A retired general is under investigation for insulting Jill Biden
American Thinker ^ | 10 Jul, 2022 | Andrea Widburg

It’s not a question of whether he was right or wrong to have done so; it’s that the Pentagon always sat silently as retired senior officers abused President Trump.

The headline at the New York Post told the story: “Retired three-star general Gary Volesky suspended after tweet at Jill Biden.” Unlike Hunter, Jill’s stepson, General Volesky did not call Jill a “vindictive moron” and an “entitled c**t,” with the latter being one of the most obscene, vicious insults that can be directed at a woman. Volesky’s gentle gibe, though, was enough to get him suspended from his civilian contract job with the military and placed under investigation.

The story’s not complicated. From the Post:

Retired lieutenant general Gary Volesky, a former spokesman for the Army, responded to a tweet from Biden about the Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade, in which the First Lady remarked that women’s rights had been “stolen.”

Biden tweeted that “for nearly 50 years, women have had the right to make our own decisions about our bodies. Today, that right was stolen from us.”

Volesky responded, “Glad to see you finally know what a woman is.”

This administration is worthy of much mockery. Therefor, mockery is now a crime.

So you supposedly “insulted” someone. Why does that require an investigation? LOL

They are setting an example of the general. Criticize or mock this administration and see what happens to you.

Uh, what about little willy Milley’s actions against Trump?
Our military is rapidly turning into the enemy. A woke military WILL act against its own civilians. Just wait. Get read of these lowers in any manner possible before they turn on us.

Come on people. ‘Retired’ is irrelevant. He’s under contract. They can investigate before they fire him. The story is B.S. Barking up the wrong tree here.

No, he didn't say anything that bad. But since they have thrown down the glove then I think that any statements should include reminders of Hunter's full statements. Just to say it as a quote, not necessarily your opinion.

Jill Stolen is a private citizen. The RETIRED General has the right of free speech.

If the administration doesn’t want a partisan political response…don’t make an initial partisan political comment.

When did they make a law making it illegal to insult Jill, or Jo Jo Biden for that matter. Is Adam Schitt gonna run this “investigation” too? Does Obama’s FBI have an Insult Division yet?
