“In an extraordinary rebuke, former defense secretary Jim Mattis on Wednesday denounced President Donald Trump’s heavy-handed use of military force to quell protests near the White House and said his former boss was setting up a ‘false conflict’ between the military and civilian society.”
—Ex-defense chief Mattis rips Trump for dividing Americans
See the problem with this is the problem that I have with white people who let these words fall out of their mouths,
“I didn’t know it would get so bad.”
Those are the same people who are more than likely saying,
“Give him a chance.”
Mattis knew Trump was a mad man this whole time and let him get away with way too much before taking this stand and trying to hold him accountable.
I’m sorry,
“mad dog” can miss me with this – he gets no 🍪
