MORGAN MURPHY: Trump Isn’t Letting Neocons Off The Hook

Speaking in Glendale, Arizona, on Thursday night, former President Donald Trump made the statement that Liz Cheney and other neocons should have to fight in the conflicts they start.

“She’s a radical warhawk. Let’s put her there with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, OK? Let’s see how she feels about it,” Trump said. “You know, when the guns are trained on her face. They’re all war hawks when they’re sitting in Washington in a nice building saying, ‘Oh, gee, well let’s send 10,000 troops right into the mouth of the enemy.’”

Vice President Kamala Harris immediately distorted the quote, desperate to “turn the page,” as she likes to say. (RELATED: GORDON CHANG: Biden’s Milquetoast China Approach Has Paved The Way For History’s Next Great Conflict)

But Trump is exactly right: it’s all too easy to send other people to war.

The irony of Donald Trump is that he is not just fighting against the radical left. He is in a vicious bar fight with the neoconservative right, too.

Who are neocons? Short answer: the D.C. desk jockeys who think democracy can be exported by American firepower. As Trump rightly points out, most never face the consequences of their policies. They leave that to our men and women in uniform. (RELATED: ‘Don’t Lie’: Bill Maher Rips Media For Claiming Trump Wanted........
