Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley told then-President Donald Trump that the violent demonstrations following the death of George Floyd were just 'penny packet protests,' according to a new book.
Milley reportedly downplayed the unrest in the country last May, and rejected Trumps' suggestion protesters were 'burning America down.'
'Mr. President, they are not burning it down,' Milley said, according to Peril by Watergate journalist Bob Woodward, and Washington Post reporter Robert Costa.
It's still unclear when in May the conversation occurred, but there had been an array of protests throughout numerous cities following Floyd's May 25 death after cop Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for more than nine minutes.

Gen. M. Milley, When You and Joe Decided To Exit Afghanistan, WHY WOULD YOU ALLOW, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, WOULD LEAVE AMERICAN CITIZENS TO THESE PEOPLE-??? My Thought is You Became A "WOKE" MEMBER OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY-!!! and Please Don't Tell Me That You Are NOT POLITICAL, because I'll PUKE-!!! GROW SOME BALLS-!!! STAND FOR THE OATH YOU TOOK
Lopez,
If you remember nothing else in life, remember this, "Nothing, absolutely nothing has ever been created from negativity."

In any "Domestic Situation" when one member is lying prone, no longer breathing nor displaying signs of life, "Politics" left the arena.

I wouldn't exactly call burning a church a matter of "domestic politics." Somehow, we have gotten contrasting narratives out there.
With "Murder Rates" increasing over 500% in all our major cities in 2021, and "Shell Casings Count" of approximately 1,000 from once incident two nights ago in Portland Oregon, all in Black and Hispanic Areas of Our Cities, evidence demonstrates the Enemies within far outweigh the Enemies without. Once Our Own Nation is once again United, No Enemy can put us under.

The results of BLM were riots, personal and public property destruction, arson, assaults, looting, shootings, murder and death, along with the "Forced Education of Racial Division" and the Cult Hero Worship of a Convicted Petty Felon was a far worse, far more destructive, far longer lasting "Insurrection Against The United States of America" than witnessed in over a Century! It is still continuing. It is still spreading as a cancer, and yet nothing within the "Framework of Our Constitution" is being to end it! In this Nation there is still the Standard of "Priority of Prosecution", meaning, The Law Must Cite First What Is Observed First!"

Why is our attention always diverted by the left when larger fish should be frying?
5 minute trial Short Rope And a Tall Tree! Fix his problems.
Milley - you should be apologizing to the Country for being an anti-American fool - you traitor.
