Woke Liberal Attacks Women For Using Their ‘White Privilege’ To Clean Black Lives Matter Graffiti Off Federal Building

A disturbing video is going viral today , showing a “ woke ” leftist accosting three women for trying to scrub Black Lives Matter graffiti off of a federal building .
In the video , the graffiti clearly shows the letters “ BLM , ” and in the eyes of the lefty filming , cleaning the markings off the building is an unforgivably racist offense .
“ Why are you guys removing Black Lives Matter graffiti ?
” the woman filming begins .
The young women respond by saying that they are cleaning a federal building that has been vandalized @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this is a federal building , as the address is 811 Vermont Ave. NW , and it houses the Department of Veterans Affairs , according to The Blaze .
None of this mattered to this crazy liberal , however , as she took it upon herself to try and publicly shame the women .
“ So , you don ’ t care about black lives then ?
” the snowflake asked , with the women responding by calmly explaining “ That ’ s not at all what we ’ re saying ” and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” “ Not enough to leave up a message , ” the offended liberal fired back .
“ We don ’ t disagree with the message , ma ’ am , it ’ s just on the building , ” one of the women replied .
“ We ’ re just trying to clean it.
” Still not satisfied , the liberal “ Karen ” told them , “ Right .
Not a great way to use your white privilege , ladies .
That ’ s disgusting.
” Social media users have been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ women who were trying to clean the building .
As racial riots continue to spread like wildfire throughout the country , liberals like the “ Karen ” filming this are becoming increasingly angry with Americans who refuse to bow to their radical demands .

The young women respond by saying that they are cleaning a federal building that has been vandalized. They are correct in saying that this is a federal building, as the address is 811 Vermont Ave. NW, and it houses the Department of Veterans Affairs, according to The Blaze.
None of this mattered to this crazy liberal, however, as she took it upon herself to try and publicly shame the women. “So, you don’t care about black lives then?” the snowflake asked, with the women responding by calmly explaining “That’s not at all what we’re saying” and “we do care about black lives.”

thepoliticalinsider--2020-06-04--Fox News’ Laura Ingraham Torches Far-Left Rioters: George Floyd’s Death Is Their ‘Excuse’

Fox News host Laura Ingraham let loose on the far-left rioters and looters who she says have used the death of George Floyd to wreak havoc on America .
During her monologue last night on the “ Ingraham Angle , ” she said that those who are looting and committing acts of violence right now are using Floyd ’ s death for their own gain .
“ This is all political in the end for the Democrats—all of it .
They want to stop President Trump and his supporters from having rallies or even a convention .
Meanwhile , they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tightly into the streets and parks to support their own efforts to defeat him .
Isn ’ t that a neat trick , ” she said .
“ What about these protests—peaceful protests ?
It is the hallmark of any free society .
We applaud peaceful protests.
” “ His tragedy is their excuse .
The folks you see yelling at cops on TV— [ they are ] a lot of the wealthy suburban kids .
I guess they are tired of sitting home playing video games or buying stuff on Amazon Prime @ @ @ @ @ @ @ privilege while checking their Apple watches , ” Ingraham added .
“ As we explained for months the left-wingers tried to force us to stay home .
But the Left , their protest had become essentially right now part of a religion that is essential that must be protected .
But it ’ s also become part social club .
And the same geniuses who love to mock Baptists are out in the street with their own rituals.
” “ Let ’ s be clear , everyone is infuriated .
Anyone with a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ George Floyd—everyone wants justice to be done , ” the longtime host made sure to note .
“ But those creepy rallies have nothing to do with George Floyd .
At least for most of the people on the Left.
” Ingraham went on to point out that before the riots and looting , Democratic lawmakers had been blasting their constituents for even wanting to hold weddings and funerals .
“ The Left ’ s rules , have you noticed this ?
They never seem to apply to them .
We have seen @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his mask or Governor Whitmer ’ s husband traveling to the family cabin up north or Governor Pritzker ’ s family escaping from Illinois to that awful dangerous state of Florida , ” she said .
“ If you still wanted to give these governors and mayors the benefit of the doubt on these COVID lockdowns , now you can disabuse yourself of that notion for good.
” Ingraham then specifically called out New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio , who said back in April that gatherings of “ large numbers will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ members of the community.
” “ If you saw anger and frustration , you are right .
I spoke out of real distress that people ’ s lives were in danger before my eyes .
And I will not tolerate it , ” de Blasio said after a group of Hasidic Jewish mourners broke his order to gather in Brooklyn for a funeral .
“ People ’ s lives were in danger at the funeral , okay .
But when throngs of looters roam the street to smash and grab and push aside @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , suddenly there is zero concern for public health , COVID , and the police —by de Blasio— are told to use a light touch , ” Ingraham said , noting that the violence and looting have grown out of control in New York City .
She ended her monologue by pointing out the hypocrisy of the media , who condone the riots yet are outraged that Trump still wants to gather Republicans in North Carolina for their convention .
“ Have any of you seen the crowds in Raleigh and Charlotte , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ open your doors to customers , they will stop you or send state inspectors and they will have measuring tapes and make sure your salad bar is in order , but if you want to ransack a restaurant , they will give you the green light , ” Ingraham said .
“ If you want to go to church , they will send cops out to harass you .
But if you want to burn down the church , they will basically look the other way or excuse it.
” Once again , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ head !
The hypocrisy and ignorance of the Left astounds .

