Mark Levin: Pelosi Had 'Key Role' in Gen. Milley's Undercutting of Trump's Military Authority
[Western Journal] According to Fox News host Mark Levin, the Democrats are going to keep supporting Joint Chiefs of Staff head Gen. Mark Milley because they don’t want any backlash for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

In an appearance on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show Friday night, Levin said Pelosi played "a key role in" undermining civilian control of the military under former President Donald Trump via a call she made to Milley in the days after the Capitol incursion.

While the details of the call were disclosed for the first time in excerpts from Bob Woodward and Robert Costa’s forthcoming book "Peril," Pelosi had announced the conversation shortly after it happened on Jan. 8, saying in a letter to House Democrats she’d discussed "precautions for preventing an unstable president from initiating military hostilities or accessing the launch codes and ordering a nuclear strike."

CNN reported Woodward and Costa obtained a transcript of the call.

"What I’m saying to you is that if they couldn’t even stop him from an assault on the Capitol, who even knows what else he may do?" Pelosi, who is second in line for the presidency behind Vice President Kamala Harris, said during the call, according to the book. "And is there anybody in charge at the White House who was doing anything but kissing his fat butt all over this?

#1 Sorry, Mark. We sorta had that figured out already. All the people who think Levin is the shizzle, tell me why things are still going the way they are with all his insight available.

Because Republicans are the draped crape paper ribbons on the Democratic agenda podium.
