Brennan Praises 'Courageous' 'Active Insubordination' of Anonymous NYT Op-Ed
 [Townhall] On NBC’s Thursday morning broadcast of the "Today" show, former CIA director John Brennan repeatedly praised the unknown author of the New York Times’s recent anti-Trump op-ed as a supreme example of "courageous" American patriotism. While admitting that the anonymous writer was committing "active insubordination" with the piece, Brennan justified his or her actions by claiming that because Trump is too "unfit" to be President, the writer is admirably trying to "prevent disasters" in the future."I think there are two major takeaways," Brennan told "Today" co-host Savannah Guthrie in relation to the op-ed. "One is, what the author wrote is wholly consistent with all the reports that we have seen over the last year, the reports within Bob Woodward’s book, and other things about just how unfit, reckless, irresponsible Donald Trump is. But secondly, it shows the depth of concern within the administration, within the senior ranks of the administration, about what is happening and the extraordinary steps that individuals are willing to take, such as this op-ed, to prevent disasters." At this point, the former CIA director openly admitted that the op-ed author’s actions constituted "active insubordination." However, Brennan then immediately praised the "insubordination" as being "born out of loyalty to the country, not to Donald Trump." Posted by: Besoeker 2018-09-07 |