thepoliticalinsider--2020-06-04--Allen West: Big Tech Censors Lockdown Protestors But Amplifies Antifa And BLM Rioters

Former Representative Allen West said that Big Tech companies are censoring lockdown protestors but helping antifa and BLM rioters organise on their platforms .
Speaking on Breitbart News ’ s SiriusXM radio show , Allen West said that what infuriarted him “ more than anything else , ” is that Big Tech platforms “ are being used by groups like Antifa and Black Lives Matter to organise , to get out their orders and instructions , ” during the riots the country faces right now , but “ when we had everyday Americans that wanted to have rallies about the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lockdowns and shutdowns — I call it illegal martial law and house arrest — Facebook and Twitter threatened to censor them.
” West added that “ Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey need to stop making decisions based upon their ideological agendas.
” West argued that antifa is simply a “ domestic terrorist group , ” an assessment the President agreed with , given he announced last week that the government would designate them as such .
“ We need to find the leadership .
We need to find the resourcing , ” he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Matter is no better.
” He pointed out that “ Black Lives Matter does not show up in Chicago or any of the other major urban population centers across the country run by Democrats , where you see black-on-black crime .
They say nothing about the atrocious fact that 20 million black babies have been murdered in the womb thanks to Planned Parenthood , which was founded by a white supremacist and a racist.
” The former representative said that he sees people “ cherry-picking and using the theme of racism and being @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and we have got to have strong voices to stand up and push back against this , ” as “ if we can not maintain law and order in our streets , then we ’ re going to see the undermining of our constitutional republic.

Having been personally subject to , and been witness to , antifa violence , I ’ m so glad the President has cracked down upon them .

thepoliticalinsider--2020-06-04--Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson Launches Attack On Trump For Lack Of Leadership: ‘Where Are You?’

