The top U.S. military official, General Mark Milley, apologized for taking part in Pervert’s walk to a church photo op. “I should not have been there.”
Following the forceful dispersal of peaceful protesters outside the White House last week, calling the move a "mistake" and saying his presence "created a perception of the military involved in domestic politics."

He was photographed wearing his combat uniform and moving with the pervert's entourage through Lafayette Square.
The images provoked a swift wave of criticism from lawmakers and several senior former military officials who said they risked dragging the traditionally apolitical military into a contentious domestic political situation.
Milley also said that he was "outraged" by the killing of George Floyd and added that the protests it sparked spoke to "centuries of injustice toward African Americans."
The comments mark an extraordinary moment of America's top general apologizing for an appearance with his commander in chief, and doing so while speaking to a group of future military officers and leaders.
