The Morning Joe crew criticized Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for revoking security measures for retired General Mark Milley, a vocal Trump critic. Milley's security detail was stripped and his military grade reevaluated—an extraordinary action against a high-ranking retired officer. Host Joe Scarborough warned of threats Milley faces from Iran and Trump supporters. The discussion underscored Milley's extensive military accolades and highlighted concerns over safety due to his criticisms of Trump, suggesting Hegseth’s actions reflect retaliation rather than policy reasons.
Hegseth's decision to revoke Milley's security detail is extraordinary, marking a potential threat to the safety of a high-ranking retired officer.
Joe Scarborough highlighted that Milley, being a target due to Trump's animosity, might be at risk from Iranian hit squads.
Milley’s combat experience and awards provide context for the unjust stripping of his security, which endangers his safety after criticism of Trump.
The Morning Joe crew condemned Hegseth, stressing that Milley should not lose security just because he opposed the former president.