Dwayne “ The Rock ” Johnson is a former WWE wrestler-turned-A-list Hollywood star who has fans on all sides of the political spectrum .
That ’ s why it ’ s come as a major disappointment to his conservative fans this week that The Rock is using his platform to attack President Donald Trump for what he claims to be a lack of leadership amidst mass protests and riots .
In an 8-and-a-half minute video posted to his Instagram on Wednesday , The Rock became visibly emotional as he called on Trump , who he did not mention by name @ @ @ @ @ @ @ compassion : “ Where are you ?
Where is our leader at this time ?
At this time when our country is down on its knees begging , pleading , hurt , angry , frustrated , in pain , begging and pleading with its arms out just wanting to be heard .
Where are you ?
Where is our compassionate leader who is going to step up to our country who is down on its knees and extend a hand and say ‘ You stand up .
Stand up with me .
Stand @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ve got you .
I ’ ve got you .
I ’ ve got you , I hear you , I ’ m listening to you and you have my word that I ’ m going to do everything in my power , till my dying day , to my last breath to do everything I can to create the change that ’ s needed , to normalize equality because black lives matter.
’ ” The Rock went on to demand that people stop saying “ all lives matter ” and instead focus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lives matter.
” “ Of course all lives matter , every single one .
All lives matter because we , as Americans , believe in inclusivity , we believe in acceptance , we believe in human rights , we believe in equality for all , ” The Rock explained .
“ That ’ s what we believe in , so of course all lives matter , but in this moment right now , this defining pivotal , explosive moment where our country is down on its knees , the floorboards of our country @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we must say the words ‘ black lives matter.
’ ” He also slammed the use of military force on protesters .
“ There is military force that has been deployed on our own people .
Looters ?
Yes .
Criminals ?
Absolutely .
But our protesters who are begging and pleading , our protesters who are in pain… You know you would be surprised how people in pain would respond when you say to them ‘ I care about you.
’ When you say to them ‘ I ’ m listening to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ how people would respond — how Americans would respond , ” The Rock said .
The Rock ended his lengthy rant by urging the president to step up one more time : “ So , as we continue to wait for that leader to emerge… I would recommend to all of you that we must become the leaders we ’ re looking for .
We can become our own leaders , because we ’ re doing it now .
We ’ re doing it now .
We must become the leaders that we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ll ask it one more time… Where are you ?
Where is that compassionate leader who steps up and takes accountability for his country and all of the people in our country ?
Where are you ?
Because , I tell you what , we ’ re here , we are all here .
We ’ re all here .
And the process to change has already begun .
You can feel it across our country , change is happening .
It ’ s going to take time .
We ’ re going @ @ @ @ @ @ @ re going to take our lumps , there ’ s going to be blood but the process of change has already begun .
You guys stay strong .
We ’ ve got this.
” While there are some aspects of this rant that we can all agree with , it ’ s unfortunate that The Rock would choose to get political and alienate the many conservative fans he has that continue to support President Trump .
We expected better of The Rock , but in the end , he ’ s shown that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ liberal sheep .

At this time when our country is down on its knees begging, pleading, hurt, angry, frustrated, in pain, begging and pleading with its arms out just wanting to be heard. Where are you? Where is our compassionate leader who is going to step up to our country who is down on its knees and extend a hand and say ‘You stand up. Stand up with me. Stand up with me, because I’ve got you. I’ve got you. I’ve got you, I hear you, I’m listening to you and you have my word that I’m going to do everything in my power, till my dying day, to my last breath to do everything I can to create the change that’s needed, to normalize equality because black lives matter.’”
The Rock went on to demand that people stop saying “all lives matter” and instead focus on understanding the rallying cry “black lives matter.”
“Of course all lives matter, every single one. All lives matter because we, as Americans, believe in inclusivity, we believe in acceptance, we believe in human rights, we believe in equality for all,” The Rock explained. “That’s what we believe in, so of course all lives matter, but in this moment right now, this defining pivotal, explosive moment where our country is down on its knees, the floorboards of our country are becoming unhinged in this moment, we must say the words ‘black lives matter.’”
He also slammed the use of military force on protesters. “There is military force that has been deployed on our own people. Looters? Yes. Criminals? Absolutely. But our protesters who are begging and pleading, our protesters who are in pain… You know you would be surprised how people in pain would respond when you say to them ‘I care about you.’ When you say to them ‘I’m listening to you.’ You’d be surprised how people would respond — how Americans would respond,” The Rock said.
The Rock ended his lengthy rant by urging the president to step up one more time:
“So, as we continue to wait for that leader to emerge… I would recommend to all of you that we must become the leaders we’re looking for. We can become our own leaders, because we’re doing it now. We’re doing it now. We must become the leaders that we’re looking for. I’ll ask it one more time… Where are you? Where is that compassionate leader who steps up and takes accountability for his country and all of the people in our country? Where are you? Because, I tell you what, we’re here, we are all here. We’re all here. And the process to change has already begun. You can feel it across our country, change is happening. It’s going to take time. We’re going to get beat up, we’re going to take our lumps, there’s going to be blood but the process of change has already begun. You guys stay strong. We’ve got this.”
While there are some aspects of this rant that we can all agree with, it’s unfortunate that The Rock would choose to get political and alienate the many conservative fans he has that continue to support President Trump. We expected better of The Rock, but in the end, he’s shown that he’s just another ignorant Hollywood liberal sheep.

