Former Secretary of Defense James Mattis castigated President Donald Trump as"the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people" in a forceful rebuke of his former boss as nationwide protests have intensified over the death of George Floyd.
"Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people—does not even pretend to try. Instead he tries to divide us," Mattis said. "We are witnessing the consequences of three years of this deliberate effort. We are witnessing the consequences of three years without mature leadership. We can unite without him, drawing on the strengths inherent in our civil society.

Welcome to the party! A general who is considered a war hero finally takes a stand. Good start but the bandwagon has been rolling for a while now. But thanks 👍🏽
Nice really nice
Mattis, needs to shut his mouth much like congress and senators that are fueling the terrorists.
The word 'Former' makes all parts of the argument to be irrelevant.
America needs more leadership speaking out.
Y’all realize that it’s bullshit on both ends right? We the people have to do what is right for us, who does all of the leg work? Who bleeds sweats and dies for the labor of this nation? We the people. Who sits behind desks pushing papers and making decisions for us? All of them.
Are we sure he know the meaning of the word unite ?

Did he sleep through Obama's riots?
Protesters should demand Trump be removed from his Presidency ASAP. He has been the biggest dividing force in the US since 2016 - racist, sexist, xenophobic madman hellbent on making his narcissistic fantasies come true. If there ever was a US ‘Hitler,’ it’s him in disguise.
* ex defence secretary ..🤔
Those comments will only add fuel to the fire. Obviously, he has an axe to grind with Trump.
Thats why he was fired. Deep state
How much are they paying maddog?
Sad ass president 🖕🏾🖕🏾🖕🏾🖕🏾🖕🏾 Trump
Guess Biden will be the best choice then. Be ready for him to sniff your teenage daughter’s hair!
ShaneHelmsCom This was one of the few cabinet appointments that I felt Trump got right. Honest and direct. I respected his silence when leaving the administration and respect the timing of his breaking that silence even more. We need more voices like this to speak out.
Look who is talking of nuiting the American prople, the fake news center.
CNN Riot News Network. Can't even try to unite a country just divide it into a civil war. This division that you have caused is partly your fault. At least many of uswould support President Obama in a time of crisis.
He doesn’t even care that’s why...
oh yeah,... Obama looked so lovely when he kicked that door in front of American people...so lovely
AmericaConTrump
Yes, you said it ... thank you for speaking the truth! He MUST go!
He hasn’t even made a statement supporting blm or condemned the behavior of the police. He’s more worried about photo ops & what his supporters will say
The bunker boy is being torn left and right. He deserves that and more.
Mattis wouldn't know the truth if it slapped him
Not true. The divisions have existed before President Trump. Financial class and racial divides have long existed in the US and other nations.
So true! Thank you sir!
CNN supports rioters and thieves and violence. How Awful!
Shut the hell up your just mad because he found you out! See you in gitmo
CNN’s WORST NIGHTMARE 😁😁😁😁
Donald Trump is set on making himself the biggest asshole President in US history and from world opinion he’s well on the way Many world say he actived it shortly after becoming president I disagree It was the first time he opened his big mouth and then those tweets
Not only that, but realDonaldTrump is the biggest Crook, Dummy and Lier that we have ever seen.
Everyone has an opinion.
Great time to invoke Section 4 of the 25th Amendment.
We cant be united when your ideas would destroy freedom and enslave us
SR presidente, usted, es el comandante en jefe
… because he works for Russia. We know these KGB tactics! Divide and rule! Putin gives him the advices what to do!
Trump what a psychopath
96% Republicans support President Trump
Sour grapes & Its an election year.
james mattis was part of a failed coup against the USA.
How many more people are going to die while you spew race baiting crap. How do you sleep at night? Oh yea, you don't care.
Man of honor right there
Would be pretty hard to find some ex who would be still friendly :D
'We are witnessing the consequences of three years without mature leadership,' Mattis said
