Because they have no other option?
Because if they admit that General Milley and all the Cabinet insiders were correct about Trump's mental instability, they have to admit that they were wrong about a number of positions.
They were wrong about the insurrection. They were wrong about their vote to not convict in a Senate impeachment trial.
They would have to admit that they knew he was crazy as a shithouse rat. They would have to admit that they put their political ambitions above the security of the country. They would have to admit that they lied to their base. They would have to admit that the election was fair and square and that Joe Biden is the legitimate President.
But they cannot do that.
That is why they have no choice but to attack General Milley. They cannot change the Big Lie horse in the middle of the stream.

(9,670 posts)Then none of this would have gained any traction.
Media complicity means we are battling against more than just the opposition. It's a wonder we're still in existence.

(111,076 posts)It was not done in "secret".
Mr. Ected
(9,670 posts)The retraction never carries the weight of the lie itself.
kentuck
(111,076 posts)Were they quoting from the book? Did the authors say that Milley made the call in "secret"? Or did the Post take it upon themselves to interpret it that way?

(111,076 posts)...and promoted the Big Lie, should be labeled a "traitor" in any race they choose to run.
That one word, "traitor", should define them.
