Gen. Dan Caine, who, since becoming chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in April, broke with Donald J. Trump’s assessment of the threat posed by Russia and the protests in Los Angeles, during a Senate Appropriations subcommittee hearing, and we’re sure the raging narcissist will take this calmly and thoughtfully.
South Carolina GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham asked Caine whether Putin intends to “stop in Ukraine,” and he replied, “I don’t believe so, sir.”
Sen. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) asked Trump’s top General if he believes the protests in Los Angeles are a sign the United States is “being invaded by a foreign nation,” as Donald told an audience of soldiers Tuesday in N.C.
“At this point in time, I don’t see any foreign, state-sponsored folks invading,” the General replied, “but I’ll be mindful of the fact that there has been some border issues throughout time.”
Via The Washington Post:
When Schatz asked if there has been a “rebellion” against the government, another politically charged term the president and his administration have employed since unrest flared in Southern California, Caine declined to affirm that either. “I think there’s definitely some frustrated folks out there,” he offered.
