Stanley McChrystal says he is backing Harris because 'character is very important'

Ret. Gen. Stanley McChrystal has backed Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential race, telling "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan" that "character is very important, and so I'm voting for character. I'm voting for Kamala Harris."

"Face the Nation" is America's premier Sunday morning public affairs program. The broadcast is one of the longest-running news programs in the history of television, having debuted Nov. 7, 1954, on CBS. Every Sunday, "Face the Nation" moderator and CBS News senior foreign affairs correspondent Margaret Brennan welcomes leaders, newsmakers, and experts to a lively round table discussion of current events and the latest news.

I keep watching these host using talking points from the maga extremist even after he has answered the question. Which in my view lowers the quality of the conversation. The days of host actually asking quality questions...for them to think for themselves ...I think is over. And I find it to be lazy.

I know news/TV has to have content, but to ask what the "character" difference between VP Harris and Trump is like asking someone to choose between an intelligent, experienced, forthright ADULT vs an unintelligible 80 year old who's never grown past the Terrible 2's.

This is a smart reasoning man. I agree, character is the whole ball of wax.

Bravo, Gen. McChrystal (Ret.) I hope your endorsement of Vice President Harris resonates with voters who are open to NOT voting for Trump.

Extremely diplomatic General McChrystal! 👍👍

GEN McChrystal was a GREAT commander. Had he remained as Commander, United States Forces – Afghanistan the Taliban would never have come to power. It was an absolute honor to have served with him. Character is MORE than very important... it is EVERYTHING.

Thank you, sir. I cant even say enough how much I appreciate you, your service and the fact youre speaking out, which I know isn't really typical, but you obviously know how dangerous of a man Trump is, so norms dont really matter at this point. A heartfelt thank you for standing up and speaking out. God bless you.

General McChrystal sounds like a patriot. We have to put country and constitution before party. And most definitely we have to put country and constitution before a cheap wannabe tyrant.
