USA - General sparkes fordi en høyreekstremist ikke liker ham og mange andre - Stars & Stripes

 

Jeg hadde denne under "USA i dag" i går, men den er så skremmende at jeg tar den med igjen fra en annen kilde. Det er helt ufattelig at slikt går an. Demokratene er uten leder, den får de først høsten 2028. Dette går lukt åt..... (Red.)

WASHINGTON — The abrupt firing of the general in charge of U.S. Cyber Command and the National Security Agency drew sharp condemnation on Friday from lawmakers, mostly Democrats, who oversee defense and the intelligence community.

Air Force Gen. Timothy Haugh was removed from his job on Thursday, reportedly at the urging of Laura Loomer, a far-right activist who convinced President Donald Trump to fire several staff on his National Security Council this week.

Multiple news outlets said the firings were recommended by conservative media personality and advisor to President Trump, Laura Loomer, who has courted controversy and promoted conspiracy theories.

Loomer seemed to confirm the report in posts to social media on April 4, saying Haugh and Noble “have been disloyal to President Trump. That is why they have been fired.” She thanked Trump for “being receptive to the vetting materials provided to you,” and for “firing these Biden holdovers.”
