We stopped the riots.
“I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same” Semper Fidelis General Mattis
The enabler says what?
Compare reporting from the center, right and left at
So the Left gets affirmation that the President does not want to unite with you. When in your doctrine you oppose Capitalism and the agenda of the GOP's platform.
Trump is exactly like Modi in India. He has divided Indians in six years more brutally than they were during 1947... The worse is yet to come with another 4 years remaining in his rule...

don-the-con trump IS NOT a: lawyer, Catholic, Jew, Muslim, teacher, brave, compassionate, minister, doctor, ex-military, historian, scientist, literate, benefactor, honest, tax payer, trustworthy, farmer, loyal husband, decisive, law & order president, psychologist, nor physic.
A true patriot speaks out.
Mattis 2020!
Mattis criticism of Trump also incapslate the Republican Senate for their oath they took for the constitution
The warrior monk is a true patriot
Thank you for standing up to Trump and telling the truth. That’s what honor is ....
respirare non possum, et tu, mattis? respirare non possum, mater! mama!!
What a dumb thing to say.
A historian's perspective on the history of U.S. police brutality against Black people
That's a disingenuous statement. It isn't Trump's reaction to nationwide protests, it's his reaction to nationwide violence caused by riots and looting. The citizens affected by these things matter. We can be against police brutality, & against racism & still be against rioting.
We know, now what!

Wow the New World Order agents are crawling out of the woodwork!
Endorse Biden or shut up. Cuz not endorsing is the same as silence. Also thanks for speaking out during the last hour of America.
he has a leftist insurgency to deal with first
bitter
Кто-то верит в это?
That's scathing? I'd rather him go back to no rehearsed airs and say Trump must be smoking something!
What's the Commander & Thief gonna do when his troops abandon him? BunkerBoy AmericaOrTrump DumpTrump2020
BWAAA HAAAA HAAA
He don’t even try that all his doing is fuel the everything
Did Hillary threaten him?
WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG
I used to respect the NPR. I grew up listening to your programs. Now it is hate filled propaganda shit.
All members of the Council on Foreign Relations should be arrested.
There is no uniting with people who think the system is systematically evil. Only undoing of the system.
5:5, Mattis
That’s the gospel truth
Divide and conquer. It has been his strategy all along.
PressSec your defense?
NPR I thought that a Marine Corp is an honorable soldier, but Gen Mattis has shown otherwise. He’s betraying not only our great President Donald J Trump but to all Americans that believe in him. Sad! Sorry for my son who’s serving now with the Marines, bad example. Disgrace!
We are NOT uniting with thugs & rioters ! Otherwise more looting, burning & beating would happen.
WYPublicRadio It’s funny even the oldest DC dweelers are finally showing their true colors. It’s not drained yet, but more are floating to the top.
You didn’t use 25.
We support our President. Were you not fired? Act like it.
Thank you for being a wonderful soul and speaking the truth...I hope this makes a difference in November
Obama divided. On purpose. No apologies for it.
In all fairness Donnie is incapable of uniting people. Narcissistic sociopaths can’t.
Mattis is smart. He knows his book sales will skyrocket after this comment and it will be forgotten in a few weeks. Very smart.
Yeah!!! Gen. Mattis!!!!
Marines never criticize the commander in chief and General Mattis just eviscerated a Republican president.
He doesn't have the capability to do so. It's not in his DNA.
Half the country is voting for him! Who paid you to say that!? Follow the money, folks!
The 100000th time in my life time I’ve been held in chains under colonialism
One is a patriot who served with honor and the other one is a bible wielding bunker hiding dictator wanna be coward. I’d go with the first.

'But I still worked for him.'
There is no uniting with the radical leftist. And that describes a very large portion of Democrats.
