WASHINGTON — Former President Donald Trump and Republican Rep. Paul Gosar of Arizona suggested that outgoing Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley is a traitor who deserves to be executed.
Milley in September 2021 told Congress he had made it clear to Chinese officials that Trump was not planning to attack China in his final weeks as president.
"My task at that time was to de-escalate," Milley told the Senate Armed Services Committee.
"In a better society, quislings like the strange sodomy-promoting General Milley would be hung," Gosar wrote.
Gosar also called Milley, a four-star general with more than four decades of military service, a "traitor."
