Fox News host Laura Ingraham and Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) went after Gen. Mark Milley during a QuakeMedia show. While Ingraham has never served a day in uniform, Banks should know better as a U.S. Navy officer.
"I can't think of any general officer in American history that has done more to destroy the apolitical ethos of the military than General Milley," said Banks on the show.
Banks attacked Milley for attacking a commander-in-chief while President Donald Trump was in office. But, Banks, as a member of the Navy and member of Congress, has been more than eager to do the same, and he's doing so while Biden is the commander-in-chief. Milley at least waited until Trump was no longer in office to speak out.
Banks was blocked from being on the Jan. 6 select committee, in part because there is a concern that he was part of the event.
Listen to the comments from Banks and see the criticism below:

Mattis, Kelly, McMaster and Milley - each served in the United States military and each achieved the rank of General. And, each concluded that Trump was unfit to be President. Are they all wrong? Get serious.— CD3 (@CD3) 1627844357
"My Generals"\n\nTrump repeatedly referred to them as "My Generals."\n\nIf you're worried about politicization of the military, look no further.— Tom Cronin (@Tom Cronin) 1627843320
Banks did serve in the navy, but rest assured, he's an embarrassment to the entire fleet.— Tammy WitchyAF (@Tammy WitchyAF) 1627845870
Well i can think of at least 3 that used their popularity as Generals to run and get elected president. How about them?— Will Lewens (@Will Lewens) 1627847620
Let\u2019s all remember - his only \u201ccrime\u201d was to speak critically of a former one-termer president. In the Cult of Trump that is the highest crime one can do. Prior to that nobody had any issues with Milley.— C Jagg (@C Jagg) 1627843155
@RepJimBanks you had me at "I can't think".— Rise Above The Noise (@Rise Above The Noise) 1627844146
Laura\u2019s just gone all in on being anti American now— Terry Brozier \ud83d\udd31\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 (@Terry Brozier \ud83d\udd31\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8) 1627844008
\u201cI can\u2019t think\u2026\u201d being the operative phrase here.— Russ Buchanan (@Russ Buchanan) 1627843476
@RepJimBanks, were you one of the "R Congressmen" Trump refered to as part of the coup planning? Were you at the WH insurrection planning meeting on 1/5? What was your part in trying to overthrow our government and install Trump as dictator? Just asking questions.pic.twitter.com/MGKaEB8Z6p— Patrick Wayne (@Patrick Wayne) 1627845429
