At least Kelly did not make the tired, disingenuous claim that the US military are in Niger "fighting for our freedoms" or "spreading freedom and democracy."

Considering how vague he was in re: the deployment in Niger, one might reasonably infer that the US military is helping to quash dissent of locals opposed to the resource extraction companies, e.g., teaching Niger military how to deter protesters and activists, aka US soldiers propping up dictator on behalf of the mining companies.

The countries change, but the USA's game remains the same.

While many like to paint Kelly as some sort of "adult" who is keeping us from Armageddon, can we stop to remember that not long after Trump took office he attended a Coast Guard graduation where he was presented with a ceremonial saber and Kelly was caught on a hot mic whispering, "Maybe you can use that on the press, sir."

This groveling toady is as phony and fake and fascist as Trump himself. Stop the Kelly worship.

This latest sorry incident shows he is quite happy in the sewer with Trump.
