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.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

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:
