with Defense Secretary Mark Esper, Army Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and others to pose for a picture with a Bible in front of the church, which had been damaged in a riot the night before. The photo-op came minutes after Trump announced he was prepared to"We do not need to militarize our response to protests. We need to unite around a common purpose," Mattis wrote.
Trump, he said, is a divider, and the country is"witnessing the consequences of three years of this deliberate effort." "We can unite without him, drawing on the strengths inherent in our civil society. This will not be easy, as the past few days have shown, but we owe it to our fellow citizens,” Mattis wrote., suggested in his resignation letter that Trump was not treating allies with respect and had not been"clear-eyed" about U.S. enemies and competitors. The president, he said, should have a defense chief who shares his views.
He told the Atlantic last year he had no plans to speak out against the administration, saying “you need to give the people who are still there as much opportunity as possible to defend the country." But, he added, “There is a period in which I owe my silence. It’s not eternal. It’s not going to be forever.”"I have watched this week’s unfolding events, angry and appalled. The words 'Equal Justice Under Law' are carved in the pediment of the United States Supreme Court. This is precisely what protesters are rightly demanding," Mattis said.
Trump's the American Traitor, he's breaking the law, i hope he flees the United States for America and never comes back
Twerp has bruised feelings.
'Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey' John Lennon's prophetic words about the Deep State.
He’s just blowing hot air and so is NBC News.
Mattis is power hungry and likes to kiss media ass.
It’s like 1968 all over again.
NBCNightlyNews BS Mattis. If you hadn't noticed Mattis, it doesn't matter what the man says, the hatred began before the inauguration. There is NOTHNG for him to say or do that would be acceptable by the democrats or the MSM.
He’s FULL OF BULLSHIT
His two-scoop ice cream eating ass is too busy “posing” with bibles
He never listened to Barack Obama I guess.
Republicans selling their Trump stock after reading this:
Twitter storm coming
Wonderful!!!
I do not unite to thugs and hooligans. Libtards also discuss me, so why the hell do I want him to unit with that scum?
Far too little: He must condemn 45's Republican enablers for their unconstitutional actions -- violating their oaths, the GOP's LegislativeGraveyard, stealing a SCOTUS seat, breaking 200 year old precedents Far too late: He didn't speak when it mattered TooLittleTooLate
Addressing The Nation Pleading For Help via YouTube
He has never been nor will be a leader. He does not represent the people of America. He is a narcissistic, racist dotard. VoteOutTheGOP VoteOutHate
Mattis is butt hurt because President Trump stopped his endless wars. Move on nothing to see here. CorruptMedia CorruptGovernment
Please send Sec. Mattis a heartfelt thank you!
More and more people are saying in 2020 what I said in 2016...
Oh good. A FORMER PRESIDENT, is going to address the nation tonight about the riots. I’ll take a hard pass. I watched 8 years of him fanning the racial flames, I don’t need to see one more minute of it.
I trust in Mad Dog
About time
The liberals made their choice when he was first sworn in. Not their President remember? Nothing he says will matter to them. So fuck em
Now? Really? He should've a long time ago.
All he is doing is dividing the EVIL from the good so he can remove the EVIL. That's all, it's not rocket fakery.
Shut up Mattis. You're part of the swamp
Well you elected him!
Mattis has given good fodder to Democrats media factories?
Welcome to the Resistance, General Mattis!
You guys are such a joke. Looking forward to November when the fake news loses their minds again!
Was Mattis asleep during the 8 years that President Obama divided the USA with his racist rhetoric and actions?
And this is supposed to unite us?
Reunited and it feels so good. Welcome back Mad Dog!
Keyword. Former.
Mad Dog resists. We welcome all resisters
Can't be an ax to grind. Nah.
