Crazy, to clarify the general immediately apologized for the retweet 6 years ago, saying that he meant to retweet the previous post. The one religion comment seem to actually happen indeed several months ago, at a religious rally and not when he was an advisor.
Not that I think that it is halachically permissible to use the first amendment to say untruths about any politicians, but we should be especially careful with people who served honorably, whatever their political views are.
