Official resigns from Pentagon advisory board over Esper's perceived support for clearing protest outside White House

Miller called what he saw as Esper's support for suppressing the protest a violation of Esper's oath of office. Miller served as the Pentagon's undersecretary of defense for policy during the Obama administration."When I joined the Board in early 2014, after leaving government service as Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, I again swore an oath of office, one familiar to you, that includes the commitment to 'support and defend the Constitution of the United States . . .

John's Episcopal Church, a historic house of worship, where the President posed for photos, some of which included Esper and several other top officials. The exterior of the church had been defaced during protests outside the White House on Sunday and there had been a small fire in the parish house basement, but church leaders said in a statement that the structure was largely"untouched.

ChrisCuomo This is trumps vision of the master race .America meet the Grand Wizard of the United States of America a.k.a Bunker Boy

Say it CNN: cleaning means oppress protestors via militarización of the country. Shame on you all jurnos for manufacturing content on the militarization of the country! 🙈🙉🙊

TomArnold

This guy is an Obama guy and donates to the Democrats and Biden. This decision is purely political. Adios!

ChrisCuomo Anyone of character would at this juncture work harder to protect civilians. The public does not want to read about quitters. Where is the coverage of the cartel killing people nationwide? My India uncle a Brigadier General used to say CNN is the best in the world. What happened?

Good riddance to useless people that won’t do their jobs

TekStol We need people to stay on the inside and help us dismantle the administration and trump

ChrisCuomo Stop quitting! All the do is repack the cult with pro cult people. It doesn’t do America any good to quit!

Coward

Why do people resign !!!? Stay in and fight this BS

What did they do - stand in front of the church for a few minutes, hold up a bible, and leave? No words? That’s just bizarre.

TomArnold 6 untalented people.

Another Obama holdout gone. Excellent!

Good for you James Miller!

Trump befouls anything he gets near. Now he’s dragging Military through the mud.

Good, we don’t want someone who isn’t interested in stopping rioters and looters and murders over tv’s being looted

Esper (and all the rest) know EXACTLY who they work for! They are either with him or they're not. Esper stood beside him for this disgusting photo - he's with him!

Yes he was probably another Obama leftover and a spy! I’d clean house of all those people! Spies

Great respect for a man standing up for what is right rather than being forced to carry out some indoctrination that goes against his belief, love of country, and it’s very people!!

related with David McAtee murder

Time for cry babies to retire

I saw a picture of some soldiers on stairs that looked like these on MSNBC not long ago except they were in marine corps uniforms with my guess being the were US Military.

I believe this is the long awaited article about DavidDorn.

TomArnold Obama appointee... of course not mentioned ...FakeNewsCNN

Another will take his place.

Good! Media made false claims. What a 👶 baby

Hopefully we will see may more strength of character resignations within this hideous administration. Honestly, I don’t know how any one stays.

G6 😀

Drain that swamp

Good

This is playing into Trumps small hands. He just replaces them with yes men.

pussy

I understand you, because I got out in 2016 when I saw this trainwreck coming.

Not surprising at all.

Good for them.

DRAIN THE SWAMP

I expect real soon more and more people will be distancing themselves from the tRump stink. Even GOP lawmakers.

Officer Derek Chauvin was trained by the Israeli Police who do this to Palestinians every day!

A former top policy official at the Pentagon has resigned from his role on the Defense Advisory Board due to what he said was Secy. of Defense Mark Esper's visible support for law enforcement officers' clearing of protesters from Lafayette Square on Monday. 'Smart man'!

Haha. Joke news

Joe Biden—44 years in office Chuck Schumer—39 years in office Nancy Pelosi—33 years in office Maxine Waters—29 years in office Dianne Feinstein—28 years in office If America is such a 'systemically racist' country ...Why haven't these Democrats done anything to fix it?

4000 Black on Black shootings in Chicago under Obama-Biden and nobody cared

Little man scared go hide back in the bunker Bunker boy Bunker boy

Drain the swamp. We need the holdovers gone. Next one!

Good Riddance. Probably a Slick Willie Clinton, Bush, Barry Obama hold-over....

Good riddance.

Secy. of Defense Mark Esper supported law enforcement officers' clearing of protesters from Lafayette Square on Monday after curfew and after they threw bricks, frozen bottles of water at the officers.

Bye, Pansy!

Can we get David Dorn trending? African-American retired police captain shot in the head by looters as he tried to defend his business. Will CNN dare cover it? While y'all were busy preparing to post black squares on Instagram, David Dorn was bleeding to death. Say his name.

President Trump should of let the sing an hymn, if the media so wanted a worship service.

And! Probably another Obama/Bush hold over...good riddance!

That is certainly the 'former top policy official' 's prerogative. Thank you for informing us. I'm sure we will miss him tremendously. Actually, that is probably not the case. It's just a job. But we will miss the people who are being KILLED in the RIOTS. Along with George.

I tweeted 3 years ago that realDonaldTrump will one day use the military to kill Americans. What we saw yesterday is just the beginning.

Resigning doesn’t help! Growing a spine will.

The protesters are all fighters of democracy. They are heroes. They are a beautiful landscape

After Modly you knew Esper was terrible, think about those sailors on the Theodore Roosevelt!

DavidDorn

They had to clear Lafayette Square in a hurry. The photographer said they were going to lose the light.

cnn ATT TWO BLACK OFFICERS WHERE MUDERED OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS AND NOT ONE NEWS OUTLET OTHER THAN FOXNEWS HAS REPORTED THIS, WHY? I THOUGH BLM MATTERED? WHY NOT A PROTEST FOR THESE TWO BRAVE HEROES? SMH

Don’t let the door hit ya where the Good Lord split ya!! 🚪 👋

An Obama appointed official

DavidDorn say his name.

ItIsHotInHere Good for him. Some courage and decency. Where are the rest of the resignations?

Wonderful....allow the position to go to someone else immediately 👌 Perhaps he should get out tonight ...help SAVE BUSINESSES AND JOBS!!!

Nice cover story CNN. He was part of the swamp. Qanon

Thank God, someone grew their balls and conscience back in this administration.

Another Liberal bites the dust.
