THREAD: I know the danger of Project 2025, because I know one of its key architects, Christopher Miller. I interviewed him on iGen Politics after he left the Trump admin. I was 18 at the time & asked a simple question about his role on 1/6. He blew up & started yelling at ME.
The question was a simple one: In hindsight, would you have done anything differently as the acting director of the Defense Department. Totally fair question. But instead of answering it, he started swearing and threatened to leave the show. Watch:
Luckily, my amazing podcast partner @JillWineBanks stepped in and reigned him back in, but in our over 200+ episodes of the show, we never had someone act as inappropriately or disrespectfully as Chris Miller. I thought that interview would be the last I saw of him. Wrong.
@JillWineBanks When you go to the Project 2025 website and look at who wrote "Section 2: The Common Defense," see who it is: Christopher Miler. The same guy who failed to act swiftly on January 6th. The same guy who couldn't handle an 18-year-old asking a basic question project2025.org/policy/
@JillWineBanks So, scary as the content of Project 2025 is, we must also pay attention to *who* is writing these things. Not only did many serve in the Trump admin., but they are also people like Chris Miller who do not have the basic character to be a teacher, let alone the head of a Gov Dept.
And, if elected, the folks who wrote Project 2025 are the same people who Donald Trump would rely on for advice & counsel. These are the same people who could very well either serve in our government or be close enough to the administration to influence Trump.
That horrifies me. That should horrify you. Just take a second and think whether Chris Miller—an adult and former head of the Defense Dept who screamed at an eighteen-year-old—is the type of person you want in our government. I say no. That's why I'm voting Biden-harris. /END.