Tucker: While Most Americans Are Depressed About Country Descending Into Chaos, Our Leaders Feel Nothing

Fox News host Tucker Carlson eloquently captured the mood of our nation as cities continue to descend into chaos while our elected officials do little to help the situation .

Lack of Leadership
Why, when the nation needs leadership the most, are we sorely lacking in this area? Perhaps it is the left’s inability to understand two topics simultaneously.
You can be saddened and want to see change over Floyd’s death, and rightfully so.
But you can also call out the criminals and anarchists that are destroying innocent lives in his name. Both things are wrong. Both things hurt people.
Instead, Carlson explains, leaders “are not grieving, they seem exhilarated” over the riots.
“How many innocent Americans have these people hurt?” he asked. “How many have they murdered? We don’t know that number but it’s the country itself that so many worry about at this point.”
Our leaders meanwhile, “feel nothing as our nation descends into anarchy,” he added.
“They see the chaos instead as an opportunity to solidify their control, to increase their market share, to win our elections.”
That is the left in a nutshell. But Carlson hasn’t been directing his ire solely at the left.

Radio host Charlamagne tha God slammed former Vice President Joe Biden over what he calls a racist Senate record .
Charlamagne tha God Throws Down the Gauntlet Regarding Joe Biden and Race Relations Charlamagne told CNN on Tuesday that he wanted Biden to “ really lean into blackness now ” if he wants his endorsement in 2020 .
RELATED : Joe Biden Appears to Blame Police for Riots : They ‘ Escalate Tension ’ “ He did very well today in Philadelphia , you know , he said a lot of things that I wanted to hear , and I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ politicians say what they need to in order to get elected , but I really enjoyed it , ” Charlamagne said .
“ But I need some action , like I need him to really lean into blackness now.
” Charlamagne explained why he believes Joe Biden needs to be the Lyndon B. Johnson to Barack Obama ’ s JFK , particularly because of the former vice president ’ s poor Senate record on race relations .
“ To me it ’ s like this : If Barack Obama was JFK , then @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Johnson , ” the radio host said .
“ You know , he has the opportunity to be as progressive as Lyndon B. Johnson .
Lyndon B. Johnson may have been labeled a racist but his record doesn ’ t reflect that .
LBJ ’ s record showed that he had , like , the most effective progressive record on race and class of any Democratic president of the past 80 years.
” ‘ Biden ’ s record in the Senate actually reflects very racist legislation ’ “ I think , you know @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Senate actually reflects very racist legislation , but he has a chance to correct that by doing right by black people , ” he said .
Last month , during an appearance on the “ The Breakfast Club , ” Biden created controversy when host Charlamagne Tha God asked the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee to come back on his show to answer “ more questions ” about black issues .
“ You ’ ve got more questions ?
” Biden responded .
“ Well I tell you what , if you have a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for me or Trump , then you ain ’ t black.

“ People like to bring up coronavirus and how it ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s because we have a bunch of underlying conditions created by systemic racism that have never been fixed.

Radio host Charlamagne tha God slammed former Vice President Joe Biden over what he calls a racist Senate record.
Charlamagne tha God Throws Down the Gauntlet Regarding Joe Biden and Race Relations
Charlamagne told CNN on Tuesday that he wanted Biden to “really lean into blackness now” if he wants his endorsement in 2020.

