In an interview on ā60 Minutesā on Wednesday, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Mark Milley said he will take āappropriate measuresā to make sure he and his family are safe in the wake of recent comments made by former President Trump.
Milleyās words come after a Truth Social post by Trump last week calling the chairman a āWoke train wreckā and accusing him of treason, seeming to reference calls made by Milley to China for reassurance at the end of Trumpās term.
āThis is an act so egregious that, in times gone by, the punishment would have been DEATH!ā Trumpās post read. āA war between China and the United States could have been the result of this treasonous act. To be continued!!!ā
āIāve got adequate safety precautions,ā the military leader said in response to a question about his concern about his safety from CBSās Norah OāDonnell.
Yet if any other citizen were to make comments like that about a government official, weād already be locked up. How many lines does he have to cross before somebody will get the balls to throw the book at him?
He could literally shoot someone on 5th Avenue and get away with it.
