Retired Gen. on CNN Says Military Has 'Threat Within' for 2024

Link: https://www.mediaite.com/tv/retired-gen-on-cnn-says-military-has-threat-within-for-2024-warns-stop-listening-to-the-pillow-guy-and-start-learning/

Excerpt:
Retired Gen. Steven M. Anderson spoke to CNN’s Pamela Brown about 2024 and blasted Donald Trump supporters in the military as a threat from within, and advised they stop listening to “the pillow guy” and get educated on civics.

Anderson, along with fellow retired Gens. Paul Eaton and Antonio Taguba, authored an oped earlier this month warning of the potential for a “Trumpian” coup attempt in 2024.

On CNN, he talked about the subject, saying the big problem is where allegiances lie, and the potential for a “cult-like” figure to sway even military members into insurrection. And he mentioned MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell as a major source of misinformation.

Personal Note: I knew Steve Anderson years ago when he was an XO to a Major General. He's a good, solid dude who understands what he's talking about, and he, along with Generals Eaton and Taguba, are taking their oaths seriously.
