    It's worth remembering that Joseph McCarthy's big strategic mistake, the thing that turned the tide against him, was going after the military. Not sure that it'll happen here but this does feel like an over-reach for the right.https://twitter.com/ranttmedia/status/1407753160760889351 …

        LOL no. This CRT thing is just getting started. Have you been asleep the past decade?

        Didn’t Tucker Carlson get in a public fight with the military like a month ago and nothing happened?

        Problem is that this won’t be covered on right wing media, or if it is, it will be cut up and repackaged as Gaetz “owning” Milley In 1954, only ABC broadcast the Army–McCarthy hearings - so everybody saw the same thing happen

        Nice how the camera appears to have interrupted one of matty gaetz's Venmo transactions.

        An eloquent statement, but an odd one too. Is knowing about CRT like reading Mao or Lenin or is it a positive key to understanding 'white rage,' as Gen Milley puts it? I can't tell from the clip. But yes, if the hard right's suicidal enough to go after the military, they're toast

        He went after the military because Cohn couldn't secure a DC assignment for his recently drafted paramour.
