Duckworth vows to block over 1,000 military confirmations until Pentagon proves Vindman will be promoted

Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., on Thursday announced her intention to block Senate confirmations for 1,123 senior U.S. Armed Forces promotions until Defense Secretary Mark Esper confirms he will not block the "expected and deserved" promotion of Army Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman.

Vindman, an Iraq War veteran, served on the White House National Security Council and was thrust into the limelight last year when he testified about President Trump's July 2019 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that became the heart of a Democratic-led impeachment inquiry.

Vindman said he listened to the call and filed a whistleblower complaint over concerns that Trump allegedly tried to pressure Zelensky to investigate Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, who served on the board of one of Ukraine's largest natural gas companies.

Yeh...I remember the sh** that he pulled. The farce was that he wore suits in his position.....NEVER a uniform. Some soldiers were really p***** that he wore his uniform. The occasion didn’t call for it. Scum...

Easy promote him. Let the confirmations go through. Then demote him 3 ranks for activity unbecoming of an officer. Let{s see Duckworth get by that one.

Watch how quickly she caves if one or more of those 1,123 senior U.S. Armed Forces promotions are constituents in her state.

Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., is NOT a part of the chain of command for Lt. Col. Vindman. She is NOT knowledgeable of his service record or fitness for command. She does not know the competition for promotion by other candidates.

Her interfering threats and coercion are illegal. She needs to be charged. Does she think that she is in Russia or some other communist country? Or have all of the Democrats come out of the closet with their hate of the USA?

The issue is never the issue.

The issue is the revolution.

And the Democrats are all about the revolution.

Colonel Vindman reminds me of Newman, from Seinfeld, except for the charisma....

Newman is in better shape.

I sure wish someone did that for me when I was in the zone. As it was, I had to earn my promotions on merit and quality of service.

Give Vindman Six - Six and a kick

Tammy Dumbworth can’t count up to 1000 without a staffer helping her.

Duckworth has Purple Hear “plot” armor. She might be confused, however, the reprobate has a Federal Senate position for life if she wants that.

Vindman? That self-important do-nothing Deep Stater?

Something really bad is going down here, if a Commie Rep wants that scum promoted.
