Fox and Friends co-host Brian came up with a weak sauce defense of Trump's love of Nazi generals by claiming it was US generals who were the deep state against him during his time in office.
The Fox and Friends co-host used a book by Lt. Gen. McMaster's, which was highly critical of Trump and who lasted about a year in the White House as his NSA.
Listen to this dribble.
KILMEADE: McMaster's book, who is critical of President Trump in some of it and not in others, he talks about how Mattis and Kelly didn't like the president, and they didn't think he deserved the job, or they didn't think he was worthy of the job, and they went out of his way to make sure a lot of the things they asked him to do that they didn't like never got done. McMaster would be frustrated, because he couldn't get their attention, and he would say, it's not your job to rein in the president. It's your job to do what the president wants.
Kilmeade's words are at odds with what McMaster said in his book. The former NSA wrote that Trump's White House was full of sycophants and described "meetings in the Oval Office as “exercises in competitive sycophancy” during which Trump’s advisers would flatter the president by saying stuff like, “Your instincts are always right” or, “No one has ever been treated so badly by the press.”
