Esper: Take Trump comments about using military against Americans ‘seriously’
by Sarah Fortinsky - 10/15/24 7:43 AM ET
 

Former Secretary of Defense Mark Esper, who served in the Trump administration, said Monday the public should take former President Trump “seriously” when he suggests using the military against American citizens.

“Yes I do, of course,” Esper told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on “The Source” when asked whether he fears Trump would “try to utilize the National Guard, the military, against U.S. citizens.”


“Because I lived through that, and I saw over the summer of 2020 where President Trump and those around him wanted to use the National Guard in various capacities in cities such as Chicago and Portland and Seattle,” Esper said.

I don't know if this is true, but I would think these same clowns who claim Trump will use the military against Americans would be going bonkers over it.  I've seen it today in several different places.  Of course, it's only bad if non-democrats/liberals do it. :whistle:
