A video has gone viral of a Navy SEAL unit driving a military vehicle flying a Trump flag in Louisville, Kentucky, last Sunday outraging many liberal outlets who would have the public believe the armed forces are largely opposed to the president's policies.
The video's authenticity has been confirmed by a Navy spokesperson, who told ABC News that the vehicle did indeed belong to a Navy SEAL unit based on the East Coast. The lead vehicle was part of a convey and was flying an iconic blue Trump flag, which included the president's campaign slogan of "Make America Great Again", from its rear antenna.
“The convoy were service members assigned to an East Coast-based Naval Special Warfare unit driving vehicles while transiting between two training locations,” Lieutenant Jacqui Maxwell told ABC News. He added that a command inquiry would be conducted about the flag, since “Defense Department and Navy regulations prescribe flags and pennants that may be displayed as well as the manner of display. The flag shown in the video was unauthorized.”The Navy SEALs were reportedly attending training at nearby Fort Knox, which is a common training ground for military units.
The video was taken by a driver on the highway and you see a convoy of several military vehicles as they make their way down the road. The driver speeds up to the lead vehicle and you clearly see the blue Trump flag flying in the wind from its rear antenna.
Originally the video circulated on Facebook, where it garnered nearly 80,000 views before they took it down and banned it. After all, liberal social media outlets can't let the truth come out that support for President Trump is much greater than the media portrays, and they must at all times protect their distorted narratives.
Hopefully someone has informed liberal comedian Sarah Silverman of this video, as she is under the impression that the military is on the brink of siding with the anti-Trump protesters to "join the resistance", as Silverman tweeted yesterday after the Berkeley riots.
Sarah Silverman seems to believe that the "military will be with us" to "overthrow" President Trump, when it seems more likely they would be willing to defend the president against the left's vicious attacks.
In reality, the military has consistently shown their support for Donald Trump even during the election, with a September poll of armed services voters showing him firmly in the lead over his challenger Hillary Clinton who came in at a mere 16.3%.
Perhaps some members of the armed services have observed the massive liberal media blitz against President Trump's efforts to secure America's borders, and have decided to display their support of his administration. Interestingly enough, this event happened after Trump's executive order putting a temporary ban on migrants from seven terrorism prone countries, in effect opposing the media's narrative of the nation being "outraged" at the president's decision.
In case you'd like to try and educate the liberals on social media calling for a military coup of the message this video represents, here is a useful meme to share.
The fanatics of the left are delusional if they think the military would ever stage any kind of coup.
Who would be stupid enough to believe the military is not backing Trump?
Maybe that’s why Sarah Silverman issued a greatly tempered tweet today! She got it that the military is already on TRUMP’s side and its her neck at risk of being chopped or choked!
You like apples Zuckerberg? how do you like dem apples?
I laugh EVERY time I see a screen shot of her tweet. Has that loon EVER met an active duty or retired military member? If not she's in for a rude awakening if she ever does. LOL.
That would be Sarah Silverman. LOL.
done
I first got banned by posting on our local, dying, leftist print newspaper website using Facebook. They must have complained to Facebook. I then registered several different names, etc... and before long, those get banned as well. I don't bother to change my computer mac address or URL, so its probably easy for the Gestapo at Facebook to learn its me.
I’m confused about all these “FB keeps cancelling my account!” claims. I don’t shy away from posting pro-right-wing stuff, and calling out the left-wing, and haven’t had any such problems ever. Unless you’re being REALLY aggressive about it, posting lots of objectionable material, and going out of your way to acquire lots of friends really fast, just to plainly piss people off, I don’t see FB cancelling an account. Only other rational is you _did_ legitimately earn a ban, and they’re trying to keep you off (pretty easy to data-mine your info to identify who you really are).
Yea, you get banned once and subsequent accounts will likely be discovered and banned too............
Have you taken note, that no one attempted to tear the flag down. I admit I would have paid big bucks to see what would have happened.
I don't know how it works either. Best I can figure out is if you have a FB account where you are politically active in your comments, liberals can drop by and ultimately complain to FB.............Just my guess.
American Junk Yard Dog!
TRUMP!
“...Who would be stupid enough to believe the military is not backing Trump?...”
Not only is the military backing him, but he has an invisible standing civilian militia that numbers in the millions should he ever see the need to call on em.
Libs cannot deal with reality because of the mental disease and insanity the is pervasive in their species.
Ya'll should have never joined FB like I never did.
They'll probably get a firm scolding by the base commander, then be given extra liberty and an invite to the officer's club for beers.
Y'all should never use the Internet, like I never do.
Constant retreat from the left is what got us to where we are today. It would be much better for conservatives to invade Facebook by the tens of millions, and run the libs away.
We're going to stand and face them on social media, or we're eventually going to face them in the streets.
Zuckerberg thanks you for your support.
See post 38.
You just don't get it.
We keep ceding ground to the libs, thinking we're washing our hands of them, but in fact, they're running us off from cities, states, businesses, academia, websites, you name it.
At some point you've got to quit running, and stand your ground.
