During the final minutes of his show, The 11th Hour, MSNBC host Brian Williams tore into Florida Republican Representative Matt Gaetz for his criticism of Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General Mark Milley.

Williams said:


"Republicans, as you know, have decided we're in a crisis of some sort where our military is both soft and woke, and our kids are being taught dangerous things like White rage and critical race theory."
"When asked about the curriculum at West Point, Milley made clear he wasn't having it."

General Milley was indeed quite clear about his position on the issue.

"First of all, on the issue of critical race theory, a lot of us have to get smarter on whatever the theory is, but I do think it's important, actually, for those of us in uniform to be open minded and be widely read."
"And the United States military academy is a university, and it is important that we train and we understand."
"I want to understand White rage—and I'm White."
"So what is it that caused thousands of people to assault this building and try to overturn the Constitution of the United States of America?
"What caused that? "
"I want to find that out."
"I want to maintain an open mind here and I do want to analyze it."
"It's important that we understand that."

Gaetz later tweeted a response mocking the combat veteran.

In response to Gaetz's tweet, Williams said on 11th Hour:

"Easy enough to lob a comment like that from the cheap seats."
"To be fair, Gaetz—the same Matt Gaetz who faces potential sex trafficking charges, which he denies—did also tweet today to free Britney Spears, which kind of makes him a freedom fighter."

Twitter users were not impressed with Gaetz's rhetoric, but they loved Williams' reply.


Williams was far from the only one dunking on Gaetz, though.

Retired General Mark Hertling also fired a salvo at the Florida Republican.

General Hertling tweeted:

"Hey, [Matt Gaetz], see those stripes on Gen. Milley's right sleeve?"
"Each one represents 6 months in combat."
"[Defense Secretary Lloyd] Austin has more, but they aren't on his suit."
"You really want to do this?"










Plenty of people have been dunking on Gaetz's rhetoric and hot takes.

Maybe Matt should stop while he's behind?

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
