Supporters of President Donald Trump are not happy with Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff who apologized for taking part in President Donald Trump’s now-infamous photo op that required deploying pepper spray against peaceful protesters.
In his apology, Gen. Milley said that it was wrong for him to take part in a photo op that made it look as though the American military was taking a side in the domestic political dispute over the use of police brutality against black Americans.
“I should not have been there,” Milley acknowledged in a prerecorded video commencement address to National Defense University. “My presence in that moment and in that environment created a perception of the military involved in domestic politics.”
Many Trump supporters were furious that one of the country's top generals would apologize, and they took to Twitter to express their displeasure with a major military figure breaking with the president.
