Reporter Says Four-Star General Is A Coward for ‘Remaining Silent’ About Trump Impeachment

Former Secretary of Defense James Mattis served his country in three wars.

He may not have agreed with President Trump on a few things toward the end of his tenure, but that doesn’t change a whole lot about the man’s character.

A CNN host felt is was appropriate to label the four-star General a coward for not speaking out on the impeachment inquiry into POTUS.

Because that’s legit, right?

What possible rationale does Mattis have now for remaining silent?

Reactions:

I’ve seen some foolish responses from the media on Twitter, but yours hands down tops them all.
To suggest a 3 war Marine Corps General is a coward is sheer idiocy.
Congrats @soledadobrien!

Yes, Soledad. General James Mattis is a “coward.” He got these awards and military decorations out of a gum ball machine.

You are called Mattis a coward? Maybe read up on his bio.

Perhaps unlike you he doesn’t make things up when he has nothing to say

From Baptist Standard:

Mattis, former U.S. Secretary of Defense, spoke at Dallas Baptist University about his new book, the need for leadership and the importance of civility in today’s culture.

“We need more friendliness in this country,” Mattis said.

Working in conjunction with the DMA Arts and Letters Live Series and the World Affairs Council of Dallas/Fort Worth, DBU’s Institute for Global Engagement presented “An Evening with General Mattis.”
