“I think character is what a person does when they’re under pressure,” McChrystal said on CBS’ “Face the Nation” this weekend. “It is a combination of their deep seated beliefs, the things — their core values, and the discipline they have to execute those, to live up to them. So I think when we look at Kamala Harris, we look at her history, she came up as a prosecutor, an attorney general, into the Senate. She has lived a number of experiences that I think [built] someone the kind of character that’s going to be necessary in the presidency.”
“Why would a retired military officer come on to endorse his opponent? You tell me, because I think character is very important, and so I’m voting for character. I’m voting for Kamala Harris,” McChrystal said.
