It's hard to believe now, but retired General Stanley McChrystal was at one time considered to be on the shortlist to be Donald Trump's running mate in 2016. McChrystal told CNN that he would decline any position if it were offered (it wasn't).
Now McChrystal is back in the news for endorsing Kamala Harris in 2024. He'll be on CBS News' "Face the Nation" Sunday to talk about it.
Retired Gen. @StanMcChrystal is supporting Vice President Harris in the presidential election, saying he’s already cast his ballot “for character.” On Sunday, he’ll discuss the reasons for his endorsement, plus the latest on U.S. policy in the Middle East. Tune in, 10:30 am ET. pic.twitter.com/79vM7zYZI5

Rack up another one for the "Kamala's Wins" account.
If I were running for president, I’d be embarrassed to be endorsed by any general who served over the past 20 years.

“Here’s an endorsement of a bunch of people that mired us in a two decade war against goat herders and lost” truly is an incredible thing that only the DC establishment thinks is meaningful. https://t.co/BoG3whwe8i

This is what they are fighting for: the credentialed.

It truly is amazing how tone deaf and DC centric the uniparty is. That they don’t understand Trump’s appeal is no surprise.

The man dismissed from duty because he had no character.

Ask him about Pat Tillman

Generals should be apolitical, especially those who fail to win wars.
— SilverPatriot (3rd iteration) (@ReduxPatriotToo) September 28, 2024
Another failed general who never won a war, while personally enriching himself.

Ask him why he was fired.

Reminds me of the embarrassing Vindman. Embarrassing like Milley too.

McChrystal???

AYFKMRN?
This is a direct advertisement against whoever he’s endorsing.
The irony in this post has to be dripping from your computers.

The man Obama fired. He deserved to be fired too.

General who was relieved of duty supports one of the architects of the Afghanistan disaster.

Perfect
Harris sure is racking up the endorsements. Wow, both McChrystal and the IRS union?
Would he have been invited on "Face the Nation" if he'd endorsed Trump?
