When General Milley and Lloyd Austin decided to have a task force to root out the white supremacy, the right wing extremist groups in the military, and they came up with absolutely nothing. I wrote a letter immediately following an airman lighting himself on fire in front of the Israeli embassy, demanding that Lloyd Austin set up a left wing extremist task force. And if he had done that, these people would have been rooted out earlier. So the problem is it's politically correct to try to chase down Caucasian males serving in the military, and it is politically incorrect. (02:26–02:39)
