Donald Trump’s campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung blasted General Mark Milley after it was reported that he described the former president as “fascist to the core.”
Milley’s remark was reported by The Independent and other media outlets after it was included in legendary journalist Bob Woodward’s new book, War.
“He is the most dangerous person ever. I had suspicions when I talked to you about his mental decline and so forth, but now I realize he’s a total fascist. He is now the most dangerous person to this country,” Milley, who was nominated by Trump to be chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in 2018, reportedly told Woodward.
Cheung told Newsweek via email on Saturday morning that Milley is a “woke train-wreck,” describing Woodward as a “washed-up fiction writer.”
“Woke train-wreck Mark Milley clearly suffers from Trump Derangement Syndrome and it’s no surprise he pals around with a washed-up fiction writer like Bob Woodward to peddle lies and misinformation,” the Trump aide said.
“If Milley spent this much time and effort doing his job, maybe the Afghanistan debacle would have never happened,” he added.
This is a developing story and will be updated with additional information.
