Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley appeared before the Senate Armed Services Committee to defend himself for phone calls he made to his Chinese counterpart, as documented in a new book (“Peril”). While Republicans are asking about what he said, they are focused on the wrong questions. What’s more, they seem to have forgotten about a while back when another high profile politician made calls to a foreign adversary, and they simply excused those calls. The hypocrisy is blatantly obvious.
