General H. R. McMaster Known For Speaking Truth To Power | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC

[SP-fjow]

Wow. Could be America's last hope. ❤️

[apurvanataraj]

0:20, one of the few handshakes that was a normal one.

[shumble]

Appointing a man who has moral courage? Trump has really ****ed up this time!

[mannyverse]

This guy sounds like trumps worst nightmare

[rajadat]

Let's hope trump doesn't corrupt this guy.

[BIGBADWOOD]

Someone who is known for speaking the truth. --- He will not be around long !

[michaelparker]

You just have to wonder how long that truth telling can last when surrounded by some of the world's biggest liars.

[rosilatrailera]

Maybe McMaster will protect us from dicktatorchild and protect our constitution!

[sclogse]

McMaster back in the news Sept. 2020. New book.

[blmetal]

Don't think McMaster would last long in Trump's Admin bec Trump's Ego will curb McMaster's way of doing things. He should have turned down the offer & get on with his life.

[ellaineanderson]

Wonderful. Maybe we have someone who will stand up to Donald if and when necessary.

[marsattacks]

Finally a good news from that administration ! I believe that the general McMaster is strong, very intelligent and that he will do the right things for USA. Look at him speaking in front of journalists and look at Trump, how he seems so "little" and insignificant on his left. We can see the McMaster is not impressed by him at all. It's a good sign !!

[jimmyman]

Following the path of Sally Yate? Speaking the truth about power guy and you're fired guy just incompatible

[ryanruggero]

Sounds a helluva lot better than Flynn, though he didn't exactly set the bar too high...

[the-dark-side.]

So what happens when Donald Trump doesn't want to step down and he's installed the generals in all levels of government?

[miklin]

The reason they keep him on active duty is simply to have his direct superior, the Commander in chief order him down if he dears truly to speak up, but than he will resign, so eather way he will have a difficult stand.

[danielswanson]

filling out his military industrial complex in preparation for trump's move to fascism.

[mrheimdall]

If Mcmasters want's to keep his job in the trump administration, he'd better learn to tell lies. Harward was smart by turning down the NSA position. He'd rather keep his honor, than go down with this shitstorm of a administration.

[CAT-rfhp]

I wouldn't be surprised to hear that he took the job to help keep Trump in check for as long as he will be allowed to.

Welcome to the Rocky Horror Show General Mc Master. Good luck.
