88 Retired Military Leaders Endorse Donald Trump

HeadlineSep 07, 2016

In news from the campaign trail, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton will both speak at a public forum on national security this evening. This comes as Donald Trump’s campaign has released a list of 88 retired military leaders who have endorsed Trump. The list includes Army Lt. Gen. William Boykin, the right-wing leader of the anti-LGBTQ group the Family Research Council. He served as undersecretary of defense for intelligence under the George W. Bush administration. He’s described the U.S. war on terror as a “spiritual battle” between a “Christian nation” and Satan—rhetoric that sparked widespread outrage and a rebuke from President George W. Bush.
