Garrison said in no uncertain terms in July 2019, prior to his appointment by Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin to lead the Pentagon’s countering extremism working group, that supporters of Trump support extremism and racism.
“Support for him, a racist, is support for ALL his beliefs,” Garrison, an Army veteran, tweeted in reference to Trump. “He’s dragging a lot of bad actors (misogynist, extremists, other racists) out into the light, normalizing their actions. If you support the President, you support that.”
