CNN’s Starr Calls Out Acting Defense Secretary for Refusing to Take Questions About Troop Drawdown

‘That is how America’s longest war just ended’

RUSH EXCERPT:

STARR: “You know, Chris mill hear been acting secretary of defenseless than a week. By all accounts, a very distinguished career in special operations. I don’t think anybody questions his military service, but that is over for him, and has been for some years. Right now he is a political appointee of President Trump and carrying out the president’s political agenda. Has to be viewed through that scope. What struck me the most and several other reporters in the room at the time, and I think you saw. Chris Miller refused to take any questions about this decision. He turned — came out, delivered and read a prepared statement and then turned heel and walked away. There you have it. That is how America’s longest war just ended. At least for the moment. It ended with somebody coming out, reading the statement, and leaving the room. You know, you better than anybody else knows, Brianna, you know, thousands and thousands of troops have lost their lives in these war Zones, been injured. Families and personnel, their lives changed forever.”
