“Trump at the time mentioned the 1960s race riots to justify the use of troops to restore order, per the Leonnig and Rucker book.

“Mr. President, it doesn’t compare anywhere to the summer of sixty-eight,” Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley said. “It’s not even close.””

No comparison? Really? Is that a fact?

Mark Milley was 10 in 1968 and Trump was 22. Pretty sure I know who had a better memory and understanding of it.

I was getting Emergency Alerts on my television because of the riots in Kenosha. Sounded pretty serious to me at the time. Like, public safety was threatened. Tony Evers did nothing. Maybe shooting might have been an appropriate response for some of them.