“He did very well today in Philadelphia, you know, he said a lot of things that I wanted to hear, and I know it’s dream-selling season and politicians say what they need to in order to get elected, but I really enjoyed it,” Charlamagne said. “But I need some action, like I need him to really lean into blackness now.”
Charlamagne explained why he believes Joe Biden needs to be the Lyndon B. Johnson to Barack Obama’s JFK, particularly because of the former vice president’s poor Senate record on race relations.
“To me it’s like this: If Barack Obama was JFK, then Joe Biden needs to be Lyndon B. Johnson,” the radio host said. “You know, he has the opportunity to be as progressive as Lyndon B. Johnson. Lyndon B. Johnson may have been labeled a racist but his record doesn’t reflect that. LBJ’s record showed that he had, like, the most effective progressive record on race and class of any Democratic president of the past 80 years.”
I don’t always agree with everything @cthagod says, but he’s RIGHT about 1 thing:@JoeBiden has been a DISASTER for criminal justice reform! ✅Wrote infamous 1994 crime bill
✅Supported “3-strike” laws
✅Backed mandatory minimums for minor drug offenseshttps://t.co/oXfi0Vf1km — Cliff Maloney (@LibertyCliff) June 3, 2020
‘Biden’s record in the Senate actually reflects very racist legislation’
“I think, you know, Biden’s record in the Senate actually reflects very racist legislation, but he has a chance to correct that by doing right by black people,” he said.
Last month, during an appearance on the “The Breakfast Club,” Biden created controversy when host Charlamagne Tha God asked the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee to come back on his show to answer “more questions” about black issues.
“You’ve got more questions?” Biden responded. “Well I tell you what, if you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.”
Charlamagne tha God fires back at Joe Biden for claiming he "baited" him: "Vice President Biden volunteered that fish. I didn’t throw no bait out there for that fish whatsoever." https://t.co/0QUPhUKKtU — The Daily Beast (@thedailybeast) June 4, 2020
RELATED: Joe Biden Says ‘You Ain’t Black’ If You Vote For Trump Over Him
Charlamagne then blasted Biden for being on the “front line” of promoting mass incarceration with his support of the 1994 crime bill.
“I see black communities all across America catching hell regardless of who is in the White House,” Charlamagne Tha God said. “People like to bring up coronavirus and how it’s hitting black people the hardest. That’s because we have a bunch of underlying conditions created by systemic racism that have never been fixed.”
“And like I said before, if you created legislation that hurts, then you have to create legislation that helps,” he continued. “It’s just that simple. Like, the whole system needs to be dismantled and rebuilt, and he’s been a very intricate part of that system, whether you’re talking about, you know, in ‘84 with the mandatory minimum sentences for drug dealers, or you’re talking about ‘86 with the crack laws that gave you more time for crack cocaine than powder cocaine, or you’re talking about the ’94 crime bill, like, he was really one of the people on the front line when it came to the war on drugs and mass incarceration.”

thepoliticalinsider--2020-06-04--Mattis Sells Out – Trashes Trump And Sides With Rioters

In an article in The Atlantic on Wednesday former Trump Defense Secretary James Mattis , a man formerly revered by conservatives and the military , penned a low personal blow against the president .
One can only guess at why Mattis has joined the DC liberal elite he has spent a lifetime opposing in word and deed .
Perhaps he misses the spotlight .
Maybe he was bought out .
Likely he has a gripe with the president ’ s tone and style —it is decidedly non-Mattis— and let his issue with the presidential demeanor run away with his emotions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ read the piece as he defends and rationalizes the rioters , likely did not write the piece himself .
A general of Marines does not write like a prog Capitol Hill wonk .
A convenient Democrat hand probably used Mattis as a willing sock puppet to get out far-left Democrat talking points .
Mattis ’ diatribe was a petty emotional tirade more suited to a hysterical junior high schooler than a USMC four-star general .
Such is the face James Mattis now wants to display to the American people .
So be it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ I have watched this week ’ s unfolding events , angry and appalled .
The words ‘ Equal Justice Under Law ’ are carved in the pediment of the United States Supreme Court .
This is precisely what protesters are rightly demanding .
It is a wholesome and unifying demand—one that all of us should be able to get behind .
We must not be distracted by a small number of lawbreakers .
The protests are defined by tens of thousands of people of conscience who are insisting that we live @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and our values as a nation .
We must reject and hold accountable those in office who would make a mockery of our Constitution [ emphasis added ] .
” First notice the blatant lies about the rioters and hardly a word about the death , looting , and arson they have left in their wake .
Then he minimizes the damage and quickly moves on .
A sad and pathetic dodge at best .
The president quickly responded , calling Mattis the “ world ’ s most overrated general ” and said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ but rather personal public relations.
” Trump added : “ Probably the only thing Barack Obama & I have in common is that we both had the honor of firing Jim Mattis , the world ’ s most overrated General .
I asked for his letter of resignation , & felt great about it .
His nickname was ‘ Chaos ’ , which I didn ’ t like , & changed to ‘ Mad Dog.
” The White House press secretary , the stunning and ultra-sharp Kayleigh McEnany , also had something @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mattis wasn ’ t finished : “ Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people—does not even pretend to try .
Instead , he tries to divide us .
We are witnessing the consequences of three years of this deliberate effort .
We are witnessing the consequences of three years without mature leadership .
We can unite without him , drawing on the strengths inherent in our civil society .
This will not be easy , as the past few days have shown @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fellow citizens ; to past generations that bled to defend our promise ; and to our children.
” The glaring stupidity and delusion of that statement would be amazing coming from the brave and competent man Mattis once was , but seems not to be anymore .
Mattis ended with , “ When I joined the military , some 50 years ago , I swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution .
Never did I dream that troops taking that same oath would be ordered under any circumstance to violate the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to provide a bizarre photo op for the elected commander-in-chief , with military leadership standing alongside.
” Violate the rights of their fellow citizens ?
Just how and when were they ordered to do that ?
And again notice the dodge , “ ordered to , ” not did .
A fine nuance that Mattis ( or whoever wrote this ) wants you to miss .
They want you to hurry over it because no such thing happened .
It is an obvious lie .
But the entire piece is a fabrication .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ shoulders to blind us to the fact he has become a mere tool for the forces who terrorize our streets and actually violate our Constitution on a regular basis .
However , sadly , in the light of day those stars have lost their shine .
It is unlikely they will ever regain their former luster .

Mattis’ diatribe was a petty emotional tirade more suited to a hysterical junior high schooler than a USMC four-star general. Such is the face James Mattis now wants to display to the American people. So be it. Here are some of his words.
“I have watched this week’s unfolding events, angry and appalled. The words ‘Equal Justice Under Law’ are carved in the pediment of the United States Supreme Court. This is precisely what protesters are rightly demanding. It is a wholesome and unifying demand—one that all of us should be able to get behind.

The president quickly responded, calling Mattis the “world’s most overrated general” and said his expertise was now not in warfare “but rather personal public relations.”
Trump added: “Probably the only thing Barack Obama & I have in common is that we both had the honor of firing Jim Mattis, the world’s most overrated General. I asked for his letter of resignation, & felt great about it. His nickname was ‘Chaos’, which I didn’t like, & changed to ‘Mad Dog.”
…His primary strength was not military, but rather personal public relations. I gave him a new life, things to do, and battles to win, but he seldom “brought home the bacon”. I didn’t like his “leadership” style or much else about him, and many others agree. Glad he is gone! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 4, 2020
The White House press secretary, the stunning and ultra-sharp Kayleigh McEnany, also had something to say in the following tweet:
Former Secretary Mattis’ “article” is little more than a self-promotional stunt to appease the DC elite. President @realDonaldTrump is the law and order President that has restored peace to our nation’s streets. Mattis’ small words pale in comparison to @POTUS’ strong action. — Kayleigh McEnany (@PressSec) June 4, 2020
Mattis wasn’t finished: “Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people—does not even pretend to try. Instead, he tries to divide us. We are witnessing the consequences of three years of this deliberate effort. We are witnessing the consequences of three years without mature leadership. We can unite without him, drawing on the strengths inherent in our civil society. This will not be easy, as the past few days have shown, but we owe it to our fellow citizens; to past generations that bled to defend our promise; and to our children.”
The glaring stupidity and delusion of that statement would be amazing coming from the brave and competent man Mattis once was, but seems not to be anymore.
Mattis ended with, “When I joined the military, some 50 years ago, I swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution.
